Matryoska or Babushka?

Jemma and I have a tiny obsession with Babushka dolls. When I was expecting I found an adorable onesie while thrifting that had a Babushka doll on it. Jemma wore it to her 2 week pediatrician appointment. From then on, I’ve been loving these little dolls for Jem. Of course, there aren’t many baby things […]

For Such a Time as This

Oh, headbands! You make me smile like no other. Especially when you are on my sweet girl’s noggin :) And, of course, THE BIGGER THE BETTER!
