Living a dairy free life….. for now. HELP!

I’ve started eating dairy free because it seems that little Cal gets the toots when I eat anything delicious.

When Gwynnie Met Cal

One of my biggest anxieties was how Gwyneth was going to react to her new baby brother. Would she be confused? Would she hate him? Or would she be overjoyed? Would she even care? I just didn’t know. As I was “OoOing” and “awwwing” over my freshly born son… Little Gwyn was just outside our […]
