I would like to print your words and give them to every new mother I may meet. I am not a mother myself, but I have six siblings and understand every word you said to be true. Thank you for sharing.
PS. This recipe looks divine.

In reply to brigitte.

I’m not sure the brand – it’s terribly old, my mother-in-law gave it to me; I think it was her grandmothers.

You know, if only my mom made me so much waffles… your children are so lucky. As a child who grew up without a mother, I can understand that no matter what, your presence is the single most important thing. One day, they will read this and it will feel just like your love.

Best.

beautifully written. it’s amazing how motherhood can create such an unspoken bond between mothers and children. I can read every look my children give, I can hear their thoughts just in the tone of their voice and I always decipher their mood based on their actions. motherhood truly is a gift that I gladly embrace.

lovely post.

So beautifully expressed. I have wondered this, what does it feel like to be on the receiving end of so much unsolicited advice? (Specific to motherhood.) And you answered that question with such grace and eloquence.

This is a perfect, wonderful post, and I’m sad to be reading it this late, because I could have used it’s beauty sooner. THIS is the reason why I come here again and again. What a lovely tribute to a soon-to-be mother and a gorgeous recipe to represent it.
