There are many ways, these are just a few off the top of my head.
Please feel free to add to it.
Your body changes, that's for sure.
They way you think about the world and the future, changes.
Thrill seeking days end, thinking of your children's future without you.
Our sleep hours change.
Clothes style changes for lots of moms, and not for the better. Myself, included.
Our friends change.
Sometimes, the city we live in must change. (neighborhood, school, etc.)
The way you look at the simple things in life change, when you are looking through your child's eyes.
Your social life changes. You have to be really selective in deciding where you will go without your children because you can only leave them with a sitter every so often.
The way you drive changes.
The way you love changes.
Children make you want to be a better person because they are mirrors of your actions.
Children make it impossible to talk on the phone, always.
Children bring a joy and a form of entertainment that you cannot experience any other way and it is the BEST.
Children can bring you back to your childhood at any given moment.
Children change the way you look at your own mother.
Children change the way you look at your own family.
You will spend more money on your children, and less on yourself, once they are a fetus.
Children make you second guess yourself more than anyone else can in the world.
Children will make you worry, all the time.
Your life is one big sacrifice with children, and it is also the most rewarding life you can imagine.
Children change the way your home looks.
Children change what television shows you watch. That is why DVR is a must!
Children change "what matters most" in your life.
Children change your priorities.

Children change the way you speak. I never said poopy and dog gone it (instead of sh**) more in my life.
Children change the type of vehicle you are use to driving.
Children help you remember the little things in life. I forgot about what it was like playing with BUGS!
Your children's cry is the one thing that can touch your very soul or raise your blood pressure.
Small accomplishments never seemed as important until you had children.
and
Your heart will NEVER be the same once you have children.
Agree with all 100%! I think of my old life often and wonder what in the world did I do with all that 'free' time?! It is amazing how things have changed.
