Shout® helps you deal with new baby stains Pregnancy is a blessing I am grateful to be experiencing for the fourth time. That being said, pregnancy offers its share of challenges. Heartburn, having to get up multiple times in the night to go to the bathroom and general discomfort to name a few. Another big challenge for me is keeping my belly free of stains. It seems that whatever I'm eating doesn't just end up in my belly...it ends up on my belly too! I just cannot sit close enough to ...

Tuesday morning I was awoken by my ...

Hudson Turns Two
Hudson turned two on April 16 and I am just now getting around to documenting it. Just looking at the pictures, I can see he has already changed. The weather was iffy on Hudson's birthday and we didn't have any specific plans. We picked Eleanor up from school and daddy from work and had lunch at Culver's. Ice cream and cheeseburgers for the birthday boy--his favorite! Ross and I decided, since it turned out to be a beautiful day that we should head to the Milwaukee Zoo. Spring in Wisconsin ...
