- Buy stock in companies that produce bandaids.
- For girls, never buy a dress without first considering the "twirl factor"
- For boys, don't worry if the only word he knows is vroom. Before you know it, his vocabulary will expand from engine sounds to include body noises.
- Keep your sense of humor. What upsets you now will be good joke (or blog) material in five years.
- When your child wants to wear the same outfit two months in a row; let him. Eventually it will rot and fall off.
- In all situations, apply the "Thousand Year Test." Ask yourself, "In a thousand years will anyone care?"
- Don't be too hard on yourself. You will fail. Forgive yourself and move on.
- Above all, love "because love covers a multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)
Thank you Lord for allowing me to be a Mom to the five gifts you have entrusted me with. They are all each unique and fearfully and wonderfully made. I stand in awe that I am called Mom. It is a wonderful gift!

happy Mothers Day Chris
I loved this!! I loved number 5- I have indeed waited for clothes to rot and fall off. And they have. :)
Number 6 is so important, too. I've even shortened it to 5 years and it has put so much in perspective.
Happy Mother's Day to one of the best moms I know!
Great list, Chris. I must say, our most important feature to look for in any dress is the 'twirl factor' :) So important!
