She’s right. It was too good not to share! It had me tearing up…

Not that it’s that difficult. Ever since becoming a mom, I always feel like I’m on the razor edge of tears. Hormones, perhaps? I think it has to do with dealing with intense feelings day to day- both mine and the kids’…

If you could go back to right before you had your first child, what would you tell yourself?

    I think I would tell myself to prepare to hear things you never thought you would hear lol. Kids come up with some really off the wall stuff. Oh and to expect lots and lots of headaches.
