Thanks Maryanne! I wrote that almost exactly a year ago and still I sometimes feel I’m living with leftovers (http://lovelucie.com/2012/02/03/living-with-leftovers/)
but the more we share, the more we talk, the more courage we get to create our best life from not just the leftovers.
It’s the journey right?

Just saw this blog now…outstanding! It is SO true…I don’t have children myself but I totally agree with what you are saying because I see so many moms who put their own needs at the bottom of the list.

They literally leave mere scraps – time, food, love, attention, space – for themselves. But motherhood isn’t supposed to be martyrdom. It’s supposed to be about loving and raising healthy & caring children in a world that frankly, doesn’t need yet one more voice saying “Me first!”

Thank you Lucie…you sure hit a chord with me this morning

I’ll have you know that I actually cooked supper last night and made three different lunches!

I’m glad you are giddy today, my love. You deserve the time and freedom to unwind.

Thank you for all that you do to keep the Chapman boys (including me) on track.

We love you and cannot wait to welcome you back to our crazy world.

Love
Dave

Oh this post made me want to find a quiet corner to nap in. Solitude sounds glorious!

You are obviously more convincing than me – tomorrow I’m calling in sick!
Make hay while the sun shines and the peanut butter jar is full; a dinner of cheesy cauliflower paired with pinot grigio sounds as dreamy as two days of solitude.

Yup…love this! I, too, am at a place where i would rather be happy with who I am and what I look like NOW versus striving towards perfection. I love food…and if I try and go without the food I love, I too get grumpy.

I, too, love to write…and now that I’m in my early 40′s I realize that the body I have is a reflection of my lifestyle and the things I love to do. Writing entails some sitting so I am not skinny and I have a nice well-developed bottom. But I also love to get up and go for walks and dance and do yoga, so I’m strong & healthy!

Great blog…here’s to a beautiful new year,
MA
