Most of you know that I have a younger sister who I’m very close with who has lived in Germany with her husband and two kiddos for the last 2.5 years. On Saturday, after a wild few months (for them) trying to figure out when exactly they’d be moving back to the States, they finally landed in the good ole’… Keep Reading
Jillian’s Birth Story
I was fascinated by reading birth stories when I was pregnant with Hadley years ago, so I made sure to write down my own birth story with her and shared it here on the blog.
