My mothering day.
January 06, 2010
This month is so sentimental to me: It’s a month full of birthdays. The birthday of my two Irish twins (Yep…12 months apart, baby!) and my Mothering Birthday. I had never really ever thought of it this way: my eldest daughter’s birthday is really my day too: the day I became a Mom. And this month it’ll be 5 years of mothering. Wow. FIVE. Sometimes it seems like a lot, and other days….I it is just the beginning.
5 years ago:
I was in the middle of my first birth.
I held my first baby.
I felt her soft scalp and understood why they call newborn’s hair “velvet”
I found my true calling.
I cried my first tears of joy after a long wait of trying to conceive.
I became amazed at how natural it felt to care for and be responsible for this fresh new soul straight from Heaven.
I felt more heroic then ever before: I gave birth!! My body is incredible and made to do that!
I learned what all parents say they are amazed with: the instant love you have for your child
I gained a love for my husband I’d never known.
I learned a new meaning of ‘tired’
It was the beginning of life as I know it. And I love it.
(And I have to comment on this photo walking towards the door: How did I open my own door in those days? Mother’s of twins and Irish twins can appreciate those kinds of minor details!)
For more baby love, check out this new favorite movie trailer of mine. Completely awesome.

Love this idea. Thanks for sharing it. And happy mothering day to you!
Happy “Mothering” Birthday! Mine is next month and I can’t wait to celebrate everything you mentioned! Your heart is so sweet.
I have been looking at your shop on etsy and was wondering if you sell the print for the “February” girl (that is included on the calendar). I may have overlooked it….
Thanks!

Congratulations on being a mother for five years! I can’t wait to have a little one and fill their bedroom with your classic illustrations!
What a sweet picture and gorgeous memories.
My husband always calls his mother first thing on his birthday to wish her well and thank her. She tells me he’s the only one of her 10 kids to do so! Love the picture of you holding your Irish twins. The time is so fleeting. Cherish it well.
Happy Mothering day to you, as a fellow momma of Irish twins my self I know how it is. But my how time does fly. Now with a almost 4,3 and 1 year old Life is FULL of new adventures and surprises!
I remember the day you came over and told me you were pregnant again! I almost fainted! How fun for those kids!
Sweet post and inspirational. Happy Mothering day!

My sister and I are 11 months apart. We were supposed to be 10, but I hung out in my moms uterus longer. My mom also had a 3 year old when I was born. So…ya, I can only imagine how tiring it must be!
beautiful Sarah! Love it, love the words, love the pics, love the family, love my special friend! Hope the holidays were all the you needed and more!!
