Lynwithoutline Welcome! I'm Carolyn. I'm Carolyn.
​
It was a cold Wisconsin day in March when we said "I do" in a small church on a hill.

The kind of day where the snow is melting and the wind hurts your skin, but there was the promise of spring and the promise of spending forever together.
​
We traded our little house near a corn field for sunshine and mountains. I started this blog as a way to simply document our stories.
​
I'm a writer with the desire to capture a moment through words so that we can look back at this journal of the little stories that woven together tell a greater story of who we are and where we've been.

I haven’t opened my heart on here in years. So much has changed but so much as stayed the same. So, here’s a bit of my heart this evening; be gentle with it. 🌿

BECOMING A MOTHER.

“I think that it’s sad when a woman tells me that the most meaningful experience of her life is becoming a mother.”

I do not remember anything else from that college class I took years ago except for that one sentence uttered by a guest speaker. I remember every detail, at least those that matter, from my three babies’ births.

I become a Mother at twenty-two, and after that, two more times again.

I did not like the guest speaker’s statement when I first heard it, but I think that I finally know what I would have liked to ask her.

Meeting my babies earthside for the first time was undeniably joyful. The journey of birth to meet each baby for the first time earth side was more mentally challenging, wild yet peaceful, and freeing than I ever could have imagined.

I’m changed each time. Has she experienced what it’s like to go inward to a place of complete surrender and trust, opening heart, body and soul to meet her baby? And then to emerge back to the world forever changed yet still connected.

Do you know what the first thing I’ve said to each of my babies once we locked eyes for the first time?

“It’s you.”

Because my swollen belly just held them, but now it’s empty and they’re in my arms instead as if I’ve known them my entire life.

filling and emptying.

In the middle of the night, when it’s dark and I can’t see them, my body knows to bend my knees and tuck my chin, pulling them closer, emptying myself to nourish. to comfort.

filling and emptying.

One day the milk stains and midnight feedings will end, but the filling and emptying will not.

I did not know to ask you this then, guest speaker, but I’d like to ask you now: “Is it sad because a woman’s most meaningful experience of her life requires her to be emptied?”

But being a Mother isn’t just looking at your baby and saying, “It’s you.” It’s also looking at my own reflection saying and knowing more confidently than ever before, “It’s me.”

Husband narrates my ad 😂 here’s a man’s perspective on “boxes” aka storage bins. It’s definitly good that we’re more organized now! And sir, those shoes are not dirty, they’re #goldengoose 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was a little skeptical when the package arrived before putting the bins together as I couldn’t imagine the after result of all this storage once put together and I love the clean front to see what’s inside! #organizedhome #husbandandwife #shoegame #organizewithme #home #cleanwithme
