happy birth day to Drew!!

I don’t have many details yet (or pictures!), but I am so excited that this morning my brother and sister-in-law welcomed their little boy into the world! His name is Drew, and he clocked in at 6lbs 6oz, 18 inches long. He also is quite the timely fellow, as he was born right on his due date!!

Afterwards we went down to Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta, where Savannah had the best time playing in the fountain! Here is a fabulous picture: I also…

movie screenings and playdates

About a year ago, I discovered a forum for “crunchy” moms living in Atlanta – cloth diapering, breastfeeding, babywearing, etc. I am very active on there, enjoying the friendships I have made with other like-minded local moms. They are a wonderful group of ladies, and have been so encouraging to me with all things Mommy! In January, I went to a playdate and met many of them in person, and since then I have made the effort to spend time…
