September Chats

September 30, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Excuse me, but how am I already doing this again? I feel like I JUST wrote August Chats like 4 minutes ago, and here we are at the end of September. Confused, please explain ASAP. This has actually been a BIG month for us - hence my lack of presence on the blog...whoops, my plan to plan ahead did not go as planned. Nahmean? Hopefully I can get back on track with that...starting with this post. ...

August chats...but in the beginning of September? What day is it even? Life is cray and August went by faster than a shower with my 2 year old banging on the door. But a lot has happened this month! August has been big. Let's chat about it! What I've Loved Tailwind Pre-publishing: (precursor, this isn't even an affiliate link, I just love Tailwind enough to SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS.) ...

July Chats

July 30, 2019 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Chats? Let's chat about that. Hello, friends! I want to start doing something new on the blog. One thing I've had to realllllly work hard to find balance in is parenting while having a career in blogging. Because it's a work from home job and I'm also a stay at home mom, the two get muddled sometimes, and it can be really challenging to figure out how to do both well and not sacrifice one or ...

Back in Business!

Hello everyone!!! I am so excited to be writing this right now! I will say that part of me is sad that maternity leave is over because I just LOVED being able to focus all my time and attention on my bebes. It was a wonderful three months. Very, very exhausting and challenging at times, because...newborn + one and a half year old...but I freaking loved it. So, I'm going to spend some time ...

To Our First Baby

July 13, 2018 by Annie Chesson 2 Comments

My sweet little boy, you will be one next week, yet it feels like you've filled our whole hearts for so much longer. I wish you could understand how you have changed your daddy and I's world. Before you, I was content, I was happy, I didn't feel like you were missing. Your daddy and I had a life full of love and laughter and joy, but I never could have fathomed how the fullness and joy could ...

Back in Business!

OH MY GOSH. It's been years since we've chatted. Okay months, but it feels like years. This is the longest I've gone without blogging since I started! So let's sit down, grab a cup of coffee (preferably Pumpkin Spice since it is now September/Fall/the best time of year EVA), maybe a cookie or five, and catch up. The first and most glaringly important thing to update you on is our brand new, ...

Guess What?!

January 11, 2017 by Annie Chesson 12 Comments

OH my goodness, I cannot possibly explain how hard it has been to wait this long to share this news with you guys!! I. Have. Been. Dying. Every single post I've written since the very beginning of November, I've been one spastic keyboard motion away from typing "OH BY THE WAY I'M PREGNANT" and then frantically clicking publish. I overshare on this blog like every single day, and keeping this to ...
