TIME. It’s a valuable commodity. Sometimes.. It’s something we wish we could get back. It’s something we wish we could freeze. It’s something we wish we could have more of. Being a new mom, my days often seem to run together. No matter how well I prioritize, my to-do list feels as if it multiplies. Cross off one item and add two more.

the hardest things and the right things are the same…..as The Fray song goes. But, I believe it’s true. Change isn’t easy. At least for me it never has been.

My life over the last 39 weeks involved just about every emotion….the whole gamut, from extreme joy to worry and stress.

Regardless of any trial you experience (fatigue, {Read More}
