A few words about Amazon

Thanks to those of you who bought our book this month! We still think it makes the perfect baby shower or new mom gift. Among the swaddles, white noise machines, and baby food prep devices, a few of you bought the pair of flamingos. Pictured above. Hee hee.

Moving on… we have a few things in the works for October already:Â more Fearless Fridays, more Halloween planning, the actual Halloween, my very own diaper drive, and a ton more rookie mom adventures.
