There are so many reasons I love your blog. You are a descriptive writer, you're upbeat but also realistic, you value and celebrate family (which I LOVE!), you are motivating, etc. etc. Seriously-- your blog is a treat and is one of the rare blogs these days that has stayed true to its original intent as a 'memory keeper' rather than a disingenuous shilling machine. Your values come through strongly and I love that you celebrate and aren't apologetic for being a SAHM. Keep shining! You are a bright light!Katrinkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385320698053537623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590539123641899702.post-37755785502296596482019-01-17T11:45:09.720-06:002019-01-17T11:45:09.720-06:00Couldn’t agree more Couldn’t agree more Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702087063212804766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590539123641899702.post-63397483786299702922019-01-17T11:44:51.284-06:002019-01-17T11:44:51.284-06:00Hi friend - You’ve been here for so many states (a...Hi friend - You’ve been here for so many states (and babies) between us!

I am newish around here... started when you were pregnant with Drew so over a year! <br />At the risk of sounding creepy, I was drawn to your blog because of your name. My name is also Tess and I haven't met any others with our name. :) Another thing... I LOVE Chicago. I am from Arkansas and visited almost 3 years ago with my husband and sons. We all fell in love with Chicago. <br />Before I go married and had children, I totally could have been one of those gals that lived in a big city, living the single life. Now don't get me wrong I wouldn't trade it now, but I still imagine what living in a high rise building looking onto lake Michigan would be like... <br />Maybe you could to an "in the life of" with one of your sisters. That would be fun. You can totally go tell me to fly a kite too.

LOL Long term I could see having three kids being nice (i.e. once they are grown and out of the house), but for now in the thick of it, two feels so good and busy and FULL. And I love the idea of never having to be pregnant/ recover from a c section again.
