Threenager Behaviour: Happy Birthday, Hudson!

Time is, by far, the strangest concept for me. On one hand, I feel like it was just yesterday that Hudson lived inside of me, sending shock waves of kicks and hiccups in my abdomen. On the other hand, I feel like I have known him my eyntire life. In fact, I tell many people close to me that I pity the pre-Hudson person I once was. What motivated me? What inspired me? What did I do with all of my time? How empty my heart must have been. I had no idea how much room I had in it to welcome such a being. He truly is my life and soul.

Emotional Attachment to Your Little Ones' Clothing

Emotional Attachment to Your Little Ones' Clothing

Your kids, they grow SO fast. I honestly didn't believe how fast this occurs until I had my own son and realized that they literally grow up right before your eyes. As sad as this is alone, we then have to deal with the clothing that they outgrow. This part is SO difficult for me. I despise clutter, so I am always throwing things out, cleaning and creating space, however when it comes to doing this with Hudson's clothing and belongings,  I get really, really emotional.
