Good morning!  I hope all you American Beauties had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.  The unofficial beginning of summer was so good to us here in Charleston.  The weather was beautiful and we took full advantage – I don’t think I missed a single moment of daylight.  Well, except when I was hungover on Sunday morning and my sweet husband fed Annabel at 7 and 11.  (Richard, if you are reading, that was awesome and I love you for it.)  Shots: always a mistake.  Who do I think I am, a childless twenty-something?  Geez….

Today is Annabel’s six-month birthday – how did that happen?!  It seems like just yesterday, I was in the depths of new motherhood: overwhelmed, sleep-deprived and lacking confidence of every kind.  I remember thinking, “well, maybe this summer will be fun, at least”.  I was on to something.  A baby-person I am not, but six months is such a yummy, fun age and I am loving every second of it.  Every week, my girl learns something new and becomes a stronger, happier little person.  It is amazing to witness and my heart just overflows with joy.  I know that sounds cheesy, but I don’t care because it’s the truth.  I’m just feeling very grateful lately.

I’ve been testing an awesome new baby product for the last two weeks, so stay tuned for a full review tomorrow.  Then, it’s back to Bare Beauty for grown-ups.  😉
