This was a wonderful read . I just started writing about female friendships last week as my 5yr old has started navigating her own at school it brings back memories of how it all starts. Thanks for this series. I look forward to reading the next one . Enjoy those baby snuggles
Congratulations!!!💜 such a funny time to stumble on your essay as I’m a new mom and exploring friendship with other moms has been exciting and has felt like it takes more work and planning than it used to. I loved reading this :)
So glad to hear! There are another couple of beautiful essays coming about friendship in the season of motherhood. Hope these words encourage you as you work it out. It is harder, but definitely worth investing in! 💛
I look forward to reading it Megan! I’m so excited for this guest series as all the essays are about female friendship (it’s one of my favourite topics too haha)
What a beautiful essay. Some friendships happen like a spark and some take work... It's so true! I've got some life long friends from my childhood that have stuck by me forever and others that started because we are mothers in the same church. It took a while to reach the level of intimacy im used to with my childhood friends. But they are also so good for me and encouraging 💛 friends are so important!
What a great series idea, Bec! I loved this piece. Thank you, Lorren, for your honesty.
Thanks Laura! 💛💛

So happy for your new arrival, Bec!! Welcome to the world, Thomas!!
I loved this essay, too. I can definitely relate—friendships these days are a challenge to navigate, and military moves make it all so much harder.
Thanks Joy!!
