Filed Under: Personal & Life Updates 2 Comments

I’ve long been a fan of Allie’s fabulously useful website, The Greenists (formerly Allie’s Answers) which is all things sustainable and eco-friendly. Allie is an absolute doll, but I’ll be honestRead the whole post >>

Adventures in Apartment Hunting. Be Jealous.

I’m back from a lovely vacation with Mike’s family (his parents, two brothers and their wives, and five nieces and nephews) at a beach house in South Carolina. What did vacation look like? It was… Waking up early to the sun streaming in through our shutters and lilting children’s voices. Both a blessing (more timeRead the whole post >>

 Twenty-five weeks. How far along? 26 weeks, 2 days. AKA: ALMOST SIX FREAKING MONTHS. This is the last week of my second trimester. WOAH. How big is baby? Nearly two pounds and fourteen inches long.
