15 Down, 35 To Go

As I enter this 15th week of pregnancy... I wonder, will it really be my last? I think so. But in my heart of hearts, I just don't know for sure.

My children are my heart. I love my husband with every ounce of my soul. However, my children are so precious and innocent... for now... I just can't imagine not being a mom. More specifically, a mom of a baby, or small child. Are they a lot of work,? Yes, most certainly! But the reward far outweighs the burden.

Please don't buy my kids plastic

I'm thinking about what to buy for my daughter's new room. She absolutely loves to make parties, picnics, and any kind of activity that centers around food. When she turned one, she received a plastic kitchen set from her father and I, along with hundreds of pieces of plastic food. Through the years, I've purchased some wooden food, which has held up much better and lasted through the biting, stepping on, etc. I vow to get rid of all that plastic food junk and replace it with less, sturdier wooden ones.

So, the next time you're considering what to buy Grace for a Birthday or Christmas, think twice if it's small and plastic. Chances are, it'll get lost or destroyed!
