A Mother’s Concerns

I worry about him constantly, endlessly

Is he eating okay?

When he’s driving in the rain, does he turn his lights on?

When he comes home late, is it safe for him to walk to his apartment?

Is he working too much? Taking on extra shifts?

Does he get along well with his roommates?

Do they all chip in and doesn’t let him cook all the time?

Does he miss us as much as we miss him?

Will he ever come back home?

Does this get any easier?

Hi fellow mommy blogger!

Ah, true words from any mothers’ heart. My little one is still a toddler, I can’t even imagine how hard it will be when she gets older.

I wanted to invite you to a mom blogger community that will have specific advice for mom bloggers like yourself! Helpful tips on how to manage cooking dinner for your family while pushing out a post during the day. Or if you’d like to get more in depth with your blog, how to monetize it and stand out in the sea of 14 million other mommy blogs. If you’re interested, I’d love to welcome you! Please check it out here: http://www.startamomblog.com

Have a wonderful holiday season!
Hugs, Suzi

I wish it got easier. Still waiting. 🙂 Mine moved back home and it’s been easier to be of help, but I know one day he will be gone again living elsewhere. When he lived away, I realized how much I hadn’t taught him. I know some of it he will need to learn on his own, but some I think I can still teach him. 🙂

  Thanks for your input, Beth. Nothing can really prepare us for these milestones but all we can do is try our best. I wonder if it’s the same when they get married

    I wonder that too! I guess we cross that bridge when we get to it. 🙂
