Step forward

This is your month my sweet and passionate Elysse. In 17 days you will enter the world of double digits. 🥹 I was brought back to this photo this morning and it brought such a wave of emotions.

Expectations

Last week was a bit rough for me. Tuesday morning in particular I felt a mixture of burnt out and heightened irritability.

A gift that can’t be duplicated 

   Little baby bathed – check. Toddler bathed – check. Dinner ready – check. Mama exhausted – check.  There are moments in the day when things just flow so well from one moment to another.
