I've been a mom for 2 years and 5 months.
That is definitely not long enough to be giving any advice on the subject of motherhood, but in my short time as a mom I have learned a thing or two.
You get used to getting peed on, spit up on, the smell of poo, and having all of the above touch your hands
Disney Junior is my friend
My shirt will no longer ever be clean. It is okay to have snot, spit up, food, and remnants from dirty hands all over it.
It's okay to feel like nap time is the best time of day
Medicine is my friend...and my kids' friend
Sunday is no longer a day of rest. Fighting my 2 year old through Sacrament often results in a harder workout than gym time
Days when I don't have to go anywhere are AWESOME.
I can get more enjoyment from watching a Disney movie in the middle of the day with my two little girls than I ever thought possible
My kid's outfits don't always have to match
Sometimes, Chicken Nuggets are a great lunch
Every child has their own sleep schedule to develop
Mother's intuition is REAL
Functioning on very little sleep is a part of every day life
It's okay not to shower some days
A runny nose won't EVER ruin a kiss from my kids
A diaper bag can never have enough toys or snacks in it
Playing at the park makes everyone happy
What have YOU learned?

that some days nothing gets done, not dishes, laundry... and that's ok.
Wow I am so glad to hear that I am not alone on the exact same things!! Thanks for the post it helped me to remember YES I am a normal Mom!!
We have learned that it is okay to have pancakes for every meal...that no matter how late the kids go to bed they still get up before the sun...and no matter how much they drive me crazy I can't imagine my life without them!!
Ditto your list.
I've also learned that there is nothing better than spontaneous hugs from my kids. I got several tonight before bedtime. I hope you did too.
I've learned that they grow up way too fast! And that each baby you have grows faster than the last! You have to take time to enjoy them!
so cute! i love it!!
It's so cool that you have learned these things!
I have just learned that you're a better Mom than I am :) I don't like snotty kisses. Also, do you want Nora? She's on sale today.
