My new fashion role model is Holly

May 17, 2013

I struggle with figuring out what to wear. Before kids, I didn’t know. And ten years after buying this What Not to Wear book (and gestating three humans) I sure don’t know any better. So, I’m on a quest to figure out my style along with realistic, affordable ways to get there without shopping. And [...]

I ran into this little one (third daughter from beloved atmosphere blog) on the veranda at the Mom2 summit. She’s three months old today and celebrating her special day by sleeping in the arms of anyone interested in holding her.

Personalized Mother’s Day Cards (discount)

April 27, 2013

This is sort of advertise-y, but I love sending cards with my kids’ pictures on them. I’ve used Treat.com to send sympathy cards, birthday cards, and thank you cards throughout the year.

Marriage and parenting

April 24, 2013

First comes love, then come marriage, then comes baby, and then another baby, and then HOLY HELL what happened to us? When I was about to take my first maternity leave, a senior executive at the company where I worked called me into her office and then got misty-eyed as she told me how magical [...]

Why I love these custom birthday banners for kids

April 22, 2013

When I told Heather I was going to post about Minted’s adorable party decor for kids, and we discussed if birthday banners are called garlands or buntings or simply “birthday signs”, this led to a phone call during which we were both browsing Pinterest looking at mushroom garlands and going down a rabbit hole of [...]

Love or shove: the Nuroo baby-wearing shirt?

April 12, 2013

I wore my babies All The Time and used the ergo, BABYBJÖRN, fake-moby wrap, and whatever else I could strap to my person. So, what do you guys think about this baby-wearing shirt that promotes skin-to-skin snuggling without the need for another carrier? Okay, that picture is so cute that it almost makes me want [...]

Look what I made: Tie t-shirt for Julian
