The simplicity in your writings is charming, i love “child of whimsy” it’s so beautiful and truthful. even thought and as far as i know motherhood isn’t easy, but you’ve reflected the beauty of it :).

Thank you for taking the time to send me this beautiful note. Such a nice surprise to wake up to this morning. I cherry picked some of my favorite moments of motherhood, and my own childhood, for “child of whimsy”. No need to talk about crying nights when sleep is a lost cause for both of us, and you’re praying for morning, when you can call the doctor to get a prescription to heal the ear infection your five month old baby has, for the Ella Bella challenge. I have two sons, ages 11 and 8. It was fun to imagine having a little girl, as I first wrote and then rewrote it with colored markers on colored paper. I have one niece. Her name is Emma. I may tweak it a bit as a gift for her. ~ Janean
