Girl’s Life

We are binky free in our house these days and loving it!
We went took a weekend trip up to the mountains a couple weeks ago, and like I mentioned before, I packed everything we owned for the 3 days we’d be gone. Everything, that is, except a pacifier.

I’m sure by now, if you are a New Year’s Resolutions kind of person, you have made them. I know for me, I always have great intentions this time of year. Everything just sparkles with so much possibility. And yes, I have to admit, I sometimes get that “change is needed” bug and make a […]
