Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

Congratulations Toni and H.
I know newborn boys are associated with blue but can’t help thinking about how this is a yellow ribbon moment because of the date!

Now she’s just a delightful little thing and so are you to your mom and dad. You were born on my mother’s birthday, how cool. You will be a very good kid. Now easy on your mom with the waking up in the wee hours…:)
