Shortly before we left for vacation, I decided to buy an umbrella stroller to take on the trip. Kathryn was bringing a car seat on the plane with her but no other equipment so I thought a stroller might be good. We could stroll around or just use it to sit Katelyn in at the […]

I finished some burp cloths a week or two ago for a friend’s son whose first baby was about to be born. They turned out really cute I thought and someone had asked me to post a picture, so I don’t have to be encouraged too much to do that! I used a couple of […]
