Learning as I go.

I Just can't get enough of those 2 faces!!!

I have been a mom for 3 1/2 years now. I am not going to pretend that I know what I am doing by now. Because I don't. I have however come to some realizations.

1-It's ok to take care of yourself first sometimes. If you have to go to the bathroom, it's alright to let the baby cry for 1 min or maybe 2. She won't die from crying.

2- 10 second rule can sometimes even turn into a 30 second rule.

3- Cleaning the house before Bella goes to bed is like shoveling the driveway before it stops snowing.

4- Play Hide N' Seek with your kids, especially when you need 5 mins to yourself.

5- I think Emma loves to pee when you take off her diaper just so she can have 3 baths a day. (Just more of a warning if you ever watch her)

6- It's ok to look like an idiot in the car if your kid wants you to sing. If she says sing, you better sing!

7- I am very spoiled. I have 2 really easy, happy kids.

8- My new theory on housework is, if the item doesn't multiply, smell, catch fire, or block the refrigerator door, let it be.

9- It's true, You do love the 2ND kid just as much as the first. I was so worried. I didn't think I was capable of ever loving something as much as I love Bella.

10- Having 2 is twice as nice. Seeing how much Bella loves her little sis is the best; and seeing how much little Emma's face lights up when she looks at her sister's eyes. She gets a big toothless smile and it is heart-melting. It won't last, of course. But for now it's all hugs and kisses, and that's what life is all about.
