When I was pregnant with my son 4th son, little Henry, we received the softest, most delicious swaddle blanket I had ever held… it was from aden + anais. I was a fan from first touch (as was Henry) of his green Wishing Star Swaddle Blanket. Out of all my sons, Henry was my swaddle [...]
On Good Morning America and Nightline tonight! Tune in!
I shot this segment a little over a month ago, and truthfully, after I shot it… I hoped (and prayed!) that it would eventually air. You just never know with TV segments, so much can change at the last minute, that you never really get excited until you see it ON AIR. Well, this morning… [...]
