There is nothing more beautiful than the introduction of a newborn baby. I still remember the exact moment when my husband brought my two older boys into the room and introduced them to their new little brother.

By 4 Comments
Being a mom to three boys requires me to have all the energy I possibly can to keep up all day, every day. I'm infamous for skipping breakfast even though I'm the first one to get on my kids on how important it is. Sawyer on the other hand loves breakfast and drags me to the kitchen every morning. He doesn't like eating alone and makes sure I'm sitting with him at the table. This is a post … [Read more...]
