Last year I blogged about the wreath I made for our front door because it was one of the most easiest, cheapest DIY’s I’ve ever done. (And there’s nothing like greeting people who walk into your home with ‘easy’ and ‘cheap’, right?) But this is the best kind of easy and cheap because it doesn’t look it AT ALL.

It’s hard to believe that 4 years ago I knew pretty much nothing about Down Syndrome and the thought of having a child with Down Syndrome never even crossed my mind. That is until our 12 week sonogram with our 4th child. At this appointment it was determined that we had a 1 in 10 chance of our little girl having Down Syndrome (DS).

For others, it can be a challenge and sometimes it’s not an option. Now, I don’t want to say that you have to breastfeed – please, just make sure that your baby is fed! But for me, as long as it...
