Hello, hello, this is Dene and today I am bringing you some life updates.

Some of you may know that about a year ago I stepped away from social media pretty much

entirely.

I'll pop on occasionally, but that's where I was mostly sharing some of my life updates

and what was going on personally with me, with my family, with my work.

And since I haven't been doing that, I've had some requests for an update episode.

So that's what this is.

For anyone who's interested, I'm going to share a little bit about what's new with my

work, school, home, childcare, my house, my personal well-being, and some fun things that

have been coming up.

I want to start by saying that my family and I lead a very privileged life.

In this episode, I'm going to be highlighting some of the things that I love and some

of the things that have been going well.

But remember, there's always more to the story.

Even though I am blessed in many, many ways, most days still feel really hard in one way

or another, parenting, managing day-to-day life, managing the stuff.

It still feels hard.

So if it feels hard for you, understand that that is part of the journey.

There are absolutely things that we can do to make life a little lighter, make our days

run smoother, and to find more happiness at home with kids.

But the word easy might not be one that comes into your vocabulary very often.

I know it doesn't mind.
