It's been 2 weeks since we've been home with baby George and I'm constantly asking myself what life was before this little one.

But since week 37, I've cleaned out my entire bathroom, laundry room, placed one too many Amazon orders, reorganized my nightstand, decluttered my closet and have made a list for everything. The craziest part is that my "nesting mode" literally kicks in around 10:30 pm. I know what you're thinking...Austin is one lucky guy. ...

Summer is calling my name and it's always during this time of year when I start taking inventory of my sunglasses collection.
