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.) ...
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
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.

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, ...

Riley
May 4th. This day was supposed to be very, very different for us. Rather than just another normal Thursday work day, Seth and I were supposed to be at the hospital, welcoming our first child into the world.

But, nope! Not me. Seth is the same way. So with two of those people living in the same apartment, I'm sure you can imagine things can get messy pretty fast. And I HATE it when my apartment is messy. ...
