Maybe we know each other better than we think we do… You can find the rest of this post at Simple As That.
I can imagine you, doing all the same things I’m doing.
Pushing the grocery cart with one hand because that crafty baby keeps escaping the flimsy seatbelt.
Texting with friends in the middle of the night because you’re all up with little ones, so why not?
Squeezing into dressup clothes because toddlers don’t like to play alone.
Watching your child smash play dough between chubby fingers and trying so hard to memorize that face.
You. The biggest flirt on my dorm floor. The so-called tomboy from elementary school. The tireless museum-goer from study abroad.
I didn’t really know you when we were young. (We barely knew ourselves.)
But now we’re moms.

Oh so true. Beautiful post, Erica.
I would so love to meet up with you and our gaggle of kids at the park, but am so grateful to have gotten to know you through writing. This is such a beautiful post and you make the great point that no matter where we may live, whether it’s MA or CA or somewhere in between, we are connected by motherhood and distance can’t break that.
Just perfect. I like feeling united. 🙂
I find myself thinking these same things as I scroll through the cute kid pics on social media. One of the most surprising things about motherhood is how connected I feel to other woman. Whether woman I actually know or only know online or even strangers I see in the grocery store. Like a not so secret club where we all know each other.
I agree – it is one of the biggest perks I never saw coming!
