Five years ago, I gave birth to our youngest- and final- child. Fifteen months before that was our first. Those two things I would not change for the world. What I would have done differently is not give in to so many cravings for rich, fudgy, warm fresh from the oven brownies. I think the last eight or so boxes are still on my hips. I also wish that I had worried less and done more- more simple things like extra time reading to the kids, extra time sitting outside with them, watching them play in the sunshine. Combine those two things- eating less of the brownies and moving around with the kids more- and I might be a stronger person today. At least there is nothing saying those things can not be changed now, right? Right!
