Guest bloggin'

As Mother's Day approaches, I've been reflecting a lot about my still-new role in life: Mother. It's a life change that has also put in to perspective my relationship with many other women, including my own mom, my grandmother, my friends, other mommy bloggers and other family members.

Amy Kolz is an amazing writer and photographer who has an incredible line of greeting cards, "Cadence," available at Target. The Mother's Day cards are absolutely fantastic. Amy has a preview of many of them on her blog, and trust me, you'll want to take your time when browsing through them at Target before buying one or five for the special women in your life. (Like you needed an excuse to spend more time and money at Target? I know. But trust me.)

For the last few weeks, Amy has been featuring not only her Mother's Day cards on her blog but also guest posts from people who have a tribute to motherhood or the special moms in their lives to share. 

One of the most emotional experiences I've had recently was giving the eulogy at my grandmother's funeral, but there's a big difference between publicly speaking about a loved one and the written word. Grandma is one of the most amazing women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, and I feel blessed to have had her in my life as long as I did. I put some of my thoughts on my grandmother, especially how I'll remember her and want Elle to know of her, in a blog post that is published on Amy's blog.
