When talks of planning my baby shower started to surface I knew two things – I didn’t want to be too involved, and I didn’t want anything too typical. I’m a total control freak with a set vision for just about everything in my life, so letting go of the reigns on this one was […]
WHAT. A. WHIRLWIND.
