Motherhood has a way of keeping you so busy, constantly multitasking and prioritizing and getting chores done and kids raised. I’ve loved my blogging hobby but sometimes it feels like doing an “update” is a burden, one that has so many twists and turns I couldn’t possibly keep up with the details of my own… Continue reading This is him.
Parenting 3 year olds is REALLY hard. Hands down, toughest age yet (don’t I say that every time?). Two is tiring, but three is just – dead. And twins? Forget it.
