ellie's madre: June 2010
http://elliesmadre.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 09, 2010. Boys will be girls and girls will be boys. When I was little, I had long "pretty" hair that curled at the ends. I remember being told what a pretty little girl I was. My grandmother took me to a beauty salon to get my haircut one summer. I want to say it was 1st or 2nd grade. I don't remember why she took me, maybe I was tired of long hair? What am I really trying to protect her from? By pausing, am I telling her that short hair isn't pretty? Links to this post. Live with intent...

Sunday, August 16, 2009. My letter about Eleanor. I wrote this for my blessing today. I wrote it to honor my relationship with my daughter Eleanor. Of course I cried throughout reading most of it. She is an awesome girl and I am lucky that she is my daughter. I wonder who she will become as she grows up, how she will love, what will excite her. What will her profession be, will she go away to school. I am already so proud of the person she is. I know that will only grow as she gets older, no ...Live with...

Monday, May 31, 2010. In your face all month, that's right. I'm going to copy Korin and make a commitment to blog everyday. Even if it's just a sentence, a phrase! Let's see what is new around here. I am doing much better with adjusting to being a mother of two. I just realized that I haven't felt the anxiety in quite awhile. Yay! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

ellie's madre: Day 2
http://elliesmadre.blogspot.com/2010/10/day-2.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. We are done with pregnancy and peeing on sticks around here. We are moving on to the next phase of parenting, with school and family trips and activities. And I am okay with that. I am hoping that I can start to see my period in a different way eventually. I don't want to fall into this place everytime I see blood. I feel like I am on the verge of something great and life-changing. Have you ever felt that way? I'm not nervous, I'm excited. 8220;Live with intention. Walk to t...

Sunday, May 31, 2009. Here I am at 22 weeks 1 day. I went to the thrift store this day looking for some newborn clothes. The checker asked if I had a little one at home too. I said my belly and said, "I have a little one still cooking right here." I thought for sure I was clearly showing! But I guess one has to be careful when assuming someone is pregnant, right?

ellie's madre: Wonder
http://elliesmadre.blogspot.com/2010/12/wonder.html
Wednesday, December 08, 2010. December 4 – Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? I think having children really helps you to not lose your sense of wonder. To cultivate it, I went for walks with them. We talked and looked for treasures. We read together every night. We talk about our dreams. We dance. Aww, this is a fabulously sweet post!
