Welcome to February. New Year, new journal picture. While I was looking for the picture to use in this post, I was excited that for my 2016 journals, I'll be using a new picture.

[Also, a link to subscribe to my Sweet Potato Mail is at the end of this Read More
So, we're back from our trip to Austin, Texas! It was my first time traveling with an infant, and boy, have I learned some lessons! I'll blog about this next time, but for now, let me tell you about our travel. We left on Friday, January 29th and came back on Sunday, January 31st. It was on Thursday night that I looked at my email closely and almost lost it: our flight was at 6:40 AM. What the heck was I thinking when I booked this flight??? First, I didn't go to be till past 1 AM. Then I Read More
