Tuesday memes | a mother's day ...


kimklassencafe


* This week's textures are coming courtesy of a screen and branches


This is what is going on outside my son's bedroom window.




a mom . . .

 

her babes . . .





a job that doesn't end at 5 pm







protecting the nest at the same time bringing home the bacon -
(or worm, or I believe bug in this case)






finding peace not only in silencing the peeps with full tummies,
but in knowing they are okay and content.
. . .
because even when she would give anything for 5 minutes of sleep
a mom is only at peace when her babies are okay.




it is unlikely this mom will get a card this Sunday
- but I am sure that if she can keep them alive long enough to push them out of the nest
and securely on their own
that will be thanks enough for her.

me too!

  8. Sweet photos! We have been wondering up here about the robins. We usually have so many but this year I've only seen four or five. Not sure why that is. You are right about mothers and sleep. I've never gotten back to my pre-motherhood sleep patterns. Bah!

  17. There is something so joyful in seeing new babies being fortified by Mom...it's what we do, fortify our young even after they have left their nest.
