year old soon, and things are defi nitely get- ting easier with time.
I’m speaking for myself, of course. One of our good friends is currently expecting trip- lets! My husband and I occasionally think to ourselves, how in the world would we man- age that? It’s three mouths to feed, diapers to change in triplicate, three times the laundry to scrub, three car seats to lug around – do they even make baby strollers for triple the fun? It’s hard to imagine the new mom emo- tions, stress, and “To Do” list multiplied by three. Still, as parents, you do anything that is required of you to ensure your children have all that they need, and a great life to boot. Triplets will be so much fun and com- pletely adorable. We are so excited for our friend’s rapidly growing family, and admit- tedly, a little relieved to have just one-third of the feedings, diaper changes, and respon- sibilities to handle at the moment.
When I was born, my mom was younger than I am now. In my early childhood, my maternal grandmother watched me a lot of the time so my mom could work to make ends meet. I had a great time playing with my grandmother and we grew very close. I look back at all that my mom went through to give us a good life, and I am so thank- ful for all that she did – yet I’m also a bit sad that she ever had to sacrifi ce anything for me. Like her soaps so I could watch Inspector Gadget or her Sunday paper so I could have a Tootsie Pop. She taught me a lot of great things that I hope to share with my little girl (like working hard in life, shar- ing, patience…), not to mention traditions to carry on, and other life lessons that mean the most coming from one’s mom.
As my second Mother’s Day approaches, I am reminded of so many things to be thank- ful for in life – from the wisdom and close relationships I share with my mom, grand- mother, stepmom, and mother-in-law, to my wonderful little family and our other relatives and friends. I am blessed with an amazing husband who makes my dreams come true and a precious daughter as cute as can be, whose smile and laughter light up my world, and of course, our smart and lov- ing border collie, who is a great “big sister” to our baby daughter. And, whether chasing a dream or taking a leap of faith, I recently left my full-time job to raise my daughter and continue my writing and marketing en- deavors. I guess the same theme runs strong
