July 3, 2017

Goooood morning friends! Happy Monday! I know. No one is excited for Monday. I think it can be universally agreed that Monday is one of the most hated days of the week. (Sorry, Monday- you just are.) I know that this particular Monday is a […]

I Love Dairy, but I Love My Daughter More

I’m a Mama Blogger- Joining the Blogosphere

June 4, 2017

Ya’ll. I’m doing it. Starting a mama blog. Hitting “publish” on this and then sharing on social media was probably the most uncomfortable I’ve been in a while (and I’m only 9 weeks removed from having a baby, which is pretty darn uncomfortable). I’ve always […]
