One of my favorite things about your blog is all of the family pictures. Most of my pictures from my childhood had only mom or dad in it because the other parent was taking the picture so it will definitely be something I'll want to focus on when our little girl arrives! Also, I saw your last blog and had come across this website recently walkjogrun.net. I like to know the distance of my walks and you can map out the whole thing, don't know if you'd be interested or if it will work for your area but I thought I'd share.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Thank you! I love that kind of stuff so thank you so so much! I cannot wait for your little one to arrive. It's the ultimate sweetest experience ever! So excited for you!
Deletep.s. yes family pictures are a must. ha my husband is used to me asking random strangers 10+ times a day to take a picture! ha
