New Plans
To start out the month, I shared some ideas you should try for February's Why Don't You... list, some lovey-dovey, and others of a more practical vein. For this Valentine month, a romantic Dog Eared Page seemed especially apropo! The deceptively named Without Love was our romantic Film Flick for the month too. Plus, even through the spring seems far off, I can't help daydreaming about my Spring 2017 Wishlist!

We welcomed Ellis Jerome to our lives in late January! I shared his birth story this month, and you were able to virtually visit his new nursery.
