Must Haves For An Expectant Mother

In my 35 years I have been to many-a baby shower. I have had 2 for my own babies, and I have hosted a handful myself.

Camilla is beginning her last year in Pre-K this year and then it’s off to big school (which I can’t even wrap my mind around how I am going to just drop her off at somebody’s elementary school!).  For now Cami is rockin’ the hallway of her preparatory academy Pre-K wing and she is doing it in style! Just because most days she has to wear a uniform to school, doesn’t mean she has to be boring!
