For Rosie's first birthday, my dad and stepmom got her this Guide Craft Kitchen Helper. This item was not on my radar at all (had no idea what it even was!) but has ended up being our most used item in the past 2 months!

I had A LOT of feelings on the topic (that I will spare you right now), but if you want to read my letter to Rosie, I published it here. Anyway, I absolutely love her age right now. She is walking, talking, and figuring it all out. I just love to watch her. I will always remember her belly laughs, when she reaches for my hand, how she kisses me when I am putting her down for a nap, or her holding up a "1" when we ask how old ... View the Post

Dear Rosie, Today is your first birthday! How can I put into words how much I love you? My love for you is unlike anything I have ever felt before. It is limitless, unconditional, and strong.
