You know me, friends. My approach to maternity dressing this last round was...minimalistic, you could say.
Tempted as I was to overhaul my entire wardrobe in favor of maternity-specific pieces that would ensure comfy bump'in for the better part of a year, the more realistic approach was to utilize as much of my current wardrobe as possible, mixing in...
OK pals — buckle up. Three weeks to go on ye olde pregnancy journey, and, as promised, I'm back to talk a little (lotta) bit more about how I've been dressing this time around. As someone who is pretty practical when it comes to investing in my wardrobe (and who is almost positive this is my last time doing...

I'm not one of those people who just adores being pregnant. I appreciate it, sure. It certainly is novel, and I celebrate all that it represents. And both times I've felt extremely grateful to be in a position to carry a kiddo with my very own body. (This second time, especially, since I wasn't...
Something I love more than anything? A good capsule wardrobe. I’m not one for wearing a million different things throughout the year. If anything, I’m closer to a cartoon character with one rotating outfit. (I can hear my mom snicker as I say this — my closet might not exactly reflect this, but we’re working on it).
Point is, sometimes all it takes...

Ah, winter on the Northern California Coast. It’s actually one of the most beautiful times of the year here – generally clearer and sunnier than the summer, even – and the hillside sunrises and smoldering ocean sunsets are something else entirely.
This year, with Lana being in school, I’ve been trying to take advantage of...
Ah, the first year of having a baby....There’s nothing else like it. That year is magical, beyond any magic you’ve ever known, but also...freaking hard. Thankfully, this modern age has thought of some brilliant items to help out along the way.
Many of the heavily used essentials (think pacifiers and bottles) need to also be approved by that fresh, yummy...

'Tis the season for surprises, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all this time? Donning an actual dress for the holidays - and JCPenney has so many great options to style up. I love a gauzy dress in the summer, and I am all about an easy house dress all year round, but when...
For mamas-to-be who wanna fancy up their bump for the holidays — I found some festive dresses. Very carefully examined (zooming in on inseams with my eyes practically touching the screen) dresses.
A few of them are maternity styles, but I rounded up some non-maternity options for the first trimester, some of which might even work for the second trimester,...

Obviously, it took us a while (like...uhhhh, six years) to commit to the idea of expanding our family. The whole cancer storyline threw a wrench in things, but then, even when that was nearly behind us, there was most definitely a sense of whoa, are we really ready to start over...again? that made even...
