Feeling Overwhelmed

I’ve been feeling more than a little overwhelmed by life lately, and really, I have no one to blame but myself. I spread myself too thin. I try to do too much, and end up doing nothing well. I’ve spent the last hour and a half laying in bed with my mind going a million [...]

Happy Birthday Bean! 1 year ago you made your grand entrance into this world. It was a Thursday morning, about a week before we expected you.
