Steph
You do have the best links ever, you do a really fabulous job.
SO the open presents later thing…geez I just don’t know if I could do it even though I agreed with the article! And I loved the Give Me My Birth Back article.
Great links Steph
My SIL opened presents later at a recent couples shower and it was great! Took the pressure off the couple to oooh and aaah at everything and made things a lot less boring for everyone else. Love that idea!
And also, thanks for the shoutout!
Marriott is our favorite hotel for family vacations. My wife and I have our 20th wedding anniversary this September and would love to spend a week in Hawaii to celebrate!!
My sister told me yesterday that she’s planning to birth at home in her bathtub with this pregnancy. The more I think about it the better it sounds.
Great links!!! As always!!!
Loved the post about saving b-day gifts. We do it and it 100% works.
Thanks for sharing a link from Rosie Girl! I so appreciate it. Cheers, and I hope you and your family are well!

Wow did you see all the mean and snarky comments on the butter making blog? Sheesh, the man was just trying to share something helpful.
