When I was pregnant with my second baby, I was obsessed with what the change would be like having two kids in the house. I have seen this question asked multiple times in Mom groups I am in. So today, I give you the hard core, real talk, no holding back truth.

Standing in the kitchen I had a crazy and sudden epiphany about connecting in 2020 and where I am compared to where I was at the beginning of 2020. My goal for the year was to really re-connect with friends and build new ones. Many times I have felt like I was failing at that... but have I been?
