I don’t usually write posts like this, but I know I’ve made reference to a lot of the excitement around here and you all have reached out with so many good thoughts and wishes. So I wanted to share a quick update on my bed rest/baby/delivery status. As most of you know, I started having […]

It’s been quite an eventful week around here, including three hours of naps for me today. Turns out there are some upsides to drama! Lesson #1: When I went to Bloggy Boot Camp last weekend, I was given an amazing bag full of Good Cook brand utensils (apparently my kids aren’t the only ones who […]
