Little Ganache is doing so much better! At his four week checkup he weighed 7 lbs 10 oz – one ounce more than his birth weight. Look he even has a tiny double chin! Considering what his little body has gone through that is terrific news! No more saggy, wrinkly skin. Just very kissable cheeks, […]

In honor of National Book Lover’s Day today, here’s a recap of my favorite children’s book, Just David by Eleanor H. Porter.
