When I was young there were a lot of things I said I would never do.
Some things just didn’t make sense to me. I felt they were unnecessary or ridiculous.
It’s been a long road traveled since then. Now as I think back on those things I said I’d never do...today I am doing those very things. 😏😄

Oh my gosh I thought vans were the ugliest vehicles EVER. I used to ask my siblings
why would anyone ever want to be seen in one of those?
A van doesn’t know if it wants to be a car or a truck...like really make up your mind what kind of vehicle are you? I used to think they ran out of ideas and just threw something together lol.
I seriously had something against vans, especially the extra long ones. Then the ones without back windows were really weird looking to me, even rather creepy. 😬
I LOVE OUR VAN! 😁 I can’t imagine not having one for our family. Actually there are not very many options for us to drive a family of seven around.
The SUV’s that are 7 seater are not as comfortable as a van. You have to pull the seats forward to get kids in and out. With a van all they do is climb in and straight back to their seats without any extra hassle. There is also way more leg room which is good for traveling.
My young self sure was ignorant to the fact that vans are so convenient for larger families. I had no idea how comfortable they are to ride in on trips. I was just focused on the outer appearance instead of the functionality of them. Nowadays vans have come a long way in style, they are not as ugly as they used to be. 😅

I’m going to let you in on one of my deepest embarrassments. I’m trusting you to keep it between us okay?
I hated vegetables so much back then that I used to sneak behind my parents back and hide them under our dishwasher. 🤭
Okay let me elaborate some more. My parents wouldn’t let me leave the dinner table until I ate a certain amount of vegetables on my plate. I would literally sit there crying while forcing myself to eat them.
Well one day I got clever. When my parents weren’t looking I’d grab a handful of those wicked vegetables from my plate and stuff them under our dishwasher. I pushed them far back enough where no evidence could be found. 😎
The last time I did this my hand got stuck under the dishwasher. I’m serious y’all like for real stuck! 😳
Unfortunately I had to call my parents to help me get it unstuck. I can’t remember the lame excuse I gave of why my hand was down there and how it got stuck. What I do remember is the whole situation made my dad suspicious of what I was really doing. 😓
The next morning I woke up and was called to the kitchen. I walked in to see the dishwasher pulled out away from the wall and my many months of hiding vegetables right there on the floor. 😵
You can imagine it wasn’t a pretty sight and the look on my parent’s face said it all.
After that hideout was exposed I began holding the vegetables in my mouth and pretending I had to use the restroom.
In the toilet they went. 🤫
My parents never found out I was doing this.
They both used to tell me
one day you will love vegetables and actually choose to eat them.
I’m not sure if they realized who they were talking to. I mean me? The veggie hider. Haha come on no way! 😂
Yeah, can’t live without my veggies. 🤷🏽♀️
They called it. I can’t get enough of vegetables and salads. It’s hard to believe I hated them so much back then.
Now the tables have turned and I have to make my kids eat them sometimes. Well, it depends on which kid and which vegetables I make. Everyone has developed their own preference but I’m glad they at least like some veggies.
Isn’t it funny how our preferences change with age? 😆

I was twenty five years old when I got married. Before then I would daydream of what it would be like having my own family. In my early twenties I did desire to get married and have children.
It was after marriage that my husband and I decided we weren’t going to have any. I think we both just liked caring for the two of us, it was easy. We didn’t want to be boggled down with the worries and stresses of trying to raise children.
We had decided we would travel all over the world together and make a life full of adventures. We both had nieces and nephews to spoil and figured that would be enough.
Here I am 5 months pregnant with our first baby...need I say more? 🤣
Ah life! It’s so unpredictable.
We wouldn’t have it any other way. We love having a big family and there is never a dull moment in our home.
Even though it gets chaotic I try to remember they will not be young forever. I’m experiencing that right now with my first born. She will be eleven years old in April and is changing right before our eyes. She’s becoming into her own. She’s not my little baby any more. 😫
We’ll continue to enjoy this ride of parenthood and live everyday to the fullest.
Never ѕαy Never
I was so quick to say what I would never do. This famous saying rings a lot of truth. You just never know what you will actually end up doing. 😄
