Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush

They are gorgeous and so are you. Don't argue...you look amazing!
Those weeks after giving birth does take it's toll on mommys...the kids always look great and one hopes that what friends will take notice of...though I loving hug for mommy would be most appreciated...then nothing matters...just the smile of joy on your face.
aw, sweet and funny and true post.
love the description of yourself, the dog hair twirling in the closet and your mistake side ways pony. I have a feeling you looked hip anyway though, Maggie May.
Oh darling. You haven't really given up that baton yet. Not for awhile. Not THAT baton.
Oh Maggie, I love this post!! Sweet motherhood, but by god, we do the best we care to. I guess I need to hurry and have a girl to have someone to pass the baton to, Jackson Daniel is rarely representative of what I used to be, he is lucky if his socks match! : ) So glad you all are doing well.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. That's all I can say about that :)
xo
This made me smile. You know you'll get a lot of that back, don't you, beautiful Maggie?
You are radiant and your girls are tiny mirrors of you.
sweetness...enjoy
Lol to this, the exact reason why my blog is named as it is! 8 months after the birth of my first (and possibly only) daughter, and I'm finally starting to feel like I can look "put together" again. I've got hope for you, too!
so very true is the sentiment, but not the fact of it. you are, all three of you, gorgeous. but i still know what you mean by this post, and it's a beautiful thing.
"-and then put on Uggs."
That's is just THE topper to a (not) sexy outfit, isn't it?
I'm right there in the dog hair closet, seester. (except that mine is at least 60% cat).
Your beauty evolves just like their beauty, Maggie. You know where they're going because you're out ahead, charting the waters. And you're doing a fine job.
I think Ever definitely has Mr. Curry's eyes. Heartbreakers those eyes are.
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, you are so funny! You will get back to your normal stylish, lovely, semi-composed self... you WILL!
I always say that Harley is much better dressed than either of his parents, and it's true. We get hand me downs from very fashion conscious families! (We did not plan it, it just is) And so, he is always dressed to kill! I am more like the twirling dervish you described in your closet.
I'm happy you are enjoying this time and soaking it in.
Merry Christmas Maggie. It's been a hell of a year!
xo pf
The joy and love they give you in return is priceless. You'll get your fine figure back eventually. Wishing you and your beautiful family a wonderful Christmas filled with love, family and friends. xoxo
I love this post. You are right, as usual. Good trade.
I adore you.
Someone looks as contemplative as you.
That is exactly how I feel when I look at my daughter. You captured it perfectly.
a lovely mama (yes, you are!) wishing all the good things a mother wants for her girls. yes, i know what that is like too.
merry christmas to you and your beautiful family.
this was so heartfelt and beautiful. thank you. and you're beautiful too. make yourself feel it. don't lose it, for your girls' sake!
I think you are all radiant!
a wonderful and loving mom's point of view. may they grow beautiful and strong. you'll get back in shape soon :)
Hi Maggie,
It's a lovely, worthwhile trade- but, you will get your body and sense of style back! The months of little sleep, and milky spit-up on your shoulder will definitely pass, and you will be stepping out with your daughters, all three of you confident and stylish! Merry, Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!
I think its a few more years till you have to hand over that batton - that happened for me when my girls were about 16 and when I walked down the street I would see the eyes of men flick right over me to them - and in a way I enjoyed my invisibility - you see so much more when people don't see you
