Milo Monday is being demoted for a week because I HAVE NEWS!!!! I had the absolute pleasure of talking with author, fellow mom of 5, and my online writer friend, Brittany Meng of The Motherhood Metamorphosis Podcast a few weeks ago!

And here's tradition #2 that I will be carrying over from Insta-stories to insta-wordpress! Thursday Thoughts!
