I was cleaning out one of my bags this morning and came across a piece of paper with a list on it. It must have been from the early Fall or late summer. I vaguely remember writing it but it's a list of everything I had done that day. I wanted to write it all down so that I would remember what daily life was like (for me) with a 3 year old and an infant.
