Things I Would Never Expect Before I Had Children
March 10, 2015Written by Marykate O’Malley, mother of three wonderful children, Gladwyne PA
- How much peanut butter I would go through
- And bread
- And Stonyfield smoothies
- That I would drive a minivan. And like it.
- How challenging self care would be
- How my concept of time would completely shift
- How important branding is – we can’t even consider Earth’s Best Organic. (Sesame Street characters. You know, for babies.)
Healthy yummy. Tip – Trader Joe’s has a version at Trader Joe’s prices!
- How becoming a parent changes everything
- How much you learn from your children about attitude, and acceptance, and grace
- How fast it would go and how much I wish I could slow it down
- How at the end of every season, when I sort through clothes, I feel a mix of sadness and gratitude
- How being a parent makes you a better person because you want to be that person for them
- How much fun it is. And how much we laugh together.
- How great Disney movies are. (I personally cannot wait to see Cinderella. Yes, I still like princesses.)
- How awesome Dance Wii is
- How daylight savings rocks our world
- And how the depth of gratitude you feel for these beings you have been graced with in your life, is beyond all comprehension, beyond all words.
What are yours?!
