Preparing for the arrival of this little one meant pulling out all of our old baby feeding gear that Emily has long outgrown. I can't believe how much I hung on to! I remember the first year of Emily's life pretty well, especially as it relates to the annoyances of breast and bottle feeding.

Bullet Journal Handwriting Hack
How beautiful did my writing come out for this February header? What about this weekly spread? Well I have a confession to make.. I made it on my computer! (gasp) I'm envious of all of you with beautiful calligraphy handlettering, and I'm putting in the time to practice my handwriting to get mine there.
