Have you ever wondered where the story or myth of the stork delivering babies came from? It seems like an odd little thing — a big white bird delivering babies. It seems there are a few different versions of how this little legend came about. One popular tale stems from the notion that the souls [...]

Wow! I can’t believe the “Ready for Baby” Virtual Baby Shower has come to a close and, at the same time, I’m excited because that means I get to announce some winners!!! I was slightly hoping that this post would be delayed because I would be in labor or just had the baby….but not the [...]
