Having fun with a baby shower
I’ve been distracted the last couple of weeks planning a baby shower for DD#2. It’s been so fun! I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest looking for unique ideas. Both of my daughters and I are all researchers by nature. Before the internet, I would check out practically every library book in the…
