After listening to John Lennon’s So This is Christmas, I started to think about my own rendition So This is Parenthood??!!

In future weeks to come (during and after the craziness and busyness of the holidays) I’ll be posting a series about parenthood in regards to what I thought it was prior to having little minions and what it turned out to really be. Some subjects will be marriage, pregnancy, self, daily life and what we miss from the “days before kids.” So be on the look out because you won’t want to miss out on these funnies and not so funnies of parenthood.
