first real snow day

Here's to the dreamiest Wednesday morning this stay at home mama could ask for. Currently, I am drinking hot coffee in my wool socks while Ruby takes a long nap.

tips on building a baby registry

It was just a year ago around this time that I was pregnant & putting together a registry for our little one. Pregnancy was pretty tough for me and picking out fun baby things was definitely a redeeming aspect. I was still working and it would be dark outside by the time I got home. After a full day of teaching I was...
