I am lucky to have a really amazing friend, she is writes so beautifully about her family and her adorable little girls. check out her blog, its sarah on my blog roll :) she got me thinking about being a mother and I hope I don't repeat what she has said but she really got me thinking about being a mom to such an amazing little girl as mine. Kirsten and I spend lots of time in the car.....we talk, I listen to her endless questions about this and that, and I admit sometimes (much more than I should) I get frustrated with her constant questions. But I am lucky, to have such a smart little angel, she is curious about the world around her, the world passing her by as we drive through, and who her mom is talking to and what she said on the phone. :)
Everyday I spend with my little girl is a precious gift to me. I see so many single moms who work themselves to the bone to keep their homes afloat to to be the best moms they can be. I have been blessed to be home with daughter, to enjoy her laughter, to enjoy summer days spent hiking, at the pool and our many adventures. I hope as the years go by our bond will stay strong...I feel blessed to have this year just her and I. I think it will always keep her and I close...I hope we have many hours spent talking, laughing. I hope I am someone she can confide in when she's 12, 17 and 30. I can't wait for the late night chats whens he comes home from her first date, prom and her first heartbreak.
Its me and you babe....you are stuck with me for eternity ;)

And no one could be a better mom to her than you Maren! (In fact, there will be no one else she will want to turn to with the relationship you are building with her now.)
Who doesn't get frustrated? That's what I want to know! :) It's just good to see that good in our little ones...so that we can be better moms to them! :) Way to go Maren!
Ok honestly I almost cried reading that. Maren your amazing! Its crazy to fast forward and picture our kids growing up. We have a lot ahead of us :)
What a cute post! That is a really sweet picture of you and Kirsten!
Sorry I've been out of the blogging world for a little bit and haven't read your sweet posts. I'm teary eyed reading this one. You are a darling mother and you are both very lucky to have each other.
Hey its Amanda Moore....that is the sweetst thing I have ever read. You are an amazing mom!!! I know what you mean by the million questions, Ethan does the same thing!!! Hey,I may be moving to Iowa and living about an hour away from Kim. I hope you are having a great summer.
Kirsten is lucky to have you as a mom!!! I think your awesome. I love reading Sarah's blog too! Lets get together soon.
Maren, you are the best mom. And I know that because I saw you before and I see you now. You are the best. I tend to write a lot about the good things and not about how much I space out while they ask me those constant questions. Or about how I tell them to play in their room and stop talking to Mommy for a little while. There's only so much a brain can handle, ya know? But you are a good friend to me and an even better mom. I wish you lived closer to me. Come visit again.
Love you.
