Hadley continues to be a super baby. I posted on Facebook today that I feel like I’ve won the Mommy lottery. In an unscientific at-home measurement, she weighs 15.6 lbs. and is 24.75″ long. This puts her in the 100th percentile for weight and 90th for length. Go Chubba-Chunk! She’s been sleeping through the night for {…Continue Reading}

I had originally intended to share a refashion using two button down shirts, but in the meantime I rediscovered a pattern for a nursing top that I have been searching for forever. It was in the same book that Lindsay from {…Continue Reading}
