happy friday + mama mode...

Happy Friday folks! I've been in full-time mama mode and loving it. There's been lots of transition lately as we've started implementing a eat/play/sleep schedule for Ruby. She's reached 8 weeks already & trying to get some good habits established as she gets closer to being ready for sleep training {I can't wait to sleep through the night again!}. I've also started the arduous task of looking for a part-time nanny so that I can work a bit more uninterrupted a couple days a week. While there are so many great people out there, it's definitely tough finding the right fit. Someone younger and super energetic but balancing their career and taking care of kids as a side job? Or someone older who has kids of her own and caring for little ones is somerthing they'll do forever? Any advice on magic sleeping tricks or finding the right nanny fit, mamas out there?

Also, Congrats to Edith from Paris, France (#353) for being the winner of our Castle giveaway! We have a a handful more gift guides and two more giveaways coming before Christmas! Have a great weekend folks! — Joy
