It's been a while...

I could launch into apologies for my absence, but if you're a parent, chances are "life happens" is an adequate explanation for why this blog has sat dormant for so long.

The last year has been a wild, exciting ride for the Bots. We moved into our home in July 2018, we married in March 2019, we are adopting a dog TODAY, and we will be celebrating Troy's second birthday this month. There have been some trials along the way, but I wouldn't trade a second of it.. well. Maybe I'd trade a few moments for just a bit more sleep, but you know what I mean.

We had a fantastic year as our family grew into it's new digs.

Work has been crazy, but in the best possible way! I am a trainer now, which means frequent schedule changes and putting my parenting patience into practice, but I am so fortunate to have a village to lean on in my times of need. The move was to bring us physically closer to our family and friends, and it has made a world of difference. Mamas and papas, you need a village. Build it however you see fit, but none of us can do this alone. Beyond the isolation, we are just limited in our endless capacities.

Troy is moving into the most magical and also savage age. He rarely wants to cuddle, but he will grab my face and kiss me good night. He can't tell me what he wants to eat still, but once we figure it out, he can eat relatively independently (depending on how much of a mess I want to deal with). Oh, speaking of messes; he makes them, but he also is interested in cleaning them up. Who knew two would be such a confusing and wonderful time. 🥰

I have a lot of reviews and posts planned. In the meantime, you can get acquainted with our recent activity via the Instagram tab. How have you and your families been this past year? Fill me in below!
