I saw this here and here and loved it. This is my list of 22 things I've learned from motherhood. If you do this tell me I want to see your list!
1. Don't sweat the small stuff, if you do you will sweat a lot
2. There is a period of time when you should hide crayons, sharpie markers and butter knives. You never know where or what they will be used for.
3. When something gets destroyed, or just needs to be fixed, you might get teary when it is repaired or replaced.
4. Read. A Lot. Out loud. Over & Over
5. Cranky kids? Just add water. Tub. Swimming Pool. Hose.
6. Stop for ice cream
7. Hold the babies
8. Say yes as much as you can
9. Kids want to be heard, hear them. Be present.
10. Try not to be in a hurry
11. Eat dinner together
12. If you want something to happen, plan.
13. I'm not as patient as I thought I was
14. Dirt is fun
15. Cowboy boots are necessary
16. Bedtime is mandatory except when its not.
17. Bandaids cure headaches
18. All you need is a holdy
19. If its gross, its hilarious
20. Its ok to cry it out
21. play, play and play some more
22. I feel like i can do things that I technically may be too old to do. But I feel like I can because I have the kids with me.

Oh your little girl is not a baby anymore!!! Such a cute family.
I'm impressed! Way cute post...maybe I'll try to do this...but not now...I should be sleeping so I can run with you tomorrow!
That's adorable. And the picture, too. Wish our boys and baby girls could play together!!!
First of all, two posts. WOW. Second of all, I love this idea. I especially loved what you said. That is all good advice and I will most definitely be using it in my journey of motherhood.
Now on a serious note, you can tell you are an incredible mom because you have incredible kids. It's a true reflection, and in my opinion, you're mastering it. (bri's not so bad himself)
With that said, I want/NEED to see a picture of the cow from Magna.
Thanks for the phone calls and concern. I'm healing slowly, but nicely.
LOVE LOVE.
Shout out to the LONGEST comment ever. It's the way I roll.
