Offbeat baby shower gift ideas
Have a baby shower coming up? Here are some gift ideas that have tickled my fancy lately… Baby’s First Tattoo: A Memory Book for Modern Parents I have personally seen this book in action and it’s hilarious.

Baby Catcher: Chronicles of a Modern Midwife
This book? Is awesome. I couldn’t put it down, in fact. It’s the memoir of a woman who worked as a midwife her entire life and chronicles her experiences from nursing school to the end of her career. She writes about how childbirth was approached when she was in nursing school during the early 1960s, […]

Rock ‘n’ roll baby shoes
I know y’all don’t know me all that well so here’s a little tidbit: I’m married to a rock star. No, women don’t make a habit of throwing their underwear at him whenever he goes out in public, and he never wears mascara anymore, but still. A rock star. He played in a band when […]
