My life is so beautifully chaotic right now. So much joy and so much mess. Typing blog posts with a wee one snuggling on my belly while white noise blasts. Scarfing down one of these Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothie Bowls and then frantically trying to shower before the baby starts screaming again. Listening to audio…
