I'm doing 21 things
I had a Mom’s group knitting sit and stitch last night and my Mom came to join. While it was a small group, it was lovely and intimate and I got to see my Mom in her true glory. She amazes me and I am so glad to be back in Maryland close to her and my Dad.

How I did it
It made me
elated! 
How I did it: I stopped smoking 6 months before getting pregnant, not a drink of caffiene nor alcohol, no smokes and perfect eating throughout....he is AMAZING! Every good choice lead to another good choice and so on and so on and so on. Seeing the ultrasound pictures and hearing his heartbeat was my biggest motivation...along with knowing my husband wanted this as much as I did. Very powerful! Read how I did it…

I am so thrilled to have my boy Xander…he is now 27+ months and is AMAZING. He continues t omake me a better woman, wife, mother, friend every day. Thank you Xander!
I was stuck at work today, conferences over at 4:40 but there till 7 none the less, so I decided to start a gripe list where I could get my anger out in a relatively positive fashion. I started the list, then read it over, realizing many of my gripes were actually things I may be able to control to a degree. So, my new goal is to continue to get those gripes out so I don’t go mad…and to look at them honestly to see what I can do to check those gripes off my list for good…make sense?
