Themed Weekend: Waiting for Baby, Part I

I'm just about to enter the final month of my second trimester and I'm already feeling the "come-on-out-baby, I-want-to-meet-you" bug. Of course, I know that she still has a lot of growing to do and I want her to stay in there until she's good and ready. I'm just not a huge fan of pregnancy. […]

There's A New Printer On The Block...and it's very cool

Epson just released their newest printer...the Artisan 800 All-in-One ($299.99)...and it is fabulous. It's a 5-in-1 printer, meaning that you can do all of the following with just one machine: print copy scan fax ultra HD photo It also prints photos in as fast as 10 seconds (a fantastic feature for a scrapbooker like myself) […]

Themed Weekend: Household Hoopla

We just spent a wonderful week entertaining our friends Rob and Sandy, along with their 2 1/2 year old son and 1 month old daughter.

Feel Mod and Marvelous...in Maternity Clothes!

I already told you about my favorite maternity jeans. Now, I'm going to tell you about my favorite maternity top: the Bridget hoodie by Childish Clothing (on sale now for $34!). The Bridget top is made of a comfortable cotton/lycra blend and has front snaps that create an attractive v-neck. The top is long enough […]

Themed Weekend: Pretty & Pregnant

I never feel particularly pretty when I'm pregnant. I know that many women feel absolutely radiant and gorgeous as they expand, but I just feel rather dowdy. Inwardly, of course, I celebrate the miracle of life and am grateful for the opportunity to nurture it. At the same time, however, I mourn the loss of […]
