I really need to try though because I always enjoy your posts and LOVE the photos. You honestly have the most beautiful children! These days I tend to read blogs in "batches" and usually have a lot of catching up to do. But really, I think that independent women (like you, me and many of your readers) feel the same sense Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2514215561878490512.post-18794051197373401052013-01-21T16:43:38.090-05:002013-01-21T16:43:38.090-05:00Try to remember that it feels good to help others....Try to remember that it feels good to help others.

I love cooking so it was no trouble :) I remember how tough it was to just eat during those early days (let alone cook for myself!). <br /><br />On the other hand, I can 100% relate to how you're feeling re: accepting help. I'll never forget receiving a stern lecture from my midwife when the girls were about a week old.
