Today, Eat Teach Blog is 8 years old.

And I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to log on here and celebrate my blog anniversary. Even though I primarily use Facebook and Instagram to share all my thoughts and feelings, this is where it all originated. My desire to share. My love for writing things in detail. It all started here. Eight years ago.

Now, Eat Teach Blog is heading in a bit of a new direction. If you’re seeing this on a computer, you notice that the sidebar got a nice little update. If you’re on a phone, it might require you to scroll down to the bottom of your page. We are no longer living in Harrogate, sure. But I get to add “new mama” to my “About Me” description.

Yes, Ishaan Mathur made his way into the world on April 21st at 1:14am. He was 9 days past his due date and, likely, would have stayed inside his mama for another month if he wasn’t evicted.

But he’s here and he’s been keeping us busy for the past three weeks. In between diaper changes and feeding and more diaper changes (seriously, this kid wets one just seconds after we’ve changed him!), there is little time to do much else. But we are soaking up every second with his sweet baby snuggles, his yummy newborn smell, and his soft silky skin.

So, hope you’re ready to join me on this next, new adventure as I navigate my way through all things breastfeeding, poopy diapers, and toddlerhood. Eat Teach Blog is about to become a little different in the best possible way.
