Jump on it —22-month-old

My kids are the reason I wake up. Really early. Every morning. Try this mama: go to sleep.

You’re beautiful —22-month-old

Motherhood makes us feel beautiful. Yes, it's intense to be so needed (all the time), but it's also just so meaningful. From feeding meals to bathing, cuddling to reading—a child's needs are constant, but simple and achievable. A mama feeds, cleans, plays, teaches, cuddles, kisses. It's a beautiful thing to be so loved and so wanted. XO, TeamMotherly P.S. We adore all of Aden + Anais blankets, but especially this merino wool edition for snuggles in your toddler's bed. Toddler this week: Your tot understands way more words than she can say. Try this: Keep narrating the world around you both, and asking for her input, even if you have to interpret gestures or partly-formed sentences.
