with all the lovely gifts that I have been receiving, my daughter Sophie asked me ages ago, if I could ask my friends to send her something. well, no I can't Sophie, it is not good manners to ask people to send you a gift.
My daughter Sophie, my youngest, a child of my heart, the girl who worries me constantly, a gorgeous girl but so naive. So ditzy at times.
She gets sad sometimes as 17 year old girls do and last week I ordered a comfort package from Colette. comfort package
It was plopped on my doorstep today ~ just before Sophie arrived home from flute lesson, just before Valentines day and just as her wicked 'time of the month' arrived.... thankyou Colette..... it made her feel special. the package was full of special little things, all surrounded with gorgeous cerise flowers and two pieces of art by Colette, which are hanging right now on her mirror...
ya know, I realised today, that I just have to grin and bear this girl of mine right now, I have sown the seeds as I did with my other two & I have to trust the universe that everything is as it should be. All I have to do is love her and she will be ok. She will come out the other side of these teen years, ok. She will be a strong, wise woman. lord help me get through it.

Oh Robyn....your Sophie is a perfect beauty. Yes...she will come through her teens and become a wise strong woman like her Mother....you are too you know! Wonderful gifts Colette sent.
Sophie looks just like you! She's beautiful. What a wonderful package to arrive for her and a just the right time. You will both survive and one day look back and laugh over the teen years. Molly and I do from time to time.
Sophie certainly has inherited your beauty!
What a lovely thing to do for her - surprising her with one of Colette's beautiful comfort packages.
I know those last bits of teenage years will be behind you, before you know it and yes, she will be a strong wise woman, just like her Mom!
Hi miss*R
I can't imagine having offspring. I know that the teen years are terrible, both for the teen and for the mom. A friend told her daughter, "That's fine that you are treating me this way, I'll get back at you when menopause comes." Kind of mean, but sort of true.
She is lucky to have such a magical mom. She will come to cherish you, as I did my mom.
I really like the package. You have such an eye for color and texture.
Sophie is beautiful, inside and out. She is yours, how can she be anything else..!
These years are tough..ask Blue..!
We are best friends and Oh, so close now, but 20 years ago..uhuh!
We always loved each other, but I can't say we always liked each other or saw eye to eye.
We are also very alike (not in looks), and that is a big part of the problem.
Hang in there, all will be well, it just takes time.
Hugs

Well, good looks definitely runs in the family Miss R. She looks a lot like you. What a sweet idea, the comfort box. I'm going to have to check that out. Annie
Your daughter is so beautiful! And she looks a lot like her beautiful mom! Glad the comfort package made her so happy. Daughters need lots of TLC sometimes. And you'll both get through all this! xo
Sophie is such a lovely girl.
How nice of you mom to order such a fun package. I think that was just the thing to make her feel better.
Hugs,
Connie
That was a lovely gesture to order one of Colette's Comfort Packages for Sophie - you are a devoted mother. She is as beautiful as you are...so I am sure she has your internal beauty as well. My mom and I had real 'moments' when I was a teen - I think it's part of the whole process...but it does change. I am sure you made her day!
I had one of Colette's pkgs sent to someone - they really do create an uplift and COMFORT. It was such a great idea she had.

What Mum said.
Sophie is Gorgeous!
So are you!!!
xoxo
Give it time...
Oh I think Miss Sophie will turn out just fine. She is gorgeous.
Oh, I am so HAPPY! The lavender sachet I made obviously didn't get confiscated!!!!
Sophie is absolutely beautiful! (She looks so much like you.) She will be just fine, I can see it in her eyes. These are just normal times we all go through.
Kisses to your lovely girl, adn to you!
Hi Robyn :) Your Sophie is so gorgeous! And what a wonderful thing you did, sending her the Comfort package! Check out my recent posts and you will see we are sharing both this teenage torment & being spoiled in the mail lately! It's not easy, but I only have the one child, so guess I am fortunate in that respect.. it's a strange old time, when both Mother & teenager have raging hormones! ;)
I'll be thinking of you both, and am sending my love xXx Have a beautiful day :)
Suze xXx
What beautiful things your received.
As a fellow mother to a 17 yrold, I hear ya! but I can remember being 17 and feeling so confused, why should our daughters be any different? its all part of the journey, and Gosh! doesnt she look so much like you!
Your buddy is back Robyn,I'm back to make you laugh with my wickedness hee hee and to keep you jolly. Just read all of your postings I have missed. Time I was back I think. Your Sophie will be a wonderful adult after the troublesome years, you know they usually make good these kids of ours. About your garden, I think everyone gardens as some relation did in the past, I always seem to imitate my grandfather and great grandfather.
You're a sweet mom. I did so much better with toddlers than I have with a teenaged daughter! Maybe I'll come to you for advice.
Comfort parcels what a fab idea!
Your daughter is so beautiful!
Miss R, the comfort package is SUCH an awesome idea!!!! I think I will keep that website handy for when my friends are down & I'm too far away to encourage them.
