The Last of the Firsts
This post is sponsored by Carter’s; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. I'm about to get all sorts of emotional over this girl. My last baby.

Real Life: The Not-So-Perfect Cookie Afternoon
Happy February! I can't believe January is already over. 2018 just started and it's already flying by.

Little Milestones I Don’t Ever Want to Forget
I know I talk about this all the time, but it seems like this whole "growing up thing" is way more emotional with the last baby than it was with the first two.
