Jazz Up Your Baby’s Wardrobe With Jazzy Toes: Stylish Socks That Look Like Shoes
As I held my husband’s hand during my ultrasound and heard the technician announce, “It’s a boy!” I was overjoyed as I pictured a sweet little boy who looked like my husband playing with me and his Daddy. But afterwards in a baby store, I felt a little pang of jealosy when I saw all […]
