  2. For those of you who may be contemplating buying the Apple Watch 2.
  3. How darling is this Teddy Bear cake from my friend Rebecca’s baby shower on Sunday?!fullsizerender-3
  4. Glad that a restaurant in my hood got a great review from Bitches Who Brunch. You may remember that Tommy, Ava, and I stopped at Junction ourselves during their Soft Opening.

Have a great day!

Key Baby Items for Ava

A lot of people in my world are having babies right now! It’s hard to believe that only 16 months ago I hadn’t yet earned the title “mom” and was doing my own reading and research on baby-related items, topics, and questions and now I’m being asked to share my “mommy wisdom”.
