Larger than Life

Uffda. The transition to being the wife of one and mother of six has been something else. I have a hundred posts floating around in my head but (seemingly) zero time to compose them.

Wouldn’t you rather just meet for coffee? I promise I’d talk your ear off if we did.

AMDG,

    Would love to. However, even though the western suburb I live in isn't too far away, I am having similar issues being the wife of one and mother of five. (And I don't even home-school or blog! I don't know how you do it all.) Gotta go, cleaning the house for a sleepover and then onto grocery shopping and as always, laundry.
    Blessings, Brenda

    The transition from being a wife of one and mother of six?

    Have you gone and run off already?

    I wish I could! I am in the same boat…Anniversary party for my folks today, baptism (for which we are godparents) tomorrow, cleaning for company coming next week and weekend for Ellie's baptism…UGH! I could do with a break and a visit with you!

    Oh, if only. I'd love it! You know we would all gather 'round and let you talk our ears off! 😀
    Blessings on you and your family as you continue to transition.

    Oh what a tempting invitation!!! I bet it's nearly tolerable up there, much better than 101 we've been getting down here.

    Peace!

    A day of girl gab and laughs sounds like what we all need right about now. I know I could use a break. I must live near peaceandquiet as it is hotter than you-know-where here in Florida with feel-like temps over 100 and oppressive humidity. Minnesota sounds wonderful – count me in Margaret!!!

    Perhaps the next time I go visit Chicago, my sweet husband will allow us to swing up to Minnesoh-ta for a visit… 🙂

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
