I LOVE YOU, GOOD NIGHT
March 29, 2016 8 Comments
When I was a few months pregnant with my daughter, my husband bought I Love You, Good Night for me. He would read it to my belly every night and it has become one of our daughter’s favorite books since. It’s a sweet book where a momma tells her baby all the ways in which […]

Sleep. You know the saying “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”? Yeah, that was most definitely coined by a mom. Most moms don’t know the meaning of the word anymore.
