Early Runs While Breastfeeding
After a very stressful week, we were #blessed with the wimpiest of ice storms. Despite how minor the ice, my sons school was closed for two days, and having both kiddos home and trying to work meant pretty much everything that wasn’t essential was cut out of our routine. … Read the rest

I can’t believe how much Lila has grown and changed over the past two months, and I also can’t believe we’ve only had her in our lives for about nine weeks. … Read the rest
