Almost over?  Did someone push the fast forward button on 2016?  Whew.  What a whirlwind.

I started out thinking 2016 was gonna be my year.  My. Year.  And I gotta say, I’m not sure it was.  2016 was OK.  I survived.  But, it had it’s challenges.  I think 2016 is gonna be a year of mixed feelings for many…

You know who rocked 2016, though?  James.  That kid owned it.

All three of my kids are awesome and unique.  James… he’s my goose.  My happy-go-lucky, do-it-myself, instant-gratification-OR-ELSE child.

And who can blame him?  He’s two.

1

He’s created beautiful moments.

He’s made countless messes.  (At least I’ve got WaterWipes!)

He’s brought me to tears with laughter.

He’s brought both of us to tears with frustration.

He’s (sort-of) mastered the art of song.

2

He’s inspired many a photo-shoot.

And, he’s thrown himself on the floor in a fit of rage.  A lot.

For all of those moments, there’s been WaterWipes.  Over the past year, I’ve been able to share with you how WaterWipes is my wipe of choice.

WaterWipes is a chemical free baby wipe that contains only two ingredients, 99.9% pure Irish water and 0.1% grapefruit seed extract.  Both durable and effective without containing any of the harmful chemicals that may be found in other baby wipes, WaterWipes proves a safer, natural option for your little one… and everything else.

The first few years with your babies are both wonderful and wonderfully challenging, but as you’ll find out… it’s worth every minute.  As we embark on the week of Thanksgiving, take a few moments to reflect on your family and how regardless of how the year turned out for you and yours, you’ve got your little people.

As a WaterWipes Ambassador, I’m happy to share with you this wonderful video, sharing the experience of fellow ambassadors during the first years of parenthood.

Best of luck and here’s to a great end to 2016 and an even better year to come!
