Back in 2017, I opened a Google Doc and started an online diary of sorts to write down the daily happenings of motherhood that are more of interest to me and my family than they would be to anyone else. Occasionally, I’ll share one of those entries here on the blog. For past posts from …
Well, it’s official—I should no longer predict how future births will go based on past experience. The birth of my third child–Hyrum Matthew–was wildly different than my experiences with my other two. Part of that was because I went in with a very different birth plan this time around, and the other major part was …
I’m now less than a year away from my end date for my 101 in 1001 list (Day #1,001 is Wednesday October 7, 2020), and I’m quickly starting to realize which goals still have a solid chance of getting completed and which ones will probably only happen by a miracle. But through it all, we …
