Oh man you guys, this was a rough week. As I mentioned last week, Sophie came down with a bug, which a few days later morphed into a double ear infection and lower chest infection. We have one sad little toddler on our hands, which has resulted in several sleepless nights and two exhausted parents. I struggle during weeks like this: days that feel like a slog behind the scenes while trying to push forward and share pretty things for all of you to enjoy. I want to share the good and the bad here, but when things get tough (and especially when I’m feeling wiped out) it often feels easier to be quiet and wait for the storm to pass. I’m also way overdue for a Sophie update and a general life update, but that will have to wait for next week when I hopefully have a bit more energy. But in the meantime…
