Found this on Stacy Julian's blog via Amy Krouse-Rosenthal's blog...
List 22 things you have learned as a mother. Stacy, of course, put her own twist on it...write the list without reading one that's already been written.
So, I actually haven't read Stacy's yet. I came straight over to the blog to write my list. And then I'm going back to look at hers (and Amy's). K...here we go!
