Well, I survived the week – thanks in part to my awesome sister-in-law who flew all the way from Utah to meet our new little addition.

In fact, if your girls are anything like mine, chances are they’ve been counting down for months. My daughter is such a huge High School Musical fan that we’re hosting a HSM2 premiere birthday [...]
