All my pants shrunk
The popular ‘Kids Meal’ will heretofor be called the “Kids/Prego Meal”. I crave cheese, and kids know how to do cheese right: grilled cheese, mac ‘n cheese, quesadillas…
3 of my good friends are pregnant which is more than awesome. I lent my pre-pregnancy pants to one of my friends so she can [...]

Preggo pants. *sigh*

TORRENTIAL downpour in my hood today, but couldn’t help swim by my local quilt store.
THIS had me salivating. Doesn’t it have new-baby-boy-crib-bedding written all over it? Oh, you should see my mind spinning right now.
