What’s the Tooth Fairy’s Name?

Baby lost another tooth. This is still a pretty new event in our house, so Baby dancing around singing about her tooth can be considered pretty normal.

Babies, Bundles & Bumps #72: Baby’s 1st Picture

No, many are taking that exciting step and starting families, including one of my teammates who just became the proud mama of 10lb 1oz (eep!) [...]

Crafty Kids: Pinecone Santa

Growing up, my mom’s family always had the tradition of making gifts for extended family for Christmas.  That way, everyone didn’t have to buy presents for all of the aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, etc. – but we could still give each other a little something.
