I wrote this a year ago and I haven’t had the guts to publish it until now. It’s a very vulnerable story and not necessarily something I want to dwell on, but it’s an important one. Recently a good friend of mine ended his life in suicide–consider this a tribute to him and to HG …

When BabyCubby.com reached out to me about doing this post, it was a match made in heaven. Browsing through their site I quickly realized I own and love many of the products they sell-making this very easy. I had already been working out a post in my mind about some of my favorite baby essentials …
I\’m still processing this birth, but I like to write everything down as soon as I can so I don’t forget anything. I\’m just not ready for it all to be over yet. The pregnancy yes, but the birth was so quick! Monday, the 26th I scheduled a stretch and sweep with my midwife (Lyndi …
