I love the contrasting artwork by Wee Gallery and intend to use one of their freebies in a picture book I’m making for Jemma. It’s amazing to me how she focuses on things already and I’m hoping pictures such as these will even further entertain her little eyes. I found each of these articles quite […]

Photo credit Jemma and I are in the groove with nursing. It truly is a wonderful experience and I feel so blessed that we haven’t had any major issues. I had big fears about the transition into nursing, but all in all it has been void of terror. I love being able to calm, nourish […]
I’ve been perusing our family pictures and Shutterfly‘s lovely Christmas card options trying to come up with the perfect combination.

I’ve ordered photo books, baby […]
