I'm so not a morning person, but I'm learning how to cope at least. There's something beautiful about mornings, especially when routines and happy babies are involved. I'm starting to cherish mornings. They're best spent relaxing and tending to home. I try my best not to dive into online tasks at the start of the… Read More »

Mija Style: Child of Mine by Carter’s Spring Collection

February 8, 2016 in Girl's Fashion, Pregnancy & Baby - 13 Comments

Spring will be here before we know it and I'll soon find myself shopping for baby girl clothes.
