What I have learned about being a mom...

-to have eyes in the back of my head
-know every sound of the house
-to catch a liar, set traps
-to know that my kids may not like me now, but they'll thank me later
-make even the littlest moments special

-go on adventures with my kids, {like removing a picnic table from a raging river or go opossum hunting with a bebe gun}

-eat dinner as a family (with NO TV)
-the dishes can wait, sit and spend time with your kids…laugh with them, listen to them and talk with them
-spending time with family is more important than "going out"

-no matter how weird your kid dresses, just go with it…and know it's just a phase.
-clean ears are something I will check on a daily basis
-hire your kids, no mater how bad they are at the job (just give them the minimum hours)
-and most importantly:  no matter how old my kids get, I will always worry, always lose sleep, always want to keep them safe
