Ten minutes is a precious commodity in the life of a new parent. Think of all the things you can do in that very short period of time: shower (!), check your email, pay your bills online, empty the dishwasher, call your best friend, clear the drain of all that hair you're shedding, paint your toenails, savor a cup of coffee or tea . . . But where on EARTH will you find ten minutes for all of these gloriously luxuriant activities I speak of, you ask?
Over the last year or so, there has been much discussion on Ain't No Mom Jeans about the value of skinny jeans. I would dare say that many of you are under the assumption that skinny jeans should only be worn by size 2 gals. While I've always disagreed (I think skinny jeans can be flattering on a range of body types/sizes)....well, for many of you, the love wasn't there.
But a picture is worth a thousand words, no? And no one can dispute that FashionAddict looks great in her skinnies.
Gang, meet Rumi, the author of the Fashiontoast blog. This blog, if you've never followed it, is one of my go-to blogs for inspiration. It's gorgeous. Her blog is how I want to dress if I don't have to run around at the playground. Or bend over and pick up a kiddo. Or go to work. Think lots of...
With our firstborn, we hemorrhaged money as we sought out the “best” and most complicated baby accoutrement available. Being inexperienced with kids in general, I was totally unaware that, given a choice between a piece of Tupperware and a lights and bells-make-your-baby-brilliant-machine, most babes would happily have the Tupperware any day of the week.
Isn't this a cute pic? Don't I look well-rested and happy? Snort.Happy, yes, but I haven't been well-rested in over two years. And the photo (originally) showed it. So I retouched all of the bags and wrinkles out of my eyes. I'd post the "before" shot, but really, I'm too vain. Trust me - it wasn't pretty. At...
Caro, the author of one of my very favorite blogs, It Looks Good To Me, waxes nostalgic on the denim-on-denim trend. Denim on denim can be tricky, but so comfortable and chic when done well. I especially love a super-soft chambray shirt paired with darker jeans.
In her blog, Caro shows several denim-on-denim pics for inspiration (including this one from...

Dads, let’s face it. You're shopping last minute: you need something fast and you need something shiny. . . Worry not. I'm a magpie-like connoisseur of shiny objects and here I submit a few suggestions for you to offer up to your beloved baby mama.
My husband is trying to find me a present. I know this because he submitted a question to "Ask Ain't No Mom Jeans". I think he thought it would be anonymous somehow. In any case, he was getting desperate. His highly creative Google search of "wife christmas" yielded (in addition to a link to the 1988 Julie Harris movie,...
What do I get for this incredible guy who is everything to my two tiny boys and me? Curbing my urge to hover, asking less, understanding more and some sugar would probably go a long way, but I can’t wrap those up and put them under the tree, so I’ve attempted to find some cool things to help my dear husband slow down this frenetic pace our life has set and take some time out for himself.
