Use promotional code “INTHEFAMILY15″ at checkout for 15% off sitewide today and tomorrow (Tuesday and Wednesday).

I have been waiting for weeks for today’s post because I feel I can now comfortably tell you all about the new UK-based maternity line Slacks & Co.

Pure T maternity shirts recently joined the ranks of my absolute favorite maternity basics. I unfortunately didn’t discover them until just after my own pregnancies, but I got my sister completely hooked on them.

I love white jeans. Always have, always will. In suburban New York City in the late 1980’s, they were a must-have and I have not gotten over it. I recognize they are not necessarily for everyone and I also recognize they are a bold fashion choice when one is pregnant, but I can’t help [...]
