I was so thankful I was already stocked up on diapers … Read More...

When a new baby enters your family, it is a wonderful time like no other, but all your routines and schedules are thrown out the window as you adjust to your new life. It doesn't matter if it is your first baby or your fourth, everything is upside down for awhile as you adjust to life with a new baby. The best thing you can do? Plan ahead and prepare for life to be a little sleep deprived and wonderfully chaotic for awhile. I am a planner by nature and … Read More...
