There will be happy days and we will all smile - There will be sad days and we will wipe eachothers tears.

So its been said that once you get married and have kids your life is basically over.

Bucket list's of things to do before you have kids have been written and rewritten as the times change.

Movies and books end with a wedding or the classic frame where the wife holds her baby bump; but what comes after that?... 

Do we just lock ourselves behind the walls of our home and behind the desk at the office? 

Do we leave everything that once seemed exiting for a mindset idea of what the lifestyle of a wife, a husband or a parent should be?

So here is the truth.

You come home from the clinic after giving birth to your first baby and the same sun that shined yesterday is still shining today. The only difference is in the way you look at the reflected light.

Your Baby has you in the world and no one else! It is up to you to welcome him and introduce him to the world and the way you look at it. From this introduction he/she will gain their own point of view and create opinions of their own.

So I have decided today to change the set idea of what life is like after marriage and having a child. And who am I? I am just a new mother who has made a conscious decision to show the best of what this world has to offer to my baby boy and share all these experiences with my husband. To gather memories as we go, to laugh when we are given the chance and wipe each-others tears when needed.

We are not rich and do not have the financial capability to drop everything and travel the world. We both work and bring in a decent amount of money to tackle our needs and luckily even some of our wants. But we are the ones that make the decisions; we decide what our priorities are and how we should spend what is left in our pockets.

So I will let today be the day that i live the life i have chosen to live. Because today i am here and i am lucky to have a wonderful husband and a precious baby boy and the best dog in the world.

There will be happy days and we will all smile, laugh and celebrate.

There will be sad days and on those days i will be there to wipe your tears.
