Okay, well, it was for my wedding, and as the time creeps up that I was preparing for my nupts (both last year and this year, since I’ve now been married for a WHOPPING two years!)

Alright, so I’m starting to freak out a little bit.    At 32 Weeks Pregnant, a realization has hit.   That 40 Week mark I’ve had on my calendar since February as a deadline to finish up projects?   It’s suddenly closing in on me.   The more networking I do with other moms-to-be, and the more of them who have started to… Read more →
