I am rarely lost for words, but in this description I am. I think it’s because I really view my motherhood experience with a new set of eyes each week (the benefits of therapy I guess). I was a young mom the first time around - pregnant at 21 and gave birth at 22 - we had our second just three weeks after our first turned 3 (I 25 if you’re keeping track). Then at 27 I was surprised to learn I was pregnant for the last time. We had been on the fence about another baby and my primary thought about having more children was that we needed to be done before I was 30. Any who, short story long these are my recs as a mom who feels like they’ve been a totally different parent with each new baby.

I’ll be giving recs for all my faves, and be sure catch all the tea that I dropping about each item.
