September 9, 2011

I scheduled this post before my baby arrived. If you are reading this while nursing, rest assured that I am also either unsnapping my nursing bra or just snapping it back up.

One of my favorite people in the world, Ella, is the rookie mom to three-month-old fraternal twins. I’ve been beyond excited to have her join the ranks of parenthood with two little ones at once.
