Today my kids and I decided to go hiking. I have been helping them carve one of a kind walking sticks so that as we enter the summer they can take their stick on their adventures and have it to remind them of all the places they have been. Today we only went two miles but it was rocky terrain. I was really proud of Zane. As I watched him with his stick, conquer each steep or uneven path, I thought of how I am also teaching them life lessons. That no matter how difficult the path might seem, they can overcome it. We rested near a pond to feast on sprout and tofu sandwiched in between the delicious bread they helped bake this morning. I couldn't help but think as I breathed in the fresh air surrounded by these spry little ones, this is what motherhood is all about.

what you aren't telling people is that you carried your baby in your new organic cotton sling the entire way (while breastfeeding). You go woman!
