Admittedly, in the earliest days, my husband and I employed a bit of “drop and run” strategy - we didn’t want to linger at the door and make it harder for him to detach.

He likes to go for walks with his … [Read More...] about Please Give Me One More Summer

Help! My House Is Overrun By Baby Gear
The truth is, babies don't actually need all that much. If you think about the work of a baby -- eat, sleep, poop, repeat -- the items required to accomplish those tasks are pretty minimal.
