Isn’t it funny how quickly life changes? In my pre mommy days, I used to love to sit down with a cup of Earl Grey (mine’s one sugar and an inch of milk please!) and read my monthly In Style, People, Glamour, Vogue, Domino & Real Simple cover to cover. First came love, then came marriage, then came Dillon in a baby carriage and now my old reads have been replaced with Parents, Family Circle, Shape & Health. Books that could be found on my nightstand used to be about Tudor England, by Nick Hornby or Helen Fielding. Now books such as “How to Make Your child Mind Without Losing Yours”, “Baby 411” and the “Girlfriends Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood” can be found collecting dust next to my bed. I attempt to read, but before I can even place the bookmark on the next page, my eyes are closed. My books are like sleeping pills. The good news is that my new reading materials (when I can stay awake to read them) are proving to be just as enlightening as my old…it’s just that the fashion & makeup tips are replaced with sleeping, behavior & childproofing tips. Has your life changed? For better or for worse, what are the things that make life different for you now?
