Backyard Beauty
Happy Monday!
I am pleased to say that Tommy and I are probably 90% moved in to our new home. I still have 5-6 boxes I need to go through in the guest room and we still have a few shelves, pictures, and paintings to hang up on the walls, but it’s slowly coming together! (Of course this doesn’t count normal house projects that especially seem to come up when you purchase a home – building shelves in a hallway closet, putting up a fence in the backyard, putting some wallpaper in certain rooms, but you know, baby steps!)
A couple of months ago Silk Plants Direct, a silk flowers and plants retailer, reached out to me to see if I’d be interested in reviewing any of their products. [Read more…]

To Breastfeed or Not to Breastfeed – my story
Happy Monday folks! Hope you are feeling refreshed and reenergized after a weekend away (hopefully) from the hustle and bustle of work. I am fresh off a week-long work visit in Tucson and a weekend in LA celebrating my dear friend’s baby shower for her first baby – a girl – due in October!
Even though Ava is 2-years-old so it has been a minute since I last breastfed, the same conversations around breastfeeding seem timeless. [Read more…]
