Beauty + Fashion

When pregnancy rolls around, most of us expect there to be several added expenses to the budget for the next nine months. Your wardrobe should not be one of the expenses to worry about. I’m in my second pregnancy...

Unfortunately, most of us were teased at school, by a family member or a friend for something. No one's body or appearance is perfect. Whether this was done in jest or just plain meanness - it hurts. It takes...

Three moms.  Three different lifestyles. Three different perspectives.  One place of self-acceptance. As moms, and women, life can be hard. We nitpick ourselves. We focus on the things we want to change. We compare ourselves to others. We don't love ourselves enough. We overlook our...

2017 was another great year for the Columbia SC Moms Blog! We are so thankful to all you, our readers, who were right there with us as we shared stories about our families, highlighted all the fun things to...
