Things Every Mom Should Know

Sniff your kids. Get to know their smell even as they grow older and lose the yummy soft baby smell. Every night, when you pray over your kids as they sleep, be sure and lean down and inhale their scent. They are all different, and if blindfolded, I could pick my boys out of a lineup of 20 kids. Cade has a sweet yet boyish smell, Tristan is very masculine and musky, and Tanner still has the tiniest, teeniest bit of baby clinging to him. It's very cool. It reinforces the belief that I know them inside and out. And I do.
