It’s funny how much can change in a couple years! I wrote this post about how our Dyson Ball Animal 2 helped my husband and me live happily ever after. And now, fast forward to almost a couple years later, and our family of two has grown to become a family of three (I’m referring to our little furbaby, Douglas, btw. Don’t worry, we aren’t expecting!). As with any expanding family, our needs have naturally changed.

I was really banking on having some downtime in January – time to collect my thoughts, plan, organize, get inspired. At least, that’s how it was for me last January.
