My mind goes into inspiration overload and then I can’t decide what I plan on doing with the 1000s of […]
Afternoon mamas! The title of this post is pretty self explanatory, but I still wanted to share a little bit about myself to fully explain how I became the MAMARAZZI.

Crib – check! Car seat – check! Minivan – check! College Savings Plan – check! Life Insurance – oops!
