If you know my Princess Sunshine, you know she loves to be outside, playing in the sun, and squishing soil between her toes. On the other days, she's gathering pine cones or gifting me with dandelion bouquets. And yet on other days, we're singing songs and baking bread. Who knew mothering a girl could bring such joy? Oh, I've got Boy Joy @Mama Monica, but there's something about a girl!

| Gathering pine cone |
 |
| Planting seeds and singing songs. |
I hope she remembers some of this
when she's old and I'm no longer here:
days spent planting and harvesting,
cooking and baking,
singing and laughing,
drawing and coloring,
sewing and cleaning,
cuddling and reading.
I hope these memories will
be as close to her heart
as they are to mine.
 |
| Making scrambled eggs alone. |
 |
| She must know how to fry dumplins. |
I hope she remembers
how much I love her,
and how much I
look forward to seeing
the woman she'll become-
this big-hearted
Jesus loving,
earth girl,
dancer,
princess,
cook,
decorator,
stylist
artist,
baker,
and gardener.
