Precious Moments
Both Alex and I learned right off the bat the importance of quality time versus quantity of time with Ben. That has been a valuable lesson in going back to work and balancing our careers with being parents. It makes the precious little moments that more meaningful… Reading to Ben is one of my favorite …
The Latest Happenings
Life has gotten a lot busier since I’ve been back to work. We are really getting into a groove though and I feel like we’ve got a really good foundational routine that is easy for us to adapt to whether it’s a workday for both Alex and me, a workday for Alex but a “mom” …
