Since most of you have now taken down your Christmas trees and other holiday accoutrements, I’m pretty sure there is a bit of a gap in your decorating, yes?

Oh Come Let Us Adore Him for blog post

Okay, so the baby shower for my dear friend was last night. Funny how the scent and snuggliness of a newborn is always so incredibly intoxicating.  (Insert happy sigh here).
