This was Great! What a great idea to post a list. Very original! I hear ya on the laundry thing. Wow three kids can make a ton of dirty clothes! LOL!
A lovely synopsis! I’m gonna do this too, I think.
Hugs -
Wonderful it is.
I think I will copy you on my list blog – that’s flattery, you know
This is great! It’s so hard to choose, but I think my favorite was “realizing you didn’t need what you thought you did.”
Thanks so much for participating once again!
Yep, that just about sums it up! A really cute picture, too!!

I love ‘redefining time and achievement’.
Yes! Yes! New eyes. New mind. New ears. New nose. New touch. Amazing, isn’t it? Thanks. These posts are definitely, definitely what I needed today, this week (and this month).
Yes! I’ve given up my name for “Papaya Mom” so I of course get you on that!!!
I like this list!
I totally agree.
Yes, it’s being known forevermore as “so and so’s mom”. Very true.
cultivating patience is number 1 for me lately!!!!
Love your list and your little boy is adorable
Hello, Great post. I love the list so true. Come visit me. This is so fun Jordan is going to be so happy there were so few of us entered last time.
You are right – especially the laundry part!

I love the first one. That is one of my favorite parts of being a mom. I don’t mind giving up my name one bit.
The redefining achievement thing…..yep.
that’s all I can say about that one.
yep, yep, yep.
Oh yes… I climb “Mt. Washmore” every day at my house. The laundry room is my other room. LOL
Love your blog page…. it’s just like mine (wink).
I loved reading your list, and your son is just adorable!

Great post! I especially loved…
“realizing you didn’t need what you thought you did”
I find that I am continuously re-defining what constitutes a ‘need’. : )
Yep. You nailed it.
‘exchanging your own name for “[your child’s name]’s Mommy” ‘ I just introduced to someone as my son’s mommy the other day. I loved it. He deserves to be the star and I certainly don’t mind being part of his show.
I love this list. So right on!
Oh, and cute picture!
