Mamas, I went on a date. A real one. Where a babysitter comes to the house, the kids are excited to see her, and Mike and I walk out the door without a backwards glance - OR the baby. I'm in high heels and he's wearing a jacket. Like adults. Like real parents. It...
*******UPDATE - GIVEAWAY WINNER*********
Congrats to Heather Williams, the winner of our Dansko giveaway!
One thing has become very clear: Mamas looove their Danksos! Thanks for all who participated! It was so fun reading all of your comments!

Oh Mamas. I am eating some serious crow.
Wait! Stay with me here....stay...with...me.
Ok. You know how much we've debated the merits of Danskos...
Gang, I have such a love-hate relationship with puffers. I love them because I hate being cold...but...well, then I look like this:
(wearing: Calvin Klein puffer, Current/Elliott skinnies, Frye Buckled Carmen boots, J.Crew mittens and hat)
This is my old Calvin Klein puffer coat, bought at Macy's on super sale several years ago. I mean...OK. It's not horrible. Just a little,...
Cookie swaps, champagne brunches, dinner parties, gift exchanges, kid's pageants and a myriad of other festive occasions. Sound familiar? The kind of occasions where you want to look festive and fun...but a cocktail dress would be overkill. And your definition of "festive" doesn't include this:
Although, to be honest, I would totally rock this one with teeny, tiny tuxedo shorts...
Reader Question:
I have been thinking about the company Christmas Party my husband's work throws each year. The dress code is semi formal AND family friendly (read-bring the toddler and baby along for some Santa time). How in the world does a mom pull off semi-formal mom-style?The other obstacles- a tight budget and a mindful husband. When I told him...
As I was perusing the web, attempting to answer a reader's question about her upcoming holiday party (more on that later), I couldn't help but find some gorgeous cocktail dresses that would be perfect for moms. On the off chance that some of you are living fabulous lives that involve high heels, cocktail parties, and babies that sleep...I thought...
I ran into Maggie outside of the Starbucks in Wayne. Maggie was there with her youngest (who was NOT into being photographed, LOL), and was hard to miss in her gorgeous winter white against a sea of dark clothes.
I'm always a bit hesitant to ask for a photo out here in Philly....people aren't *quite* as accommodating on the...
We've had several requests for nursing-friendly holiday dresses. Which, as many of you know, is easier said then done. Most festive holiday fabrics (silk, lace, anything shiny) have very little give and therefore are tough to nurse in - even if the neckline is low. The best nursing-friendly dresses have a stretchy neckline - something with jersey, perhaps, so...

Gang, remember Amy of BiblioMOMia? Last time she wrote for us, she schooled us in Southern Gal Style. But she's also an academic working on her PhD in literature. (SO freakin' cool!!) So when we recieved Shannon's Mom Street Style submission and read that Shannon defined her style as "punk librarian"...well. I knew BiblioMOMia would get a kick out of...
