I received a gift card from Marshalls in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. Did you know September is the month with the most births in the U.S.? According to The Daily Viz, the days between September 9-20 are the most popular birthdays in the United States over the past twenty years.

Grace is 3
Grace is 3… and what an incredible three years it has been. I could not be more grateful to be her mother. She is kind, sensitive, and endlessly curious. She is full of spirit and compassion. She loves trucks, farms, creatures, stickers, rocks, art projects,…

Today: Revisiting the pre-baby to-do list.
A little while back, I shared my pre-baby to-do list. Since then, I accomplished most items and added about seventy more. We’re currently in “Is he coming today?” mode, to the point that I can convince myself just about anything– from an eyelid twitch to…

Today: Halloween 2015 | A strawberry and a lobster.
