One of my biggest struggles since becoming a new mom to two little ones has been having a solid night of sleep for myself. I have been a new mom of two for almost an entire year and I can count on a single hand the number of mornings that I have woken up feeling fully rested. Between Isla--who still wakes up throughout the night, Brody--who sleep talks, and my mind--which likes to start brainstorming ideas around midnight, mornings have been a little rough.

The first year of motherhood is filled with wonderful moments and big milestones. Our little ones are changing quickly and it seems like each time we blink they've grown a bit bigger and become a bit less baby. But what I've started to learn in this beautiful journey is that as precious as our time is together, a little time for myself is of equal importance.
