When I was pregnant with our second daughter, my husband and I attended a birthing class. With my first daughter, I suffered from severe depression both during and after my pregnancy.

A good friend of mine just sent out a Facebook status update in utter panic after her 2.5 year old boy hadn’t napped for the previous 2 days. She was desperate for him to hang on to it and reached out to us moms for help and support. Love that about Facebook! Well, we all [...]

I won’t lie; I’m still struggling with that last ten pounds. In fact, I’m struggling with the second five pounds — I keep gaining and losing those same five pounds over and over. And while I’ve started a pretty strict running regimen and totally enjoy the solitude of it, I still want to do something [...]

Handbags and I have always had a love affair. Whenever I travel, I always buy a new bag. Typically it tends to be something reflective of where I’m at. A visit to a coastal town? A kitchy, handmade bag that can also be used at the farmers market. A trip to the city? Something big [...]

Here’s the thing about baby soaps and shampoos: they all smell the same. I grew up in the decade of Johnson & Johnson baby bath and No More Tears Detangler…….if I try really hard, I can still smell that stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stuff, but after a while a girl just [...]

Written by my sis, Adele, who is chronically tired, or as we say in the south, “taared.” I live in a state of exhaustion. As a full time working mother of two, one of whom is only 10 months old and not yet sleeping through the night, my sleep is not what it should be. [...]

I just found the David Lerner Collection – have you heard of him? Talk about great basics with style and flare, but still basic enough to look effortlessly stylish not fussy or trying too hard.

I’m a little heartbroken. My youngest is no longer an infant. She’s walking that baby Frankenstein walk, straight kneed, all around the house. She even turns corners by looking to her side and hoping her feet will follow. So it pains me a little to tell you about this sling, the Simply Good Snugly Sling, [...]
