I was prepared to write a review on Fashion Week, but instead I’ve decided to address something that was brought up A LOT yesterday. As I mentioned earlier this week, I scaled down my Fashion Week attendance to one day this season. For reference, my new mantras are: Comparison is the thief of joy.

August is National Breastfeeding Month and today marks the end of National Breastfeeding week. In the spirit of this year’s theme, Charting The Course Together, I’m sharing my own breastfeeding journey. It’s pretty much impossible to discuss how my foray into breastfeeding began without disclosing a deeply painful personal story that began the night my first son Bear was born.

Click on any of the photos to be taken to the original posts with outfit details.…

Just kidding, I’m still no expert but I thought I would share some insight into what I’m bringing in addition to and my makeup bag now that I know what I know. Things are a little different this time, because after a less than ideal birth with my first son, I elected to have a scheduled c-section. I have…
Some of the best beauty booty you should add to your arsenal in your third trimester to help you through your final stretch and keep you comfortable in the hospital and post partum period can be found at a steal at your local pharmacy. I kid you not when I say one of the things that helped me most during labor with my first baby was a pack of wipes I bought for myself at CVS. These are also the…
