It’s sooooo hard to believe that my sweet babygirl is about to turn 6 months old, y’all!!! 6 months!! I started this series in August when she was a mere 3 months and she’s already halfway to one year now—that’s unreal!! Anyway, thanks for reading along on my journey of postpartum rediscoveries as a second-time […]
This week I want to share about another truth I’ve discovered–especially in this season of postpartum: being intentional.
