The Story of Me, Baby Gizmo, and Being a WAHM
Back in July I created a fancy little resume and sent it off to Baby Gizmo. They were hiring editors for their blog and I was super interested in becoming a regular writer. By the start of August I hadn’t heard anything and was feeling a bit down. You see, I didn’t start out blogging […]

What Does a 16 Month Old Do All Day?
For our getaway gone bust I wrote a fun little hour-by-hour recap for Jemma’s auntie. Jemma shared many of her favorite things and gave a glimpse at her daily schedule. Here’s a peak into a day in the life of Jemma! 6:30-8:00 amYay! This is when I wake up every morning (as early at 6:30, […]
