There is deep truth to the emotional journey a woman experiences soon after she becomes a Mother. This looks different for all of us but one thing holds true. We have a deep down immediate desire to be a protector and to fulfill our child's needs for safety and security. This kind of love is hard to place into words, but our children have a unique way of showing their "thanks". It may be seen in the way they only look at us, or a happy gaze they place by the sound of mom's voice, or it could be even be by the way they follow us around all day long seeking closeness. Their need for connection is strong and very much seen in the first year of a child's life.
Michelle, a lovely mom to two adorable babes brought her youngest Isabelle and shares her motherhood journey in this feature. She touches on so much in her response. I admire her reflection on how you truly are never prepared yet somehow you would never change it.
You can paint the nursery, put furniture together, have clothes washed and ready to be worn, read a million pregnancy books- but none of this will prepare you for what it will mean to become a mother.

Dear Penn,
My camera was of great interest to you. You followed me curiously around the room and allowed me to really get to know your personality. Thank you! As my goal always is to echo back just who you were when you were little. These photos are just as important to you as they are to your parents. Do know, much love and joy echoed in your first home. I am honoured to have witnessed it!
