Well... Guess What?

 After my "return" to this little ole' blog in late April of this year, I quickly disappeared yet again with the busyness of life & a broken laptop.  And then, well, we had a sweet surprise!  We're expecting our 2nd little one in February 2023!  Can't wait to meet this newest little Valentine!

P.S.: I also got a new laptop, so I'm going to try & be "back" once again.  We shall see.  Fingers crossed.

P.P.S.: Hoping to get a gender reveal video up soon!

Introducing Our Son...

Um, yes, I know he's almost 2.

Maybe introducing him this late seems a bit much, but we'll just blame it on COVID & mama's tiredness & major absence from this little ole' blog.  Nevertheless, here he is our sweet little bundle, not quite so little anymore.

And now here he is today...  Yes, all the quips are true.  They grow so fast, & the days are long & the years are short, but oh so sweet.

Long Time No See {I'm Back!}

 

You guys, if any of you are still out there, I have missed you!  And I have missed this space to write in, & share in, & be creative in so very very much.  Last time I was on here I was majorly a pregnant girl waddling about with such a grateful {& pretty nervous, let's be honest} heart.  Now, I'm a mama to our sweet boy about to celebrate my 2nd Mother's Day ever {with him outside the womb} at 35 years of age {& he's about to turn 2 in June!!!}.  So much has happened since that last post, & a lot of it feels like a blur, a true swirling whirling whirlwind of time.  We've got a lot to catch up on!  I realize that I've missed this outlet & special space, & I love using it to chronicle these days that I so don't want to forget.  I'm back, you guys!  I am  back!

Love,

Laura

P.S.: I promise to introduce you to my boy next!
