Plus size maternity that isn’t like a floral tent
So you’re plus size, and you’re pregnant. You want to feel good about your body, and also have room for that expanding belly.
There are lots of plus-size maternity options out there, of course… but lots of them lean more toward the floral femmey side of things. You want to maintain yourself of self, even as you’re growing another person inside you. (Sometimes that still just seems FREAKING WEIRD, right? Seriously.)
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. 🙂
Merino wool sleep sack review
At five months, Tavi’s getting to that age where he’s so excited about his increasing mobility that he’s squidging non-stop in his sleep. A blanket laid over him when he goes to bed is a blanket that he’s squirmed out from underneath in about half an hour. Or, even worse, he wakes up screaming with […]

For the littlest nerdlings
Before I had kids I never understood the whole ribbon tag trend. It seemed like all these regular old baby toys were suddenly reinvented with little ribbon tags sewn on everything. Blocks, books, balls, whatever. Tags tags tags. Then I had a child and as soon as she could grab toys she went for the […]
Feeding my cloth diaper hankering
Ok, you can count me among the obsessed. If I wasnt a hippie, I would probably cloth diaper just for the fact that disposables don’t come in Skull print. But seriously, how cute are these diaper covers from Rethinkcrafts? SO freakin cute, and competitively priced with other similar covers. These are covers for prefolds. But […]
Finding Your Inner Mama book review
Steinberg, Eden. (Ed). Finding Your Inner Mama: Women Reflect on the Challenges and Rewards of Motherhood. Shambhala Publications: New York, 2007. I seem to have developed a bit of an addiction. Mama lit. I love it. Devour it. Can’t get enough of it. I don’t mean advice books, or how-to-be-a-better-mama books, which can be found […]
Matchy McMatchersons!
While I think it’s kinda weird to dress your kids like mini-me ALL the time … sometimes it’s super cute. My husband and my daughter own matching orange crinolines, for instance. This in mind, I bring you Supersweet Creations and their cute matching tie shirts. While the picture is of Dad and son (a hottie […]
Hypnobirthing isn’t really hypnosis, and it’s not just for birth
A couple months into my pregnancy, my mom gave me and Andreas a gift certificate for 12 hours of private Hypnobirthing training with a certified instructor. The initial lessons were challenging, not because the practice itself was all that difficult (both Dre and I have had lots of exposure to and belief in focused breathing […]
