Well today’s post is an admission of insecurities and fears. So buckle up and get ready for a ride from the mom-to-be. Today I come to you feeling like the new mom. As I begin the third trimester I have been hit with a truck size load of worries, fears, and insecurities. I am coming [...]

{Erin}  The first step toward recovery is admitting you have a problem. I have a problem. A problem with purses. Yes, I picked my baby bag out long before I was pregnant!  I am a mama-to-be so I’m sure my purse is more than likely unpractical, overpriced, and more for me than my baby!! With [...]
