September 2015 IRL – PREGNANCY edition part 2
| September 30, 2015 | Posted by Melinda under Mel's Life, Pregnancy |
Instead of 20 weeks in this month’s IRL of pregnancy adventures, it’s a mere 10. Mostly because the post was getting grumpy at how many pictures were required for weeks 21-30. You can expect weeks 31-40 to be October IRL post…which will include a guaranteed baby picture since one way or another she’ll be OUT […] more
Goals are good

Today I want to tell you how it came to be that I hooked Farley up a cart solo and went driving all by myself. Which happened to be Farley’s second drive ever, 8 months after she completed her first drive ever. It’s been awhile since Farley was last hooked to a cart. January to […] more
