valentine gift ideas for your kid’s friends + classmates (with 4 free printable valentines)
I remember making valentine cards for everyone in my class. I also remember attaching a piece of candy to it too. As a parent, I’m really not interested in spending money on candy. I’d much rather give our little friends something unique, fun and creative. That’s why I think these Usborne goodies are worth investing […]

Aaron and I have always been resourceful, and the sad truth of spending thousands of dollars on diapers that only ended up in […]
letters to paisley || 3-months-old
My dear, sweet, precious Paisley, Ever since you were born, you have been the chillest, sweetest, most precious little human that I am unashamedly obsessed with.
