Hold on Loosely
When we brought Delilah home from the hospital (NINE FREAKING MONTHS AGO) we had a plethora of baby-wearing apparatus-i at the ready.

Procrastinators Rejoice.
If you didn’t already know this about me, I’m a big time procrastinator (um, hello birth story? …unless of course you are a present or potential employer, in which case I have the work ethic of an Ox.) Anyway – with the arrival of Sweet Dee and you know, other stuff, I never got around to ordering those birth announcement/holiday… Read more →
