Mama Loves: YOU!

Welcome to another week of Mama Loves! So glad that you've stopped by!

Mama Loves is a linky party where mamas can share anything that has made your life easier as a mama.

Maybe you've found: 

• a toy or book that captivates your child(ren)
• gear you just can't live without
• a recipe your choosy toddler gobbles down
• a parenting book that you've found perspective changing
• an activity that wears your kid(s) out (these lead to good naps, which we all love)
• an outfit that flatters your post-baby body and makes you feel fabulous
• or anything else you're loving--creativity welcome!

Share it with us! Blogging has made me a better mama, because I've learned about all kinds of great things, like those listed above, from mamas just like you. Here's your chance to share it with all of us!

To link your post up, click on the linky tool at the bottom, and follow the directions, it's really easy. You can also add this beautiful button to your post. Just grab the code in the box, copy and paste it into your post. Easy.

I want to apologize, yet again, for the linky malfunction. There were some really great link ups this past week. Please, take a moment to check them out--child friendly nativity sets, a fabulous magnet board, and high chairs the survived a cross-country move. You won't be disappointed---lots of good stuff!

I am hopeful that this week our linky problems are solved. Please, please, please?!?

I wanted to take a moment to say Merry Christmas to each of you.

And to give you each a big huge thank you for showing up here to read me.

This whole blogging thing---it's a bit vulnerable sometimes. I put myself, my girls, our family out there. It's a risk--there's scrutiny involved. Sometimes people don't like me, or what I have to say. Sometimes I'm not their flava. 

 

Did  I date myself? I think I just dated myself.

Old school rap holds a special place in my heart. Even Flava Flav, who wears a gigantic clock around his neck.

Most of the time, though, there's support, encouragement, and love. Thank you to all of you who take the time to stop here and read, comment or link up with Mama Loves. Each gesture blesses my heart.

I truly am a better mama because of all of you. The wisdom and experience that each you share here--be it ideas for crafts, toys, books, parenting advice, food, safety, useful gear, time-savers, gifts, handy tips and even friendship--all of it benefits me, my girls, and even my husband. Thank you!

I wish for each of you this Christmas:

homes echoing of laughter

bellies satisfied with delicious food

living rooms cluttered with creative play

hearts brimming with love

souls stretched with grace

Love and a very Merry Christmas to each of you!

I can't wait to see what you're loving this week!
