new
my name is bailey and this is my new blog. and this is my life.
i have a daughter, her name is macey. she is three and a half months old. she's amazing, she's beautiful, she's perfect. doesn't every mom think that about her daughter? my partner in life, his name is jackson. he's amazing too. he has his own construction business. and he's very handsome.hehe. we have two cats, breezy and bella, and we live in woodstock, ny. i am a stay-at-home mom and soon to be work-at-home mom. drum roll please - announcing - my new online baby boutique! it's called "with love..." and it will be opening... whenever i find some time!
the point if this blog is to review products that macey and i use daily. there are so many options when it comes to baby products and accessories. the things in my store will be products i know, love, and use myself. and as a disclaimer - some of the products will be ones that my close friends and family know, love, and use themselves. anyway, they will all be tried and tested and this blog will tell the adventure - good or bad.
another disclaimer - and i may be mixing business with pleasure here - this blog may be a little bit of a rant also. i find writing therapeutic so i'll probably use this opportunity to talk alittle about my life and what it is like starting a business with a baby, keeping a household, and keeping my man happy. or what it's like to do all those things badly! so tune in.. hopefully its not a trainwreck
with love...
