My Shanti Uganda Baby Shower

This past Saturday was my baby shower. Since this is my second child, I didn't need a lot of things so I decided to utilize the opportunity to fund raise for a special charity...

My Best Life: It's Okay To Make Mistakes

Now that things have settled for our new family of four, I thought I would return to the My Best Life postings.

Inspired by SouleMama
