Motherhood should come with...

A warning about how your heart will never be the same
The knowledge that you will grow much more than they
A way to s l o w time
A superhuman ability to fore go sleep, food and time for yourself...oh wait it already does :)
Roller skates
Really good mama friends

    Yeah for joining in! I was late, too, and just posted mine. :) I like the idea of motherhood coming with rollerskates, and the ability to slow time is definitely a must. :) Your post you wrote this morning about Mother's Day was beautiful, too.

My Father's Daughter

My Father's daughter... this title...if you've read at all you know what Father I am speaking of.
