In two days I will officially be the mama of a 15 month old… How did that happen??? It’s so cliche and I say it all the time, but it really does feel like we just brought her home! How has over a year passed?! Time is a weird thing. I recently heard someone describe time and being a mama like this – the days are long but the years are short. I’ve only been doing this mama job for 15 months but I can attest to the truth of that statement!
