Having a baby girl on the way means that we will be stocking up on all sorts of things that we need to make life perfect for all of us. I will be the first to admit that with Broxton, I had to sort of learn as I went when it came to certain things...   This time around I do hope to be a bit more prepared.  One thing I did learn was that just because I thought I knew what I wanted to do, it might not work out that way for us when it actually came down to it.  (Example, Marc knew the diapers he wanted to use, but once I tried them, I was not a fan, so we tried again until we found the ones that worked great for us!)  This time around, I am prepared to explore and learn and grow wit...

I am 10 years older than my baby brother.  When he was born, I thought it was one of the happiest days of my life.  I remember going to the baby showers for him and being excited to see all the cute things we were getting to welcome him home. It was like a little boy baby doll that I was going to get to play with!  I also remember going to a sibling class of sorts and getting a shirt saying I was the big sister.  Pretty cool!  One thing that has always stuck out in my mind? One of my moms friends giving me a couple little gifts for me.  I honestly don't remember what it was, but I know one thing was one of those big lollipops... and a giant chocolate chip cookie.  The thing about it?...

I think I might have loved her more because of her red hair, but I don't know.  All I know is I love that a character from my childhood is still around today!  (Even if they have changed a bit over the years!)   Is your house a fan of Strawberry Shortcake? Join Strawberry Shortcake and some new furry friends in these delightful “tails” about being yourself and encouraging others to do the same.

Check out a few must see movies:   First Up - The Best of Me - based on the book by Nicholas Sparks.  Enough said right there, but in case you need more information:      Based on the #1 New York Times Best Seller from celebr...

It is called Kid to Kid and it is a resell shop.  Kid to Kid has several locations, but this was for the grand opening of the one in Dunwoody, Georgia.  If you follow me on Twitter, I shared with you the event, so you can't say you were not told about it.  Also, I even shared a few photos on Instagram as well. They had a guy there making Balloon things... I can't say balloon animals, because it was so much more.  He made an Ariel you would love as well as a Ninja Turtle and other amazing creations.  I was VERY impressed!   Anna and Elsa from Frozen were even there and to add to the exciteme...
