My mother and I hosted a relaxing and fun (and oh-so-pretty, if I do say so myself) baby shower for my sister this past weekend. She is due officially on June 16th but I am personally hoping it’s any day now! Knowing that she’s not a lover of all things pink, coupled with the fact…

The kids' school is celebrating Dr. Seuss this week by having the kids wear wacky and fun hats & socks on Friday. After going through our dress up bins down in our playroom to see what they could come up with, my oldest suggested making them out of a paper grocery bag, as we've done…
