LINK TITLE

For the past few weeks we’ve tried out having a prompt IF and only IF you would like to use it.

This week the prompt is: MOTHERHOOD. Let’s see it in all its beautiful forms.

I’ve posted this picture before. I’m posting it again because it screams motherhood to me. I have all of my babies with me, connected, and we are heading towards one common goal.

That’s kind of what motherhood is to me. Loving up my babies and trying to help lead them in the right direction. I pray I’m doing a decent job.

For Next WEEK, The prompt is:

Sleeping. Kids sleeping…….you sleeping. Your dog sleeping. Totally up to you.

PLEASE let me know (with an asterik by your name or blog title) if your post is about motherhood. If it is, and you are the winning Wordful Wednesday entry, you’ll recieve TWO things. First, a feature on Eliza’s blog with your winning entry, AND secondly, a set of aden + anais Zoo Muslin swaddling blankets (pictured below).

20 Milk and Honey Mommy October 21, 2009 at 2:14 am: Angie,

In a weird way, my picture is a reflection of motherhood. Right now it is the only one I have of my three children and me. They walk in my shadow as I teach them about life and I hope to follow them like a shadow always protecting them.
21 Milk and Honey Mommy October 21, 2009 at 2:18 am: Angie,

Oops! The picture of you and your children is just lovely. It's one of those that I'm sure not only you, but your children too, will appreciate (if not now) definitely when they grow older.
22 Buckeroomama October 21, 2009 at 2:28 am: I love your photo!! It totally says "motherhood" …perfect.

49 4 Lettre Words October 21, 2009 at 10:28 am: Lovely photo!

I forgot about the theme, once again. Tho, it might have been funny if I did put an asterik, considering my photo! )
50 Susie October 21, 2009 at 10:41 am: My post isn't about motherhood per se but, we do have to feed our children. Finding new recipes is one way I nurish our family:-)

57 Octamom October 21, 2009 at 1:06 pm: I couldn't decide if my post qualified as a motherhood post or not–although I do think only a mother would be willing to spend hours pulling nits out of her kids' hair…

Blessings!

64 Postcards from Wildwood October 21, 2009 at 2:54 pm: Beautiful photo of you and your children, Angie. I recognise it as being from the same photoshoot as the one in your sidebar … that is, unless you always all wear denim and white! And yes, I agree with you about motherhood and my post says something not too dissimilar.
Janice.
65 Kekibird October 21, 2009 at 3:31 pm: That's a gorgeous picture. I could make mine into a post about motherhood but I'll let it speak for itself.
66 Michelle October 21, 2009 at 4:27 pm: You are going to have to retake that picture in a few years to show the kids growth. How fun it would be to compare the years!
67 shopannies October 21, 2009 at 4:28 pm: just a beautiful picture love all the white as helps to stand for the innocent relationship amongst the mother and child

80 parentingBYdummies October 21, 2009 at 11:18 pm: And, after meeting you in Vegas I know that not only are you an awesome lady, you are probably a REALLY awesome mama too!
81 SandyCarlson October 21, 2009 at 11:29 pm: As a good friend says, "Nobody goes to college in diapers. They catch on."
82 Sera October 22, 2009 at 3:13 am: Finally getting time to come back and comment on your picture. The baby's sleeping, the husband's at karate – such a lovely time of night.

I think all the pictures you've shown from this photo shoot have just been stunning – you have one heck of a photographer.

Was this a candid shot? I love it. I see so much strength in you in this picture. It's such a beautiful shot, and I hope it's somewhere on your wall at home.
83 Steph at Problem Solvin' Mom October 22, 2009 at 3:22 am: I absolutely love that picture, it's fabulous!
84 Kacey R. October 22, 2009 at 3:32 am: Girl, I just posted – better late than never right? You had me thinking on this one sista! ;D
85 Laura October 22, 2009 at 4:10 am: Love your picture. I actually joined in. I love the idea of you adding a prompt as it inspired me to revisit a memory and write about something I hadn't thought about in a while. It made wordful Wednesday a whole new thing. Great idea!
86 Grand Pooba October 22, 2009 at 7:43 pm: Oh my gosh I LOVE that photo!
87 Adventure Mom Janna October 26, 2009 at 1:45 pm: I skipped the opportunity to share a warm and fuzzy photo and gave reality instead -messes!
