It's about this time of year that my family members start asking me what I want for Christmas. Ben is a VERY last minute shopper so quick shipping is pretty much a must for him. I thought it could be helpful for some of you if I put together a handful of my favorite stocking stuffer and gift ideas that I've found on Amazon (for all th[...]
via @michellebeller After losing Stevie earlier this year I made two simple promises to myself. I promised I would get out of bed every day. And I promised I would get dressed every day.

They are both now at the age where we don't bring a stroller, we don't need to pack a million snacks, we don't change diapers-[...]
