At this moment, my body is the heaviest it's been since I was pregnant. And, I just had a sassy, professional pinup photo shoot done. These sentences don’t often go hand in hand, but I took the leap anyway. It would...
When I go on vacation, I try my hardest to pack as lightly as possible. Try is the operative word here. I tend to go light on things like underwear (I have been known to forget them entirely) and heavy on...
I'm that girl who still wore a t-shirt over her bathing suit until -- well, until loose tankinis with skirt bottoms became popular when I was in my twenties. So, posing in my underwear for a photoshoot is so...
Okay, so maybe we don't consider ourselves, or even want to be, fashionista moms. BUT, have you ever found yourself wondering where all the cute maternity clothes are? I have! I am pregnant with our third child this year and started looking for...

It doesn't matter if you’ve never been pregnant, if your youngest child is 19 years old, or if you don’t even want kids – you should be wearing maternity clothes. Now before you dismiss me, hear me out. The holidays are over...
I love meeting Boss Moms: women who seem to do it all with moxie and grace. Sharon Young, owner of local vintage clothing wonderland Thrifted Sisters, is one such dynamic mother. We met when my love of unique duds...
