I'm so glad you did this Kara! I loved hearing these things about your life. You're so funny, I'm glad life has been sweet, although sometimes a blur. :) I feel my life is a blur most of the time and think what am I doing having baby #4? You're an amazing mother and I want to be more like you, you always seem happy and calm and like you are loving being a mom. I'm grateful for your good example!
