There's this gross cough going around where I work, and I caught it. Sadly, there's no good medicine I can actually take for a cough/chest congestion/runny nose, so I wound up in labor & delivery over the weekend and was just released tonight.
Basically, the...

My goal was the have Audrey's nursery complete by the end of the year. While it's still missing a few elements, I'm excited to say that if I go in labor today – she will come home to a room that looks done and is now finally clean.
I didn't do a mood board for this room. I'm not sure if this hurt or helped me in...

I know a lot of people don't get Black Friday, but I'm not one of those people.
I am obsessed with getting the best bargain possible, so naturally Black Friday and I have a very strong courtship. I've had my tentative Black Friday list since finding out I was pregnant, and I've been saving ever since, because I...
