I am in love with the weather today. After I got home from a meeting this afternoon I tried my hand at working from my deck – because I’m looking a little paste-y these days. Just call me Mrs. Needs-A-Tan. Needless to say, working from your deck while trying to get some sun doesn’t work out so hot – mostly because the sun makes the glare on your laptop quite difficult to actually get any work done...Continue reading at…

Remember a couple of weeks ago when I said I was in love with the new maternity store at the MOA? Remember when I said how great it was, that they give you free snacks and that they had some really great pieces? Well, it was true, I definitely was/am in love with that store. And then I made the mistake of thinking that maybe maternity stores aren’t so bad...continue reading…

1. It’s Friday – in case you didn’t know already – and it’s hotoutside. A full blown ninety degrees with lots o’ humidty for the hair. Does this mean that it’s going to be a crazy hot summer? Because if we are…well, in the words of Elle Woods: I object. Maybe the weather gods just can’t make up their mind on the temperature again. And should also stop watching Legally Blonde once a month. Moving on...Continue reading at …

Spring has officially sprung and it’s time to pack away all of those heavy winter clothes. Between you and me, I never bothered to do such a thing until last year, after both of my children had growth spurts, which caused newly purchased clothes to over-crowd their dressers and closets. My original intention was to just gather the clothing they’d outgrown and donate it to charity, but as I went through…

Easter is coming. I love Easter. The pastel colors mainly. And spring.

I have fond memories of Easter as a kid, hunting for our Easter basket, finding plastic eggs in the yard, getting dressed up for Easter brunch after attending mass. I loved my spring dresses and when I had the boys, it was the pinstripe collars and …

Every fashionista knows that layering is an essential part of the cooler seasons. Once the temperature drops, our main concern is keeping our little girls warm, not chic. Here are the rules my sister and I follow when layering…

Listen to Your Gut, Not Your Husband

Today I was supposed to get lots of things done, so many things that I would marvel at how much I got accomplished. It was a bust. My to do list is just as long as it was yesterday and now I have to cram everything into four days. The only surprise was that my daughter took some pictures of me, and I will be sharing two today. Now the pictures I have been posting have not been the best and I apologize for that. Number one rule for fashion blogs is HAVE GOOD PICTURES (sorry Rosie). I keep on…

Don’t let the title discourage you from reading. Let me explain.

I always enjoy meeting and connecting with new readers. Sure it’s nice to know people are listening to what you have to say, but it’s wonderful to hear what others are talking about. Occasionally I’ll discuss a topic others are discussing as well, but mostly I share random thoughts in my head. Life just happens and no two stories are truly alike.

I always take notice of the search engine terms that bring people to…

I have never had a problem with cleaning out my children's rooms.  I have never had a problem with putting things away that they had outgrown.  Whether it was toys or clothes, I had not one problem with putting it away.  Until now.  Continue

The rampant heterosexism in our society has never been more clear to me than since I’ve had C.  Yes, I dress my son in blue, green, brown, black and red.  He doesn’t own any pink shirts; but when he’s old enough to pick out his clothes and tells me he wants a salmon-colored polo, I’ll let him wear it.  If he wants to wear this costume on Halloween, I’d buy it for him and proudly stand with him like this awesome mother did.  I…

What mom hasn’t gotten that frantic phone call from their kid at school – “Mom, I forgot my ________!"  You can fill in the blank with any variety of items - homework, lunch, violin, lacrosse stick, glasses - whatever can get left behind usually does at one point or another.

Maternity Shopping Tips

I just pulled my last pair of maternity pants out of my closet to stow, and I have to say I'm a little sad to see them go. I LOVED wearing maternity pants! The first time I tried them on I squealed with excitement from the fitting room. Shopping for maternity clothes is no easy business, and there's a lot of poor advice online. Think about it; you're shopping with an expanding waistline for 3 seasons. Pregnant…
