How many times have we all heard, “You’ll never be ‘ready’ to have a baby”? I quickly became the person receiving this “advice” to the one dishing it out. Truer words have never been spoken. There will ALWAYS be a reason to hold off on growing your family. Trust me. One of the main concerns [...]

We have been so blessed to receive many “hand-me-downs” for Lyla over the past 20 months. We were so excited to receive a swing set from friends over the weekend. In addition, another friend gave us an infant swing since Lyla can’t very well maneuver a normal swing, yet. Lyla has also received a countless [...]
