Children’s book review: Why War is Never a Good Idea
Jasper is a bit of a book fiend, and we tend to visit our local library branch once or twice a week. We were already doing this pre-baby, since Sean and I are also book fiends (apple…tree). The other day, Sean and Jazz went by themselves, and returned with Why War is Never a Good […]
Gift ideas for the pregnant woman in your life
Looking for a gift that your pregnant partner/spouse/sister/cousin/friend/etc. can use WHILE pregnant? Look no further! Here’s a super awesome list of items for just about any budget.

We’ve rounded up some of our favorite plus-size maternity options that hint toward the bad-ass and still stylish… take a gander. We promise that the ONLY flowers we’ve got also have skulls involved. 🙂
