So Many Seats!
We had an awesome baby bath when my little girl was very very little. It was small enough to fit on our master bath’s counter and large enough for her to grow with. Eventually, I would have it beside her brother’s bath and I could tend to them both. It served us well. The stepstool is still
Flashback: Baby Names
A long time ago… (2007) I was pregnant and working hard to decide on baby names. If you don’t know our story, I didn’t have a successful pregnancy until 2010 and there was a long period of emotional ups and downs in that time. Anyway, I’ve been looking through old posts, trying to reformat some,
My Baby Favorites
Choosing the “right” gear for your family can be frustrating, and expensive! Originally posted in June of 2013, I’ve made some updates to this one!

Literally, a blur…
I am sitting in my bed, with our newest arrival asleep in her cosleeper beside me and our little monkey watching Star Trek with my hubby in the loft. The screen occasionally blurs over, from my eyes clouding – a frequent occurrence when one wears contacts and gets little rest. Our little angel has been
