The Years Are Short.

September 9, 2013 by Jen 7 Comments

The days are long but the years are short. These are the very wise words passed along to me years ago by an experienced mom in the midst of my post-partum sleepless nights and endless crying jags (mine and baby's).

It's only a couple more weeks away and I am running into moms with the look of fear in their eyes. Okay, maybe a little exaggerated but you know what I mean.
