Harlow is 7 months old and she has not slept in this bassinette for at least five of those months. This photo of our bedroom was taken last week. Actually, it's a rather dishonest photo, all neat as a pin and with a sweet toy bird placed just so. I have altered the usual […]
Two years old, but on the precipice of three, life with Ziggy is…real. It's so real. But aside from his propensity for loud protest should a thing not be to his liking, this kid is a gem. Whip-smart and cheeky as they come. And always, always looking for another chance to snuggle on the […]
