Angie over at All Adither had this post up a couple weeks back about writing your life story in six words or less, after SMITH magazine and Harper Perennial released a book called: Not Quite What I Was Planning--Six Word Memoirs By Writers Famous and Obscure.
And then there was this article over at ParentDish about writing your birth story in six words or less.
I found both of these ideas riveting and incredibly cool. And some of the samples on ParentDish and comments left on both sites were witty and fun to read.
So, I decided to do my own.
Life story:
It all leads up to this.
Birth story:
Easy pregnancy. Easy labor. Colic. Love.
In turn, I want to know yours. Go back to your site, write your own post, link back to this post, then come back here and fill out Mr. Linky with your own six-word memoirs so people can go visit you and read yours.

I saw this early in the morning when I was up at 3 or whatever ungodly hour it was. LOVE IT. Will do immediately and rid us all of the blathering pathetic feel sorry for me post that I wrote at 4:00a this morning!
I found you on Delicious Design Studio. Great blog! I am from NJ too, which made your blog even more appealing. I loved your challenge. Thanks for letting me think outside the box. I'll be reading you from now on!
Thank you so much for your comments! Gah! The joys of being "growed up"..
I found you a couple of weeks ago and I really have enjoyed your blog!! I thought I would de-lurk and join in on the fun! This was fun to do!!
So now that I've done this, I keep thinking of more 6-word ways to describe my life story and birth story, and going, "Man, that one was so much better- I should have used that one!" Grrr.
This was fun, though, thanks for the post and the prompt!
I have seen a few other people do this, but yours is hands down my favorite. I couldn't think of any better way to sum up life in 6 words -- you are brilliant!
omg. your site looks amazing! sorry, I've been MIA from bloggingland lately. but I don't have enough time to catch up right now. so I will be back later. xoxoxo
Innocense, pain, suffering, love, babies, happiness.
That's my life story in only 6 words and it describes it perfectly!
