Thanks Anne and juju_mommy.....

I'm humbled.

juju_mommy....It sounds cliche' - but really mindfully enjoy each stage the little ones go through (even the not so wonderful ones!) because it does go by fast.

The good news is that because I knew the time would go fast I imbedded memories (and still wish I'd done more) while they happened on purpose...so now, when I hug on my grown kids, they still *feel* like they did when they were little to me. It's odd, but even my big strappin' son, who is much larger than me, I feel as a 'hip' baby when he hugs me. Smells the same, feels the same and all.

With that imbedded, you also get to grow yourself some of the BEST company you'd ever want to keep! If I met my own kids out in public, I'd wish I could hang out with them!

Parental advice - Don't expect teenagers are doomed to be bad and always be transparent with your kids and you'll love ALL the phases and stages!

Ooooo - rambled sorry! The one thing I love more on this earth than frugal healthy living is my family!! (o:

God HAS greatly Blessed! Thank you!

May He Bless you too!
