Mama's Around the World......I need a Prayer

Have you ever sat down and thought about how amazingly powerful Mamas are?  I have.  I have a lot lately seeing different Mamas in their own situations that call on them to have some HUGE strength everyday.  Some are being asked more than others to be a Super Mama,  but all Mamas are super and more importantly they are strong.  Mamas are my heros.

I will make this simple.  I need a favor.  I need every Mama reading this post to help me out. I need you all to say a prayer, a positive thought, send a loving vibe, a healing thought, a warm wish.  Take all your light inside your Super Mama body and mind and for one second please send it all to a baby girl named Harper.  If you can do it again throughout the day, pass this along to another Mama to do the same, think her as often as you can and send her all that light and love, I would be forever grateful.  I wouldn't ask you if it weren't important.  It is.  Trust me, it is.

I won't get into the complex details surrounding this little girl's arrival, but I will try to make this summary short because I want to focus on the positive and ask that you all do the same.

Her Mama is my friend.  Her Mama had this little baby girl way too early.  She may be little but she is a fighter and strong and we need to her keep getting stronger and stronger everyday and come on home with her family.  We need her healthy and home where she belongs.  I may be making this way too simple but if I can just do one thing for this girl, for her Mama, for her whole family......it will be to get the world sending love and light to Harper.

So I am calling out to you....in Latvia, Russia, Canada, Egypt, Hong Kong, The United States, Indonesia, Taiwan, the UK, Australia, Germany, Norway, India and whomever else may be finding this post......please, take a moment and send that baby girl your thoughts.  Maybe you can even comment on this post and wish her Mama and family well too.

Together we can make a difference.  I want her to feel all this love today.  I want her family to feel it.  

Thanks for listening.

What Love Looks like This Week

White cozy hat to cover a precious bean.

Sibling love.

Spooky kid-made decorations.

Warm pjs.

Discovery.

Sisters.

Marmalade's purse that she fills with toys and takes everywhere....no, no, excuse me it is her "pockabook!"

Entertaining himself with his V-Tech Innotab.

Chica's cheeks!

Twigs and feathers by the bundle.

Just her being her....the biggest gift of my life...my Chica.

................That is what love looked like this week.


What did love sound like this week?

Cooing and bubble blowing from Chica,  and I can just tell that she so wants to laugh out loud for the 1st time!

Marmalade saying "Look at the fans!" when she was pointing to the windmills on the mountains that surround our home.


"I wanna throw a rock in the tubby!" is what Marmalade says about the river every time we pass over the bridge by our house on our walk.

"I wub you Mama." -Marmalade to me.

It was, "Thanks for dinner, Babe, "  and a hug from hubby after our dinner where I made ham, beans from the farmer's market and THESE salt and vinegar broiled fingerling potatoes!

What did love smell like this week? 

Fallen leaves.

A pumpkin candle burning in the house.

That new baby head smell that Chica still has.  If you don't have a new baby head to sniff you should seriously try this new product!


What did love feel like this week?

11.5  pounds of  baby snuggled on my chest.

A bear hug from Bubba.

Crisp cold autumn air, which to me this week is a gift because I am still having crazy hot flashes!  (I feel like I am getting a sneak preview of menosause and guess what.....it sucks.)

What did love taste like this week?

Hearing all the compliments from everyone in the family who is on solid foods after eating the pumpkin dip I made for us. (Pumpkin fluff dip = 16oz Cool Whip, small instant vanilla pudding package, 1 can pumpkin, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice....thanks Pinterest for 3 yummy recipes this week!)

Pumpkin pie popsicles!!!   I am obsessed with anything pumpkin. 

Hope that fulfilled all your senses.  Go out there and enjoy the fall!

Love,
Mama Nic

To My Hubby

Here is a quote from our wedding song, "More & More" by Rick Redington and the Luv.  I think it perfectly fits our life and our love,  and our growing family.........

"With each new day a whole new way

To find the love the light the way

You'll see in time, it all works fine,

To make the rhyme, we all must find

More and more"


Happy Valentine's Day, Babe!  Love you...now and always.
