Continue reading →: my kid is a huggerSo this is kind of awkward, but Holden has turned into a real… hugger. I’m talking hugging every child she sees, sometimes so hard that she drags them to the ground. Not so much with adults, just with kids. And stuffed animals. It’s a bit odd for me because, outside…

Continue reading →: baby #2 wishlist: 001 the baby bathOne of the good things about having kids this close together is that there’s very little I need by way of baby stuff this time around (not to mention, I have the insight as to what I actually use and what is a ridiculous waste…).

Continue reading →: stuff for baby #2As I’m approaching my 30th week of pregnancy (!), I’m realizing it’s time to get ready for this little guy’s arrival. We have tons of baby stuff from when Holdy was an infant, so it’s really just filling in some gaps here and there. Here are two of the cool…

Continue reading →: that’s a hot pink dresserSo if you’ll recall, I have a vision for Holden’s big girl room: an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque vision.
