Giveaway: Home Décor Items from Bedly!

Who wouldn’t want to live in a beautifully-decorated home?
While many of us would like to think that we have a good eye for home décor, the truth of the matter is that not all of us do.

A Day in the Life… (Part One)

Ever since I became a mother of “two under two,” I have received a few requests for a “Day in the Life” post, detailing what a typical day is like for me.
Better late than never, right?
This post chronicles the first half of Monday, April 2, 2012. Claire had just turned 18 months old, and Aerin 5 months.
