Q // Before you ever even had children, how did you feel about
being a mother?
A // I was such a tomboy growing up. And while
I wasn’t necessarily in touch with my femininity, I always knew in my heart
that I would be a mother. Not in the ohmygosh babies are soooo cute kind of
way. Not in the OK I'm so old now it's time for kids. Not in the OK we've
dated, I have a degree, I have a job, kids are the next natural step. But in a
deep maternal kind of way. I don't think there was any specific point that it
really solidified it for me -- I've just always known. And from the very moment
I knew of my children's’ existence, I couldn’t imagine life without them.Q // Since becoming a mother, what is something that has happened that you never thought would?
A // I am (more) humble.
I know! Humble people aren’t allowed to say they’re humble! But it only takes a
few times getting something very important completely wrong to realize that you
don’t know nearly as much as you thought you did.
Q // Is being a mother less difficult, more difficult or exactly how difficult you imagined?
Q // What is your fondest memory of being a mother (so far)?
Q // If your children only learn one life lesson from you, what do you hope it is?

I think we've all used the toilet as our own private bunkers at one stage or another. It's not as easy when they stand at the door and stick their fingers underneath it though. I loved your dad's quote, I'll have to remember it as it is so true.

Your dad is so right! Love this. And I also hope my kids remember I wasn't perfect either! Thanks for cohosting. Can't wait for next week!
