Sometimes it is important to get a little uncomfortable before you get comfortable. So here is me taking baby steps, in putting myself out there.
Oh Baby Baby!
This blog feels incomplete without paying tribute to the one person who occupies all my senses these days… my tiny bundle. He turns one today (whew…). So here are my key learnings from him over this year.
Why it is important to sometimes just be in the present
