A few months ago, I posted a review of “Intelligender” HERE. This is such a cool product if you’d like to find out the gender of your baby as early as 10 weeks into the pregnancy! Our results were clearly “boy”, and our 20 week ultrasound confirmed that we are, indeed, having a boy! If [...]

Yes, I know it’s truly shocking! I bought a pair of lamps tonight and they WERE NOT from a yard sale. I found these beauties at TJ Maxx and they were on clearance for $29.99 each. Based on other lamps I’ve seen, this was a great deal. A lot of stores make you purchase the [...]

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 [...]
