5 things I actually worried about (that I wish I hadn't)My husband likes to tease me about my worry wart tendencies, and I always reply with a simple statement; "I worry because I care." I think nothing could be more true when it comes to motherhood and wanting to do the best you can at the most important job you'll ever have. But now that I've been doing this parenting thing for 8 years, I look back and realize that there were some things I worried about so much, and wasted so much energy on that if I could go back in time and change things, I would definitely worry less. Thinking back to my first year as a new mom, here are the top 5 things I worried about the most, and wish I hadn't, because when it comes to these subjects, it all worked out in the end.

10. Do you remember the show Full House? There was an episode where Rebecca found out she was pregnant and was trying to tell Uncle Jessie by making him a dinner full of "baby" things like baby back ribs, baby carrots, baby corn.

When I found out I was pregnant for the first time, creating a eco-chic nursery wasn't on the forefront of my mind. But slowly, as the years have passed and my philosophies on both design (I'm an interior designer by higher education) and life changed, both my style and desire to live a more waste-less clean life has increased.
