I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day!  Ours was filled with mostly work (on some super exciting things I cannot wait to tell you about!) and some play with our little family. It finally feels like fall around these parts and this very pregnant mama is loooooving the cool down! Now that we’re back […]

Parents Magazine reached out to me a while back, asking me to participate in a challenge with four other bloggers– come up with an IKEA changing table hack and transform it into something with a totally different purpose.  With Ruby’s love of art and craft projects top of mind, I happily signed on!  Here’s what I […]
