Our Minnesota Babies: Linna Jane & Jameson "Jimmy" Marshall

My name is Melissa Saigh (AKA "Mama Saigh"), and I'm the voice of the Minnesota Baby Blog.

This is my family's story.

The good. The bad. The ugly.

It's a real-life account of our adventures in parenting.

My husband (AKA "Papa Saigh") and I married on October 2nd, 2010, and we welcomed our first child, Linna ("LYNN-ah"), into the world on August 8th, 2011. Pretty good turn-around, huh?!

We bought our first home in Minnetonka, MN in April 2010, and in August 2012 our family spent three months in Singapore for Papa Saigh's job. Three months turned into three years, and we made the decision to sell our Minnesota home, making frequent visits back to Minnesota from Singapore. In October 2015, we officially moved back home to Minnesota, and welcomed Baby Saigh #2 (Jameson "Baby Jimmy") on November 14th, 2015.

Before babies, I worked in television and radio for seven years, and I still make time to enjoy this passion while being a stay-at-home mom.

This is our story, told by me, Mama Saigh.

It's honest, it's our life, and I hope you can find time to enjoy our crazy ride.
