Ellie’s rapidly closing in on five months old and there have been some big changes! We quit swaddling her cold turkey and so far things are going great. We also got the OK from her pediatrician to introduce solid food, and we decided to start with bananas. After a [...] 
I hate pumpkin pie. It’s not the flavor I have problems with, it’s the texture. Custards just completely gross me out.

There’s just something about Oreos I [...] Until I saw this post over at Brown Eyed Baker, I had never heard of Black Bottom Cupcakes.
