It’s remarkable how slowly and quickly a year can pass. It was literally ages ago that I gave birth to Lyra. But also it was yesterday. I’m pretty sure every parent can relate. That’s why I’m so happy I took monthly photos. On the 18th of every month, I snapped that picture and as time passed, the photos accumulated and I began to really realize just how much time was passing.

I’ve been a lot of things in my life, but being a mom is definitely one of the most rewarding.
