Dear Mom, thank you. Thank you for showing me what true love really looks like, and for not letting me settle for less. Thank you for teaching me what it means to be a family.

The lint catcher in my dryer is full of sunflower seeds which means baseball season is in full swing again. So why not do a post about all things American Pastime? First up, a few friends and I threw a vintage baseball themed baby shower last week for our friend Whitney.
