Mamma Monday: My friend M…

June 7, 2010 By Erika Zane

7 Jun

Today’s Mamma Monday is about a very good friend of mine, M. It’s hard to believe we’ve only known each other for about 6 months! M and I met at a baby care class at the midwifery we were both planning on having our babies at about a month before our due dates (I’ll tell my birth story later this week). So, needless to say, our babies are about the same age. We initially got together after that class because we live about two miles away from each other and she, like me, is also a breastfeeding and cloth diapering mamma.  We have since become pretty close..

M is the kind of friend who really listens to you when you talk… REALLY LISTENS. She doesn’t just pretend to listen: She remembers everything you tell her and then keeps tabs on the outcomes (as in, when you tell her about what’s going on in your life, she ALWAYS follows up to see how everything worked out). She is also the kind of person who tries to bring her friends together by inviting them along when she’s invited somewhere, hosting mamma get-togethers at her house, and planning outings (whether it be a walk and lunch in the park in the spring or swimming at an indoor pool in the winter). She has her own business out of her home, yet still always finds the time to spend quality time with her family and her friends.

What makes her a special mamma? She recently wrote a post on her blog about how important it is to her that their life as a family be “Unhurried” and this is just the perfect example of what makes her so amazing.  She puts so much careful thought and consideration into exemplifying the important things in life so that her daughter will never have any doubt. She is a nurturing, loving, caring, sensitive, and strong mamma who so obviously adores her baby girl and I feel blessed to have her in my life!  Check back tomorrow or Wednesday for her guest post!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
