From what I understand most babies and toddlers don’t like to wear hats or gloves. Bella loves them. She’s been begging me to put her gloves on and wears them around the house. Also she can put on her favorite knit hat (made by my...
1. Claritin. I love it. I’ve been suffering from my allergies since near the beginning of my pregnancy. Seriously, people were avoiding me in church, saying, “I know you have a cold,” when I knew very well I’ didn’t...
