  • Weighing In

    Skyler had a check-up this morning, complete with another part of her flu shot, which is always fun! It was fairly uneventful (though you would think from her wailing that they were torturing her with 1,000 needles), but she got weighed and measured and she has gone through quite the growth spurt!

I’m blogging about this…

I know lettuce wraps are nothing new as an alternative to bread or…
