The End of My Maternity Leave From Blogging (Maybe)

Hey y'all,

Update time!

Yeah, I know it's been a while; but I promise you for good reason:

On November 7th I became a mommy of two.

World, meet Mason Tyler.

We also celebrated my oldest child's first birthday just days later (ok, on the 19th).

I would like to note here that my neighbor has a cake business and makes THE BEST cakes.
Also, her birthday is the same as Katie's; and she made the cupcakes at my last minute request.
Ms. Linda, you're dabomb.com.

I've also figured out how to make mocha's at home (the only coffee I really like) therefore unlimited energy and power is all mine (in theory anyway) -- mwahaha. (Like, that's how bad the energy level was being depleted now that I have TWO babies: I actually googled how to make a mocha. It sounds more pathetic than it probably is.)

And after last year's disastrous attempt at postpartum recovery (I hit up three Thanksgivings after being home from the hospital with my first baby for less than 24 hours), my mom and my hubby have me on strict house and couch arrest.
Therefore I feel super accomplished at just getting the bottles off of the counter

(which should have been done weeks ago) and keeping my kitchen clean on an almost-daily basis and my laundry semi-consistently running.

One baby is taking a nap in her room and the other is napping in my arms as I type this -- and I'm supposed to be napping anywhere at all.

Perhaps we'll cover birth story another time.

Happy Thanksgiving!
