It’s been a while! Michael coming home from AIT and moving to Fort Bragg kept me pretty busy the last two months. We have had all sorts of parenting ups and downs. I spent my first nights away from the boys (5 days in fact!). We are settling in to our new house, with some new expectations and boundaries. Michael is reintegrating to being an in-person parent after 15 months of deployment/training. And we’re all reintegrating to being a family of 4 (soon to be 5) under one roof again.
We (by that I mean, I) have put a big focus on curating our home into a place of refuge and simplicity for our family. We’ve done this by minimizing and being deliberate about what we bring into our home. This can be tricky in today’s world of consumerism, especially where children are concerned. There are so many products that are marketed as ‘must-haves’ for new moms; it can be overwhelming! And, honestly, not all kids like the same things! Over the next few weeks I’ll do a blog post about what our must haves are for when Baby Girl gets here. I can’t wait to share this journey of being a girl mom & mom of 3 with you!
