My maternity workout regime consists of walking...and more walking...lots of walking. I would attend a prenatal yoga class, but that would mean spending extra $, driving 20+ minutes to a studio, and finding the time to go without my daughter. I would go running, but I'm not the type to run marathons with a belly. […]
Pregnancy "only" lasts nine months. Thus, it's hard to justify buying an entirely new wardrobe for such a short span of time. I prefer to buy a few fantastic maternity items that I can wear all nine months with ease. That's why Maggie Maternity's Classic Maggie Box ($195) is so ingenious. It consists of four […]
As many of you know, I attended BlogHer '08 in San Francisco this past July. My husband and I had just discovered we were pregnant (much to our delight) the night before my departure...and I felt myself slipping into the land of nausea shortly thereafter.

Mama Knows Breast: Adventures […]
Home decorating is not my strongest suit. I do manage (with the help of my husband) to maintain a tidy and warm home, but the decor isn't spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. It's rather simple and clean-looking with a western flair. That said, I do have two favorite pieces of art...both are hanging […]
I'm picky and choosy when it comes to clothes for my 2-year-old daughter. They don't have to be posh and pricey and celebrity-inspired (in fact, I'm happy if they're not any of those things...). My stipulations are seemingly much simpler. I look for clothes that are: Well-made Machine-washable Modern Chic/Cute Appropriate Non-branded Comfortable (my daughter […]
If you know me "in real life," then you're sure to have seen me in my Bridget-1 hoodie by Childish maternity. I know I wear it a lot. Sorry if you're getting bored by my rarely-changing attire. I have my favorites and I stick to them. My cuter, more fashionable self will reemerge after baby […]
