Welcome to mommyhood!

I can't begin to describe the ways in which I've grown over these past 5 months with my baby boy. God has done some serious work-not just in my "mommy" life but in my heart. Here are my top ten nuggets of wisdom I'm learning day by day: 

-Your opinion about things will change more than you can count, so watch that know it all attitude or you will be sure to be humbled. 

-There is no wrong or right in parenting-only different kids, different families, and different situations. 

-You will inevitably always think your child is the best-the cutest, the smartest, the all around greatest kid of all. Its easy to stay focused on just your little world, but remember how great it feels to celebrate others too. 

-Life is celebrated by the small things-every new experience is beyond exciting and more special than the last. 

-A smile can change a mood in an instant.

-Life callings can and will change with each new stage of life. Be open and embrace each new path life takes you.

-You will never make everyone happy. Sometimes being selfish is your healthiest option. 

-Asking for help doesn't mean admitting weakness, in fact, it takes courage. 

-Draw close to those who love you, embrace those who embrace you, and accept that friendships come in seasons. Be thankful for memories but accept that people change and that's ok.

-Nothing or no one can make you feel whole. This is a journey you must find within yourself and it will be the most fulfilling of them all.
