Flowers

Happy Birthday! And happy birth day to you, Tamara xxoo – Crystal

Every time one of my daughters has a birthday, I buy myself flowers.

Because I am proud of myself and who I’ve become. Because my life changed dramatically when I became a mother and when I became a mother again. Because I have grown as a person while I’ve watched these little persons grow.

Such life-altering events demand to be acknowledged. Even if it’s just with flowers. That I bought for myself.

Happy Birthday to my sweet little Pixie. Happy Birth Day to me.

  1. i was thinking of you yesterday. :)

    • I drove past your clinic on my daughter’s birthday and I was thinking about how strange it is that we never forget the midwives that attended our children’s births – yet it must be impossible for our midwives to remember all the births that they attend. I’m so touched that you thought of us, really I am. Thank you!

  2. I like this. A lot. Beautiful idea!

    • Thank you Rachel – and thank you for sharing it at This Sisterhood too! That made my day!

  3. Hello Tamara, Many many happy returns of the day both of you! Your imagination was absolutely perfect.
