Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

When you have children, you make certain sacrifices. And of course when you look into those smiling faces, it is all worthwhile.

Back in February, I reviewed the Cuddoozle Nursing Pillow.  I gave the pillow rave reviews back then, but I didn't truly appreciate it until after my recent c-section.  I was able to prop the wide arms of the pillow on either arm of my glider chair and use the included Cuddoozle ...
