I think April and May are busier than Christmastime when you have kids. Usually I feel as if I have, like, three friends (and that’s great, I’m an introvert lol) but somehow I have about seventy-six social obligations in two months’ time once the weather turns warm.

Sometimes I get questions from family and friends as to why I don’t share more about the kids on the blog or social media. I could claim it’s for safety reasons, respecting their privacy or that I’m just maintaining the original purpose of the blog (a lifestyle, not parenting blog) but those are more benefits of not sharing much about them, not the why.
