This past spring we were doing a lot of baby sitting for my sister-in-law as she had frequent doctor visits with her high-risk pregnancy. Finally she left the ExerSaucer at our house so she wouldn’t have to lug it back and forth. Now she...
I guess this is a milestone. Bella is letting me get enough sleep at night that I finally had enough energy yesterday to tackle the kitchen and give it the thorough cleaning I’ve been dying to do for months. I started just after breakfast. It...
