5) "All of us are tempted. There is no one that can't be broken down, provided it is the right temptation, put in the right spot" ....I learned this lesson over the past year in trying to lose the baby weight! Geez...it is harder than I thought. Poor Conner gets so tired of healthy food that he loses his self-control too! Hey, he got it honestly!
4) "The only true cure to OCD is to have a baby". To my former roommate Lindsay, please note that the pantry is no longer organized with boxes facing out by label nor are the items in ABC order!!!
Yep, I even learned to let him get dirty! What is the fun in having table manners anyway?
3) When you have a child, you finally realize that it is true, your husband will always be a little boy at heart and he will never "grow up"! On this point, I have also realized over the past year that I am very lucky to have Jason as a husand. He is a great husband and a great father and I love watching him with Conner. As you can imagine, they are quite the pair!
2) "Life is a great big maze and God gives you all of the keys you need to find your way around. However, He put the keys to motherhood within the special women in your life."
P.S. Notice that I said "special" women...I have to laugh at all of the unsolicited advice I have received from pure strangers! Oh well, at least I got through all of the tears and can laugh about it now!
1) The hardest lesson I have learned this year...."Working and Stay-at-home are adjectives that describe a mom, in no way do they define her"
I still struggle with this one every day and I think every woman will for eternity. Balance in general is hard, but especially when it comes to the greatest love in your life. Some day, maybe I will have an answer. Until then, I am thankful for an amazing day care situation and for the understanding place where I work which is full of wonderful mentors. Without both, I don't know what I would do!

So true so true Kristin! I laughed out loud about your pantry, not only do I remember it but my whole kitchen has gone down hill as well! And the part about work, having tried all three methods I can definately agree that the grass is always greener! Happy Belated Birthday! Amy
Well said Kristin! Happy belated birthday, too!
