Well, our warm winter is finally over. The “cold snap” has arrived, and it’s a doozy. Just in time for the boring, bitter, dark month of January too? So not fair.

Summer is such a wonderful time, but when you have a baby it can sometimes feel so much more complicated! Dragging things around, remembering everything you need or might need!

Birdie is now 6, but we never really changed our ways, but then […]
