Meet Your Maker

Hello! I'm Miranda. I'm an artist and homeschooling parent. I write here about a range of topics–health, art, culture, education–with a focus on family life. I live in rural Maryland with my husband and four children.

Greta turned 4 years old today. She spent the day at the swimming hole with a bunch of people who love her.
I’ve dreamed of being and doing many things in my 34 years. I’ve dreamed of creating work that’s truly beautiful, and really contributes, and is remembered. I’ve dreamed of being admired and applauded. I’ve dreamed of being a great artist, a great designer, a great writer. These ideas have at times seemed possible. Maybe one day? But when it comes to mothering, my dreams have never been so lofty. To be great seems to be so obviously beyond my grasp. Please, just let me be decent. Just let them always know that I really, really tried. Let them understand that while I am limited in so many ways, my love for them is not. I do not regret the unpainted paintings, the unwritten books, or the unrealized glory. Every other dream falls away before the ever humbling task of being an okay Mother.
Organizing the girls’ room and found this from a couple years ago. Not a bad list. 💗
