I have entered the world of maternity jeans–and it may surprise some of you to know that I love them! Oh that sweet elastic–my waistline thanks you. In fact, I may never go back to regular jeans again. No more zippers. No more buttons. This is where it’s at people! Jeans: Old Navy Maternity (on
So Long Old Friend
I was 10 weeks pregnant before I had the heart to finally pour out the opened bottle of wine that had been sitting on my countertop–untouched for weeks. So long old friend. But don’t worry–I’ll be back!
Dear Genevieve
Dear Genevieve,My good friend Mandy is so sweet and nice that I can’t believe she’s even friends with me. She is the mother of twin boys which means earlier this year they had to sell their charming–but sadly too small–home with a beautiful recently remodeled kitchen: To move into a bigger, more family-friendly home with–sadly–this
Pregnancy: Week 21
Aug 24-Aug 30 Twenty-one weeks and our baby is now the size of a cantaloupe! Since I don’t eat fruit I can never remember if that’s the orange one or the green one–but either way I know it’s a far cry from her poppy seed days. She should also weigh one pound by now–she’s graduated

Saltine Cracker Toffee Bars
If you like salty and sweet combinations, this recipe is going to blow your mind. My friend Drew made these for a get together we had a few weeks ago and it was love at first taste. As I was biting into my first one Drew said, “The nice thing about these bars is they’re

I mentioned in a previous post that I’ve been on a dress kick lately. Here’s another one I recently sported–my first maternity dress! This one came with a spaghetti string tie around the empire waist, but I’m not really a fan of those, so I changed it out for this pink and orange plaid tie-belt.
