Songs for a Mother’s Heart

I’m a sentimental.

Being the only female in the house, I feel it’s my duty to expose my sons to the full range of female emotion.

They see me laughing (a lot).  Certainly they’ve seen me frustrated and angry, but I hope they’ve seen more kindness and gentleness.  They’ve seen me swoon when my husband enters the room and dance to “Mom’s Morning Dance Music” (yes, I have that playlist).

And they’ve seen the quiet moments.

The times when I’m not reading or working or on any device, just looking out the window.

The times when they see me crying because it’s just one of those days and I need some reminiscing music.

These are the songs for those days when you're feeling sentimental about how fast your kids are growing up. You know that feeling, moms, that chord deep down inside...

Usually those are the days I’m really feeling that they are growing up too fast, and although I’m infinitely proud of them…well, you know, moms.   You know that chord deep down inside.  That one that just needs some time to be still and f-e-e-l.

These are my songs for those days.  In honor of Mother’s Day coming up, I thought I’d share them with you.  (Speaking of Mother’s Day click here for a collection of my favorite recipes for Mother’s Day Brunch.  YUM!)

If your love swells like mine does when I hear some of these, go find your babies and kiss ‘em.  If they’re still little, scoop them right up and plant one on them.  If they’re older, like mine, skip the scooping them up step, but plant one on nonetheless.  Even if they squirm.  Maybe your baby isn’t at home anymore.  Kisses travel through phone lines, I’ve heard.

Happy Mother’s Day, Moms.

    Good morning! I came across your blog this morning and have been checking it out. I love it so far!

    I’ve been trying to sign up for your newsletter but it says “invalid interest” and I don’t know if it’s going through. I was really hoping for the each new post one.

      I’m so sorry! I’m no tech expert, and that side of blogging has been the most challenging for me. What I will do is check to see if you’ve been added, and if not, I will manually add you. I’m so pleased to ‘meet’ you!
