Ok then, it was a week ago that the Topanga, Westlake, West LA and LB moms and kids converged on the Broadway Deli. Traffic got to some of us and we ate in hilarious shifts. First Joan and L. Then my kiddos, Dad and me. In comes Jem with M and H and finally, Michelle and the boys arrived. We talked and walked and talked and walked along the Santa Monica Promenade until Joan made us stop for gelato.
I can't tell you how much I love these women. They are individual and familiar and beautiful and so magnificently magical. Joan with a bit of Ireland in her voice and lyrical laugh. Jemma with the outright guffaw, and the zest to just keep going until we can't. And Michelle, who laughs
with her (still short) men while she stares down life's dragons and offers them her happy flash of a smile.
I'll tell you more about these moms in a few days.
I'm inviting them and you to participate in a fun
Blog Event for the month of May (or before, it's your pleasure) called:
The Name is Mom.
Share your stories of your walk in momhood. What do you love? What surprised you? Share the ups and the downs. Share a moment. Share many moments. Pose a question. Talk about your favorite mom. Your mom. Your grandma. Tell how a mom changed you or how being a mom changed you. We can likely fill a whole month with wonderful stories. Write once or write every day. It's up to you.
Mary has designed a beautiful button which I'll make available.
Email me if you're in and off we go!
We'd love to have you.
Happy Mom Musings to you.
I'm most interested to share and to note that SEVERAL of the blogs I enjoy have been quiet for the last week or so. Mine included. I've read in many places that we are taking a week off, retreating, busy, focusing on our homes, focusing on our kids, seeking focus.
