My favorite kid moment was when my little cousin said she’d like to have a "convinsation" instead of a conversation with my grandmother. We didn’t want to correct her because she was just too cute, trying to be a grownup, and we wanted to hear all the fun things that she had to say.
At The Bump, Mary-Anne writes fun, creative baby name descriptions. Not only does she write these short, sweet sentences, but she also researches the content that is produced. Outside of work, you'll find Mary-Anne rollerskating, traveling, and finding that perfect little coffee shop.
