From the Editor:
My past month has been a whirlwind and quite sleepy. I honestly hope you've been getting more sleep than I have! I've made a special point to get Tiger Lily out on time to you, though, because I want to make sure you don't miss out on two awesome Valentine's specials! Read more in the product reviews section... you only have a couple of days left!
I'm featuring a couple of articles on elimination communication from my personal experience this month. And I'm shamelessly sharing pictures of my 3-month-old cutie Galen!
I'm very excited because the new year has started off well for my family (if somewhat sleepily...) - I've gotten a lot of work done making NBBC better for you, gotten lots of reading done, and the kids have been happy, playful, and a joy to parent (most of the time!) I hope you've found the new year going well for you thus far, and that the rest of it brings pleasant adventures for you and your little ones (or the little-one-to-be!)

Two important specials are going on for Valentine's Day. You still have time to take advantage of them.
