    Matt has the sweetest parents they drove all the way to the airport to pick them up how nice most parents wouldn't.

    The best thing my dad did once I got married and had a baby was to never ever make us feel guilty about spending time away from him. He always said we should worry about ourselves first and not worry about sharing time. That automatically made us want to spend MORE time with him and maybe less with those that made us feel bad!

    I was married young and did Christmas with everyone for years. Especially now that you have a baby keep the holidays to your family. It’s so much less stress and you can enjoy your little family more. After 16 years I’m finally doing that and I don’t actually dread Christmas this year for the first time ever.

    Super useful parenting tip I was once given…If the baby is being exclusively breastfed (no formula, baby food, or “real” food) then the sun can remove poop stains! Every time my babies had a blow out during the first six months of their life, I’d just hang their clothes out in direct sunlight. Always worked!

    When you left the terminal in St. Louis and it was 30 ° that was aheat wave, St. Louis was -6° with a wind chill of -32° just a few days later, so I'm guessing you were in St. Louis to enjoy that arctic cold. I know you are missing your warm Arizona weather. Later this week it will be in the 50's so hopefully you will still be in town when it warms up. Have a good visit with your family.
