What a Difference a Year Makes

One year ago today, I was sitting in a hospital room waiting to go home with my baby after giving birth two days earlier. And, then the day took a turn for the worse. I had delivered four weeks early because I had developed severe preeclampsia. And, my blood pressure wasn’t returning to safe levels. […]

What Was I Thinking?

Hello, my fellow sweet shoppe friends… Rebecca here with today’s post, titled – What Was I Thinking?  hahaha…  When I told my plan to the SSD Babes and Designers (and the reason why I was going to be scarce for a few days)… they all told me I was nuts! Many of you probably remember […]
