Making it easy on myself

So remember that last post where I mentioned I wanted to write on my blog more regularly? Well...it's been a few months since then. I guess I took another break. 

I've had a lot of ideas floating around in my head - ideas I've wanted to turn into blog posts - buuuuut, it's hard to put myself out there after not for so long. 

So tonight I'm going to make it easy on myself and just post a cute interview I did with Aidan and Kimball awhile ago. 

August 8 to be exact.

This will at least help get the ball rolling on writing in this space more often and help me dive back into the ebbs and flows of sharing more of my life and grief and thoughts and you know...everything in-between all that. 

Plus, this post is just another excuse for me to bottle up my boys' cuteness in any way I can.
