This is our 2nd week of our giveaways in honor of momAgenda’s 5th birthday!
Even though it was 5 years ago, I remember it well. I had worked incessantly for about a year on this brand new idea that would help moms get organized. It was May 2005 and I was finally showing my new product to prospective buyers at the National Stationery Show in New York. The show started on a Sunday, and our factory did not get us our samples until the Friday before. That’s right, I saw the finished product momAgenda Desktop for the first time only 2 days before our customers did! Three days later, the show was over, and our first run of inventory had sold out. I was overwhelmed! Seriously, I did not know whether to laugh or cry, and so I did both.
To enter this week’s giveaway, share a memory of an event that changed your life. It does not have to be long and detailed; just a few lines will do. We are giving away a Desktop day planner–your color choice. Winner will be chosen at random on Monday April 19. Good luck everyone!
Marrying my wonderful husband! Because of him, we are parents of 3 wonderful kids and we are blessed beyond measure.
My life changed the day I married my husband because I also married the Navy. Life is never certain, if we make plans to go away for the weekend or just to dinner, the Navy breaks plans. I need a planner & a pencil to help organize and re-plan the changing moments of life.
The biggest event that changed my life was the birth of my son…It was all about me before his birth, and it’s now all about him. My world revolves around him, and I’m completely unselfish and want to give everything I have to him. Because of my son, I am a better person.
Mine is relatively recent. We found out on February 21st we are expecting our first child together. That was a life-changing moment, and a special, amazing day for us as a family.
The biggest event that changed my life was moving away from home after college. Until then, I had family and friends around to lean on and help me out. Moving away and realizing that I had to be a grown-up and make all the decisions was life changing!
The biggest event that changed my life was on March 22, 2008 when I married my husband and became a “step”mom to my 2 beautiful daughters. From there I’ve become “soccer” mom, “taxi”mom, “pto” mom. I’m very blessed to have my 2 girls and hope to add on soon.
The event that changed my life was the birth of my daughter four years ago tomorrow. She was born at only 30 weeks – aka two-and-a-half months early! – weighing only 3 and a half pounds. After a month in the hospital, she came home. Now she’s a healthy, active, bright, silly, Pink Princess! Having her in my life changed it forever!
My life-changing moment was when I first started dating my now-husband. We were friends in high school, but nothing more. I moved away for university and was engaged to another man. However, life’s twists and turns brought me back home and into his arms. We are now married with two wonderful children!
The biggest event that changed my life forever was the day my daughter was formerly diagnosed with autism. Talk about overscheduled- never ending appointments and meetings, not to mention the sheer exhaustion from managing all of it! She is beautiful now and doing fabulous, but she is always a work in progress!
Of course, my life changed the minute my 1st child was born, but the birth of my 2nd child really starts the story. She was born 8 weeks prematurely and spent some time in the hospital. Looking back and knowing what I know now… It would have been wonderful to have a MomAgenda to log in all of the details to review now. All of the doctor appointments, concerns, weights, celebrations and various details my memory fails to remember. The good news— she is 11 years old now and as healthy as healthy can be!
My sister is due in July and I will be getting her an agenda so she can log her appointments and memories!
The day that changed my life was not the day I married my husband but the day we met. THAT day set into motion the many days since that have kept my life exciting, full of fun and of God’s blessings!
The birth on my premie twin daughters on May 5, 2009…and the weeks in the NICU that followed…It made me a stronger person and made our marriage even stronger…cannot believe that my little miracles will be one soon…
The birth of my first child is the biggest event that changed my life. I was now responsible for a life. It totally changed my perspective on life and made me a much less selfish person.
The biggest event that changed my life was on May 18, 2007 when my family (twin boys age 5, 11 mos boy) moved from FL to MD due to my husband being transferred. We did not know anyone and had lived in FL for almost 11 years and had left many dear friends and my parents and sister who helped out a great deal with my kids. It was so hard picking out schools, a house, and church but we did it and made great friends only to have to do it again on July 20, 2008 when we moved to GA. All of the moves have sure made us stronger and the kids have made great friends. The goals is to get back to FL and we are much closer!
Day my first child was born. I’m adopted, and a nurse said to me, this was my only biological relative. I hadn’t thought of it, but it was true! It definitely was something that made me think and kind of eye-opening. Plus life changed because I was now a mommy.
Mine would be the day I became independent. I had a job that supported myself and a dog and I was out living on my own. While I am married with a family now and still working, it is nice to know that I did and can do it on my own.
The biggest event that changed my life was when I had my oldest daughter, who is now 3 years old. She is the most amazing blessing I could ever have. I’m about to have another baby girl in about 6 weeks, and look forward to that blessing as well.
A moment that changed my life was when I learned that my Mother had passed away. She, who gave me life, was gone. Noone – not even my wonderful Dad – could ever be ALL that she was. She was giving, loving, and always my best friend – not to mention the most organized person I had ever encountered. (She would have loved momAgenda!) I am a mom now and realize that this “job” is far greater, far sweeter, and far more important than I could have ever imagined.
The biggest event that changed my life was the day I met my husband 5 years ago. Since that day, my life has been full of so much love, so much laughter, so many great memories, fun, and so much more. He stands by me through everything and truly is my best friend and own personal cheerleader. We got married 2 1/2 years ago and now have a beautiful baby boy that is the light of our lives. I couldn’t be happier!

The day we bought our first house was the day I stopped feeling like a kid and started feeling like an adult.
My sister passed away on New Year’s Day. My life will forever be changed. I am still trying to reach a place where I feel some control in my life again.
This is easy – the birth of my son almost six-years ago. It changed how I view almost every aspect of my life … for the better!
The biggest event that changed my life was becoming a mom! Looking into those beautiful blue eyes for the first time and knowing that someone needed me and depended upon me for everything!
The biggest day of my life was giving birth to my twins. It was a hard journey to deliever those two boys but it was worth it.
My biggest event was when I moved from one coast (West) to the other (East). I was young enough and naive enough to believe it would be temporary and “fun” change! That was 13 years, one husband and two kids ago…LOL
One of our life-changing moments was the day we found out my husband was getting a job transfer and we’d have to move. I was about 8 months pregnant with our first child. This new opportunity allowed me the privilege of being a stay-at-home mom – which is the reason I NEED my momAgenda!
I know it’s a bit trite, but having my son changed me completely. He is my world. I became more responsible and straightened my priorities out. I can’t believe how far we have come together. And, I can’t wait for what is still to come.
The day was 5-31-2006, I helped deliver my First Grandson Aaron! I now have custody of him. He is an amazing child whom has changed everything in my life from the way I think to the way I Love! Mothering at 49 yo is a whole different world then at 29!
Several years ago my husband took a job that required us to move thousands of miles from all of our family. We still miss “home” but have learned how to feel at home here too. It has changed my life for sure.
My life changed the day we adopted our first child. Because of him, our family’s life was forever changed, the people around us are forever changed and our hearts know so much more love because of him! Our eyes were opened to the orphan crisis that day too. What a day!
My life changed the day I decided to take a chance and talk to the stranger who had started a conversation with me, (typically not something I do!) We have been married for two years and he not only changed my life but has shown my children what it is like to have someone who cares in their life!
I think I can honestly say that each new day that comes changes my life in a special way… as a mother of 3 living in France I am like so many other women across the world, living a life of ups and downs where we try to juggle between kids, work, husband, friends, family…sometimes it feels more like a struggle than a relaxing journey, but I take each day that comes as a blessing. Each minute I spend with my children, each time I fail , each time I succeed, each time I wonder if I’ve made the right decision… I try to use my experience in order to change my life and the lives of those I love for the better. I spend my life learning from people, from events, and I believe that each moment that passes by we have the opportunity to change our lives for the best, we just need to realize that and seize the occasion to make this world a better place for all, whether it’s with a hug, a helping hand or a life changing decision !
A moment that changed our lives was finding out we were expecting our second child. We had several miscarriages before having our first. We tracked ovulation and temperatures, went through testing, etc. On my daughter’s first birthday, I took a pregnancy test just for kicks. I was expecting! I could hardly believe this happened with no effort whatsoever. It revealed to us once again that life is not in our hands, as much as we’d like it to be.
The biggest event to change my life was the day I found out I was pregnant. I had to mature very quickly and know 6 years later I am sure becoming a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me.
My life has changed in a big way several times but the one that comes to mind first is the day I became a mom. I had waited so anxiously for my daughter to be born and when she finally was I was in such a state of shock. Nothing I had done in the previous nine months could of prepared me for it. I was filled with joy and fear all at once. That was the first time I realized that I would never be the same. I had to adjust to a new normal.
My life changed traumatically on the day the D. told me my seven and a half year old daughter had Bone Cancer. After eleven and a half months as an in-patient for chemo and surgery she was released.It’s 3 years I will never forget. But she is 22 today and very healthy.
God truly blessed us .

The day I met my husband changed my life. I new the instant I laid eyes on him, we were meant to be. At that minute, I new everything would be alright. We met 6 years ago and have 2 beautiful children… I couldn’t love him any more!
It was the night my husband first kissed me. I had given up on ever finding love. I was 30 never had a boyfriend and all of my siblings were married with kids. Then one night at a friends I met my husband (he was her nieghbor). He was nice and we talked. I thought he was good-looking. A few nights later I was staying with my friend again. When I went to take out the trash he came across the street grabbed me,kissed me,and said I wanted to do that the first night I met you. I fell in love right then. I knew that God hadn’t forgotten about me I just had to wait a little longer than most. We married a year to the day later.
The day I had my twin boys. I was able to deliver 2 healthy boys after having difficulty getting pregnant. We feel so blessed!
March 9, 2010 marked the birth of my second child and a son. This made our family complete. Not only is our family complete, but Parker is the first great-grandson with 5 cousins 5 and under. Both of my grandparents are living and this is wonderful.
The birth of my daughter has changed my life in ways I could not even imagine. I am a different women because of her!
When I was 16 years old, I had a seizure and not only lost all my math memory but also found it difficult to remember basic day-to-day things I needed to do. At that young age I learned to utilize organizational tools to help me be effective and productive. Now that I am a mom and wife, in grad school, an active volunteer and juggling other important things in my life, those organizational tools are even more important than ever!
When I graduated with my master’s. Because during that 2 years of school I got engaged, planned our wedding, got married, and bought our home. I know grad school didn’t make all those things happen, but it did make me realize I can balance work/play/school and still accomplish all my goals!
