I’m taking a much, much needed bloggy break and work break for 3 WEEKS!! I may post one or two photos, but I’ll be putting my focus on my family and my friends. So, if you belong in one of those two groups you can look forward to more of me. I really do [...]

I’ve been thinking about breastfeeding our next child. It’s a decision that I haven’t fully made yet, but I don’t see why I wouldn’t do it.
