Literally and figuratively; give them the space they need. Especially now that my older one is going to be a big 2nd grader!! LOL. That picture was last summer when they were 3 and 6, so yes, little hands. But the plumeria blossoms there are amazing! I am a tropical floral lover, but there is something so captivating about plumeria/frangipani. Of all places, I read a fantastic article about plumeria in the Hawaiian Airlines Magazine that I highly recommend. It's really informative and interesting!! http://www.hanahou.com/pages/magazine.asp?MagazineID=43&Action=DrawArticle&ArticleID=691&Page=1 Ayala,

It will have to be indoors here, but I know it can be done. Just takes time...and might have to wait until my boys are a little older :-) Happy Mother's Day to you and your kids as well! ~T E,

I love frangipani too. Ah, there are so many fragrant flowers I love... But unfortunately frangipanni absolute smells nothing like the real living flower... These flowers look gigantic though - is plumeria in Hawaii so large? (or it must mean that your sons are very young...). I can so relate to your interactions with your sons, because of my 4 wild brothers. They will always fall asleep on me in the car and were so cute even though they sweat all over my shoulder... And I liked holding their little grimy hands (they played outside a LOT). I sometimes wonder if we're not overwhelming out little kids with wanting to be close to them... P.s. I wasn't yet into wearing that much perfume when I was pregnant, but I don't remember "good smells" bother me. I was, however, very sensitive to strong body odours of strangers on the bus, that was very unbearable (think sweaty men on the bus in Tel Aviv). I had to turn my head the other way to avoid the odour. Trish,

And how brave of you to go through more than one while being a midwife. (It would be crazy for me!) And of course I like that you point out that searching and finding out the smellies in the world is much more than just perfume and plumerias feature so strongly in your household! (and what a wonderful blossom too!) Happy Mother's day to you and your kids :-)) Trish,

Happy Mother's Day to you too. What scent will you be wearing? :-) Hugs, T Thanks Roxana,

As usual, I seem to have taken a totally different perspective on "Mothers and Kids, and the Scents That Bind Us." Gosh, I've got an entire part two now to write about as I ruminate over my pregnancy and years with Eve. The intention that you hold with your boys is so lovely and I am sure that they will be very conscious of the olfactory horizon that lies before them. Beautiful! Happy Mother's Day my dear, Roxana Trish,

Beth's post still moves me when I read it, and I hope my readers take the time to pop over and see why I referenced it. Thanks so much for coming over and I hope you have a lovely Mother's Day! Hugs, T SS,
