Mom’s Eye View

August 8, 2013 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Motherhood 6 Comments

Look who’s crawling.
Mom's Eye View II
You will note, perhaps, the absence of an exclamation point in that statement. I am not ready for him to be crawling. My kitchen’s floor’s not ready; my stacks of books to be sorted are not ready.
Mom's Eye View I
I have a ton, almost literally, of books and curricula I’m selling. If you would like to see a list of everything, shoot me an email and I’ll send you it.

And finally, in other much-anticipated news, the five big kids get back from camp tomorrow! That remark does get an exclamation point because someone’s been missing them like nobody’s business.
Mom's Eye Perspective IV
Except…by telling you I’ve made it everyone’s business.

Because,  you know, that’s what we moms do.

Like his shiner, by the way? A hand weight fell off the shelf on him which would suggest, in my opinion, that exercising’s dangerous. Not really, but that’s my excuse for this morning anyway and in ANY case, I’m getting all the exercise I need keeping this little man happy. I am so ready to have my whole family together!

When the kids are gone too long, I stop enjoying the quiet.

Instead, I just notice...the empty.

Even More News that Makes Me Happy: 


Did you see that Jenn is back?!

And that Sarah posted her Twins’ Birth Story?!

      Or how about, "There were only five of them but they were very brave and their hearts were full of love." That line's a keeper, too.

    Poor sweet boy. I pulled my back dusting the other day so I have now determined that dusting is too dangerous to do in the house.

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. ♥
