“its still is nice to drink a cup of hot coffee in one sitting.” I feel that one in my soul, lol. I’ve told my husband I won’t actually finish a cup if I’m not alone, so it’s a rarity.
Love that idea! It can’t be every day, but it can be some days! I, for one, am getting in a better habit of waking early and spending the morning with coffee and birdsong on my porch swing. As you say, so life giving.
I need and want to get into this habit! I love the early morning time! We are moving into a new house in a few weeks and I think a porch swing needs to go out front.
Cassandra, you just said everything I am thinking and I’m here for it!! The unlearning how we were parented and how it arises is so tough. I find myself having to repair a lot and I’m grateful for the information and knowledge given to me by those I chose to follow in parenting advice. Some of the podcasts I listen to really break it down and make those instances fewer but also repairable thank god! The part about the marriage is huge also. Since having children we have gone through our fair share of struggles, some that almost broke us. But with every struggle we have started communicating in ways that I don’t think would’ve been possible without them. We are still trying to find how to date each other again but noticing and communicating the ways we can show up for each other have helped immensely! And lastly your comment on motherhood feeling lonely even with our village. Preach sister! My kids are 5 and almost 2, so as much as I hold on to enjoying the age I remind myself of this time being so temporary and with that trying to allow myself grace in every aspect of this journey. So many paradoxes and so much love in this post! Thank you for sharing and the love for your children is tangible! 💜💜

It’s a requirement that at least one day of the weekend I get to do this because it is so life giving.

Ahhh, yes! My mom always had one out front. Our new place came with one. Now that it’s warm, I’m basically doing everything but sleeping out there. 😁
I completely understand that urge!
Thank you for sharing Emma 🤍

Not me tearing up knowing I’m not alone in the way I feel. Thank you so much 🤍
I resonate do much with all of this ❤️
We are in it together!!
I saw myself in these words in so many ways. Thank you for sharing Cassandra
