Motherhood Moments

DECEMBER 13, 2022

Zeigler uses playful rhymes and cheerful illustrations (by Mark Brayer) to share the story of a little girl whose mother tells her it’s time for a doctor visit. She is married and lives in South Carolina with her husband and two daughters. The child protests, "But I'm not sick!" But I’m Not Sick!

He loved it, although his mother asked him at the rehearsal dinner if he shouldn’t go get a haircut! ? My mother grew up on a farm, and from her accounts my grandmother and grandfather (who also was a foreman at the local glass factory, along with being an independent farmer) were frugal, and sometimes times were tight.

With their second child, many mothers have a different approach and confidence to their parenting – and Luvs brings that to light with their newest online video, “Breastfeeding,” which can be found here. I just watched the 4 videos and had a good laugh. Having had only one child, I never got to the second time around.

I have two nieces, both of whom are very creative (they take after their mother not my brother, their father). Blogger Rosie Alyea of Sweetapolita created this cute rainbow doodle cake for her daughter’s fourth birthday. It’s simple and adorable and makes her daughter (not the cake) the focus of the celebration.

The day starts/started with my mother or me or now my daughter getting up and stuffing the bird and getting it into the oven. Then my daughter required mashed potatoes. My nieces, my daughter and I sing all the songs, loudly , to the annoyance of my brother and son-in-law. I can still picture it in my mind.
