Hello friends! Sorry it’s been such a quiet week around here. I’m actually up to my neck in fun kids craft projects that I can’t share with you quite yet (but can’t wait until I can!). And of course I’m scrambling to get so many things completed before this little girl gets here – now …

For Baby:
Bit by bit I’ve been trying to stock up on a wardrobe for baby girl (Due Oct. 4). With my two boys, I had it down as to how I dressed baby: soft knit kimono tops paired with knit pants or the occasional skinny jean. Simple soft soled shoes that came on and off easily. …
