I loved this post! So relatable and hilarious. I love the mothering personas, and I'm totally going to picture a few of those the next time I am mediating a situation in the kitchen. 😜

Lolololol I hope they serve you well. Or at least give you a little giggle in the chaos.

That quote from The Irrational Season resonated so deeply, I'm adding to my list!

It’s one of 4 collections of essays of hers and now I want to read them all!

You wrote everything that happens in my home, heart, and brain…but with the elegance and poise only you can achieve!

Also, I know the style of writing down what you’ve done (love) is also a homeschool method many moms keep! No daily plan, just curriculum and momentum 👏

Heck yeah! Friends of mine call it “planning from behind” and I think it’s brilliant.

You've been in my home, haven't you??!! That scene is on repeat here too with the kids and I love your reflections! I also adored Dolly All the Time! Currently number five for the library copy of Whistler!
