One of the things that we think it's important to ask at this time of year is, "what lessons did I learn last year?".
So we thought we would take a minute to share some of the lessons that we learned. Lessons that had a big impact on us.
Lessons that Kendall Learned
We asked Kendall, our 4-year-old, what lessons she learned last year. Here were her responses.
"I learned that I like being a big sister. I love my new school! I learned that it's important to have fun."
Lessons that Beth Learned
"I learned that I should always trust the Universe and my body, because they always know way more than I do. We really weren't happy where we were last year (in Salt Lake). And suddenly the Universe presented us with an opportunity to sell our house and move. Now we are living somewhere that we love, and doing what we love to do.
"We were also bouncing around the idea of having a baby, but we just weren't sure if it was the right thing to do or not. Now we have a beautiful baby girl, and we're so glad that that particular decision was made for us."
Lessons that Josh Learned
"I learned to trust that things will always work out exactly how they are supposed to. I had some real concerns about the direction that things were headed last year, but I just trusted that things would work out and they did.
"I also learned that I would MUCH rather do what I love to do and live with some financial uncertainty, than to have a steady paycheck doing something that is uninspiring and lame..."
Those are some of the lessons that we learned over the last year.
We would love to hear from you about the lessons that you learned. If you want to share, just leave a comment right here.

I've learned that sometimes you just have to say, "NO!" I've always had a hard time saying no to people. I felt like I had to either do what was asked of me or have a really good reason why I couldn't, which would lead to a tired, stressed, busy momma. I've learned that sometimes I just have to turn people down, sometimes without a reason, because if I don't, I end up letting my family down. The people I turn down usually end up finding someone else to do the job. I can only do so much and my family should always come first.
What a great lesson Amber. Thanks for sharing.
