Last week I scheduled 3 pediatrician appointments … Dr. A, Dr. B and Dr. C. My Dad always taught me to comparison shop in lots of three, so that is exactly what I planned to do. Planned being the key word. Pediatrician selection seems like a big deal to me. I had amazing pediatricians growing […]

My amazing mom and sisters, Katie and Hannah, came to visit yesterday with one mission: STOCK THE FREEZER. They had planned a multitude of recipes for Dominic and I to enjoy after the baby is born. Can you say, “Amazing!” I wish I could say they were for rent to help stock your freezer, but […]
