First Bath
So, we waited the obligatory amount of time for a belly button to appear and held our first bath this week. Big doin’s at the Stephens household! I keep trying to not over-purchase items we don’t need (as opposed to that firstborn child, where you’re certain you need every baby item and device that exists). … Continue reading »
Vote!
>Quick note: since Ainsley Belle joined our family on September 30, my October posts were pre-scheduled with a variety of topics I’d had on the burner for a while.

More blogging resources!
>Last month, I rambled a bit in a post about blogging in general based on conversations with several friends and family members who were starting and/or struggling with blogs. I stand by the statements that it is about self-expression, and worrying about who is reading (and how many readers you have) will get you all … Continue reading »

The Go Home Basket. Go get one. Go now.
>Known by many nicknames, the Go Home Basket has revolutionized my life and my quest for organization (per the 9/25 blog post). So much so, that I thought the GHB was deserving of a brief synopsis here. Please allow it a moment in the limelight. What is it?The Go Home Basket could undoubtedly have a … Continue reading »

Ainsley – 6 days old
Welcome home, Ainsley!
Ainsley Belle finally made her big debut last Thursday, September 30 – on her Aunt Jo’s 25th birthday. She arrived at 9:07 p.m. and it definitely wasn’t the smooth sailing of Sophie’s delivery, but everyone is happy and healthy and recuperating quickly. Bright-eyed just a few minutes after arrival! I love the way Sophie’s shoulders … Continue reading »
