Feathering My Nest – Graco Get One Give One #8

I have to start by saying that this post is long overdue!  As soon as we found out that Itsy Bitsy Parker was on the way, I began dreaming of transforming our current workout room into a cozy baby paradise.  My nesting instinct definitely set in early, but I’m somewhat of a “nester”, pregnant or [...]
