Now that we are inching out of the fourth trimester, I think it is about time our sweet new addition made her Something Pretty debut! Meet Emilia Jane Kirk, who arrived on November 21. I had heard from countless women that third labors are quick, and mine was no exception to that! I fully expected […]

Although I have been admittedly quiet on here this year, once a blogger, always a blogger :) I have been having so much fun creating content for the Maylis blog, The Daily, and wanted to shout out some recent holiday-themed posts.
