I decided not to get a dedicated diaper bag, but sweet Aron found me a beautiful Michael Kors Gansevoort tote on ebay that I’d be much happier carrying and converting into a diaper bag. Really any bag can do as a diaper bag with the addition of a Skip Hop Pronto Changer or a conversion […]

Alyson of Unruly Things asked me to guest post while she’s on maternity leave. (Have you seen her new little man, Wolf? Adorable!) I picked out a cute outfit that would meet my requirements for nursing-friendly wear–but which I’d happily wear anytime. Stop by and check it out! And while on the subject of good […]

It’s not news, but it’s worthy of yet another recommendation: the BellaBand. This stretchy fabric band has been a lifesaver and it’s still working for me, letting me wear non-maternity pants and slightly-too-short shirts at nearly 33 weeks into my pregnancy.

Someone asked me recently about where I found my maternity jeans. Finding a good pair has been the biggest wardrobe challenge so far (I have put Aron through more try-on sessions than I’d like to admit); but after first deciding that there is too much lycra in the Gap Always Skinny jeans, I’ve […]

My family is hosting a California baby shower for me and I’ve been struggling a bit with the “what to wear” question–as I’m sure everyone with a suddenly rotund belly does. I’m not finding many dresses to my liking. (Why do so many have bows over the belly? My parents called the new grandchild a […]

American Apparel has equally affordable, domestically manufactured basics for kids and babies. (As long as we don’t see their assless tights in size 2T, this is great!)
