My daughter, as smart as she is, sometimes says the craziest things. This is a collection of actual quotes that came directly from her. You can't make this stuff up. I blame it on her hair.

My life is one long adventure, and I've got many stories to tell. I remember most of the big events and moments but some of the everyday snippets of life get lost in all the chaos. When I had my first child, I kept track of all his milestones and special moments, but with the arrival of baby#2, then a couple years later baby#3, time seems to have suddenly sped up and all the little moments seem to be getting lost in the everyday hustle of life. For years I have been thinking about writing down these moments, and I wish I had started sooner, but guess its better late than never! I'm writing this story mainly to remember all the everyday moments that may be forgotten years down the road and something for my kids to look back on when they grow up!

In letters to "Emily Rose," an expectant mother chronicles the nine months leading up to her daughter's birth. The journey begins with the word "pregnant" in late autumn and continues through three more seasons, two small towns, and many unforeseeable challenges. Through it all, those little kicks and flutters give her a warm sense of direction in a world that can be, at times, cold and unpredictable. By documenting her experiences, this mother hopes to preserve the precious memories, and make peace with her mistakes and the things she cannot change. And someday she will share this story with Emily Rose, when she, too, is faced with the challenge of becoming a woman and mother. This story was originally published on the parenting blog, http://sisterschance.blogspot.com (see External Link). Ready for a new adventure, it became @Fairytale_Fabler's icebreaker piece at the start of her Wattpad enterprise and it has since been listed on the Stories4Mom reading list. Soon after the "Little Peach" Mother's Day update, it became a Wattpad Featured Story. And like mother and child, their true story even has a story, one that began as a good idea (and a unique opportunity for self-reflection) and developed over the years into something stronger and wiser. Thank you for such overwhelming love and support.
