2 questions I always get asked are; #1 Are you done having kids? And #2 How is it juggling 3? First off, if you haven't yet you should read my post from a couple years ago, Are You Done Having Kids? I think it is something important to read as to whether or not if... Continue Reading →
Life as a stay at home parent... Spend literally all day cleaning and what do you have to show for it at the end of the day? Having one child, being a stay at home parent was easy. I only had one little human to worry about. It was generally easy for me to keep... Continue Reading →
Day Fifteen. Take a break from social media today and focus on the life around you. This is something I have been trying to do more of lately.
