I am sorry I have been such a terrible blogger this past week, but my husband was back in Jerusalem last week and he took his laptop with him and left me only with the iPad. Wow, I hate that damned thing. I fought with it for the better part of the week before [...]

I actually don’t think I need to. Is there a woman among us who doesn’t own a pair of Spanx? If there is, then she probably hasn’t ever been pregnant. As of this week, you can pre-order the new tops exclusively at Spanx.com. The tops line is cleverly called “On Top and In Control.” There [...]

Shopbop released its Spring Friends & Family code today and it is unfortunately only a paltry 15% (it was 25% last year). It almost makes you sort of miss the depths of the recession, doesn’t it?

So London was cold and icy and Leighton developed a nasty ear infection within several hours of our arrival…but it was still fabulous and injected me with a good bit of holiday spirit.  On Sunday night, there were even Christmas carolers at our door!  Due to the ear infection, we did not get to see [...]

Just a quick note to let you know that J Brand has expanded its maternity collection to include a maternity version of its popular straight-leg corduroys.  The waistband it already uses for its maternity denim collection is the same–the elastic is built into the waistband on the sides, providing a very discreet, under-the bump fit.

Throughout all of my pregnancies, I never was able to find a really nice maternity fleece that not only kept me warm on early morning or late evening walks to and from the gym but also didn’t make me look like a bowling ball.  I ultimately ended up buying a size XL fleece and just [...]

I am happy to say that you all may finally put away/give away/burn your Juicy Couture maternity hoodies because I have discovered an equally priced, yet infinitely nicer substitute at Nuka Maternity.  If there is justice in the world, pregnant women will no longer feel compelled to buy those brightly colored, slightly aggravating velour Juicy [...]
