meditations of a blueberry: Am I Enough?
http://meditationsofablueberry.blogspot.com/2014/10/am-i-enough.html
Meditations of a blueberry. Things I see, things I like, and things I think. Thursday, October 9, 2014. Sometimes I lay here in bed, basked in the sweet silence of a sleeping husband and baby, and reflect on my day. I try to be positive about it, but sometimes that negative mom guilt takes over and a parade of thoughts barrage into my brain. Did I yell too much? Did I feed them healthy enough food? Should we have gone outside more? Should I have played more with them? Was I present enough? Dear Old Lady ...

meditations of a blueberry: February 2015
http://meditationsofablueberry.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Meditations of a blueberry. Things I see, things I like, and things I think. Sunday, February 15, 2015. Parenting as an Introvert. Build time for rest and quiet into your routine.

Taking care of yourself and taking this time will help you respond to your children. Stay active. Going for my almost daily walk helps me to refo...

The smallest things set me off into an angry, pregnancy rage. Thankfully, mrblueberry is understanding and has been taking it all in stride. It is so hard at this point to be positive. I am trying. I keep repeating those affirmations. When are you due? And when I tell them last week I get dumbfounded stares with responses like...

The other day I was out shopping alone with the baby while my husband was at home with my other two. As is my usual routine, I was wearing him. I saw you walking with your husband.

Meditations of a blueberry. Things I see, things I like, and things I think. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. A Letter to My Friends. Dear my pre-children friends,. I know what you might be thinking. I "asked" for this by having kids. And I suppose you're right. But that doesn't mean that I can't admit that it's hard. Because it is. Very. Harder than I ever imagined. Don't get me wrong. I love my kids very much. I wouldn't change my life for anything. It's still hard. Love your very tired friend,. Loïc Jame...
