While searching for quotes on conscious parenting this evening, I came across Katie Berggren’s blog and Etsy store. Kim is an artist who paints wonderful pictures of mothers and children having special, intimate moments. Her art takes me back to those sweet times with my children as babies, and they are wonderful reminders of the love we share today.

I also enjoyed reading Katie’s blog about parenting and her reflections on being a mother. I am inspired by women who take time to wonder deeply about their journey and express themselves through their words and art.

Katie’s description of a picture called Tender Affection:

At times I wonder, as I’m sure every mother does, if I’m too attached, too comforting, too giving when my kids are needy. Even though (there) are times I stop giving because I know it is best, in general, I feel painfully attached to my boys.

…but, I’ve got a two year old who spontaneously feeds me his crackers while I’m pushing him in the stroller – I’ve got a four year old that gives me half of his last bite of apple pie. I’ve got little boys who cry when I’m sad, and tell me I’m beautiful…

Indeed, it often seems to be them who are reminding me to parent from my heart.

Our children do indeed remind us to parent from the heart. Much gratitude for Katie’s sacred expressions.
