Day 2814 | 2800!
/
Thanks for your patience on this team update post. This is the first time in 2800+ posts that I skipped the 100-day update but sometimes you’ve got to give yourself grace, you know? Life continues to travel at lightening speed which is both lovely and exhausting. We’re at a sweet spot with the boys and our little family and are trying to appreciate that as much as possible.
We’re traveling for spring break this week so the blog will be quiet. In the spirit of travel, though, I’ve included a Mexico-related item below to get you excited about our trip, too!
Without further ado…
