Mom and I found a fabulous photo album of her pregnancy pictures as well as the journal she kept while expecting me. Trust, storage held some marvelous treasures such as this.

I decided. Well, not 100%, but enough that I ordered the Litto Kids Retro Mushroom Crib Set. I can’t wait for it to come!!! For only $90 I just couldn’t pass it up. Dominic agreed. He loves my passion for a good bargain (and hey, I do too). I’m really hoping it compliments the curtains […]
