Introducing Whole Milk

OK, so Madeline is now officially ONE!! How quickly that year did fly by! Now that she’s a year old, she can have all sorts of things she wasn’t allowed to have (ie. milk, sugar, cake, ice cream, yikes!). I think it’s odd to have this as a milestone, although it does [...]

WSJ article inspired by one of our own!
