So when Boden approached me about showcasing a mommy+baby fall look, I was delighted to pick out an outfit for Harper and me. I love that Boden has a baby line too! Don't ...

She is definitely chunking up nicely ...

It was a funny feeling getting all dressed up after months of wearing nothing but comfy shorts, tees and flip flops (hello maternity leave!) The ...

I'm so lucky to have such great friends at work and a few even gave me welcome back cards and wrote notes on my white board, it was so sweet. I think I haven't had a meltdown yet because I know Harper is being cared for by her daddy and she ...
