Because I know myself too well, I’m not committing to any sort of consistent schedule for link roundups… I initially titled this post “Weekly Roundup” and then laughed in my own face because that is definitely not a level of consistency I can commit to.
I do love a good link roundup though, so I am going to try to create them from time-to-time. Some of them may be thematic, others may just be a roundup of interesting things I’ve read lately.
We’ll start with a thematic roundup. Given that I just shared a post about my own struggles with indecision around becoming a parent, the theme for this list will be “things I’ve read online about making the decision to become a parent or the experience of early parenthood that resonated with me/made my cry/gave me hope” (catchy, right?)
