This sounds like a good hard small and simple life. ❤️🙏🏼❤️ Thanks for taking the time to share your journey to this point! Tips to transition from one to two is keep doing what you’re doing- taking care of you, prioritizing family... usually the second is nothing like the first so perhaps be attuned to your needs and mindful that it’s not you- you’re a loving and amazing mama... your children really are beautiful... sometimes, it’s just really hard. 😅🙏🏼❤️

Very happy for you! I have a family too and your definition of small and simple is where it’s at! All the love for this meaningful life. Best book for siblings: “siblings without rivalry.” You might feel it’s got advice for older kids but I wish I had read it sooner. You can do it! (Slowly :)
