Ah… taco Tuesday. It was totally a thing in junior high. Every tuesday, I’d get in the taco salad line.

1. Diapers for two isn’t as bad as everyone says it is. I don’t mind it. One benefit of the babies being this close in age is that I’m already in baby mode. Sure, there are moments where there are two babies roasting in dirty diapers at the same time, but almost always, it is incredibly [...]
