		<description>kristin,
your words as always are inspiring.  i loved reading your blog as i sit here in my pj&#039;s w coffee.  it makes me think of all my friends on the east coast who look forward to sending their kids away to &quot;sleep away&quot; camp for 7 weeks in the summer.  i know all the plus benefits of sleep away-independency, sportsmanship and lifelong friendships.  i can only think to myself that these tender moments with our children will &quot;quickly be gone.&quot;  i am holding on and embracing motherhood everyday.  what will i do when i no longer hear their little giggling and bickering in the other rooms?  

i think they will be just fine with us for 7 weeks, we will give them their independency, encourage sportsmanship and trust that they will continue to develop their lifelong friendships at home.  we all have been given the wonderful gift of &quot;motherhood.&quot;  keep inspiring and showing us the way girlfriend.

p.s.  i can&#039;t help but laugh at myself because i would be happy with the homemade cards (i save them in my special box) and flowers, but if it stopped there i would be sad....motherhood deserves gifts, BIG gifts.  lol</description>

		<description>Kristen,
Thank you for the beautiful Mother&#039;s Day blog. For some reason, I just found it now. I wholeheartedly agree that we should embrace every moment with our children- even the tough ones. I always try to handle the challenging moments by reminding myself that every emotion that my child is feeling is real and important. It teaches me emotional intelligence, patience and enables me to connect with him through empathy.  Since we never stop being mothers- we should celebrate our role everyday.  

I love your blog.  Keep inspiring us!

XO,

		<description>Kristin,
I only just found this blog!  Sad to say because I would have really enjoyed reading through it on Mother&#039;s Day!  Nonetheless I wanted to let you know that not only are you a wonderful mom and reflective ,epiphanous person you are truly a wonderful example of inspiration to me! 
 
As I have mentioned before the thought process/preparation that goes into posting one blog for all of us women to read, and walk away with new ways to be reflective and find meaning in the life we lead not only as mothers, but as friends, sisters, wifes, and daughters and co-workers is truly amazing!  Your thoughts.. are words of wisdom and guidance that leave me with a desire to inspire everyone I come in contact with sometimes by just giving a smile to someone who needs one!  Thank you for your generous contribution to the wonderful role of mothering our future generation!
I Love You</description>
