This Is What Adjusting to Two Kids Looks Like {July in a Sentence a Day}

TorrieAugust 10, 2018August 10, 2018

If you’re new around these parts, this monthly series is an exercise in brevity as I try (but not very hard) to summarize each day of our month in one sentence. (Also, I’ve been taking a picture of my daughter–and now my son, too–every day since they were born, and this is a GREAT place …
