ReplyDeleteOver from the workshop..
awwwwwww that was SOOOO SWEET, & so true!!! ♥
ReplyDeleteToo true! I never knew I would care about the bathroom habits of another person so much. And they never tell you you will be picking the nose of your child, then telling them not to pick it.
ReplyDeleteVery sweet and true!
ReplyDeleteSo funny how 7am now feels like sleeping in.
Oh that is so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI used to go to bed at the time I now find myself getting up in the morning - how life has changed!
ReplyDeleteI so feel you on the being so completely and totally in love with someone! It's an amazing feeling!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
This is really beautiful! I've read something similar, but have always had trouble coming up with my own list. Can I use yours? LOL Very nice post!!
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I agree with the aching just watching my children struggle. It is so hard being a mom in that respect. I can see what they need to do, but they just don't get it and they suffer because of their lack of understanding. That one is SO hard!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so true!
ReplyDeleteThe day we go into labor...all modesty goes RIGHT out the window!! SO true.
ReplyDeleteTylaine! I miss you girl!
ReplyDeleteThis is the best post. All so true. :)
