One on One

Lately I have been trying to make some extra special time for Mara. It gives us a chance to talk about our life, school and most recently puberty and the birds and the bees. Oh how do I love these conversations. Is there a manual for this type of stuff?? I do the best that I can to be honest but not say too much. I mean she is only 9!! Mara loves getting a special treat and she especially loves getting me all to herself.

My hope is that if I have this type of open conversation with her now that she will always feel comfortable coming to me in good times and bad. Being a mom is the best gift that I could have ever been given. I love my girls more then anything in this world and know that this was what I was meant to do!
