There’s No Point in Modesty…

…not when you’re the Mama of this: Wherever I go with Lil’ G…people tell me how gorgeous she is. Many will say, “I don’t often think other people’s baby’s are cute, but she is just adorable. It can be kind of weird, we’ll be out somewhere and someone will come up to me saying, “I’ve…
