Christmas last year was a little hectic because we had a newborn baby. I’m so looking forward to this Christmas because our daughter is so much more active – even if she won’t entirely get what’s going on! Today I’m…

We went to a Halloween party last weekend (E’s first Halloween party!). We weren’t sure if the adults got into it or not, so we decided to go with an easy diy family Halloween costume. T and I figured that…
