How to Create the Perfect Christmas Card
This weekend, the BetterinBulk family set out to create the perfect Christmas card picture.

What I Don’t Remember
I have fond memories of my first 5 years, though truthfully I don’t actually remember many specific instances from my early childhood. I just know that it was good….but not without trauma. I remember going to ballet class. I remember being at my Grandma’s house and watching my great grandma fall down the stairs after…

Smile Like You Mean It
KitKat has always had a beautiful smile. She is confident and kind, and smiles openly and frequently. But she has spent many years being self conscious of her smile. When her teeth came in, it became very clear that she was going to take after her daddy’s side of the family. She was cursed with…
