You learn and grow with your child. There are some things books cannot teach you. Your child will teach you as you go.

It's okay to ask for help. It takes a village to raise a child. Trying to be supermom will burn you out quickly.

Time spent with your kids create memories that will last forever. Housework will always be there.

Get to know your children personally. Know that they can teach you as much as you can teach them. You are learning together.

There's nothing like hearing pure laughter from your own kids. It's so contagious that you start laughing even when you don't want to.

The not-so-fun side of parenting is tough but we must raise functional, thinking, future adults. The reward will be great later on.
