Concert poster birth announcements FTW!
Hello there Offbeat Mamas! It’s Megan from Offbeat Bride popping in to our sister site while Ariel is getting to know her son outside of her body. And what better way to celebrate a glorious thing like that than with some rad baby announcements!? Ah’like this ones perhaps?… I have to thank my preggo friend […]
Beautiful belly pendants celebrate the awesomeness of birth
Looking for a unique and special BlessingWay gift or a way to show appreciation for your dedicated Midwife or Doula? Maybe you yourself need a talisman in the birth room to give you strength to push that baby out. When I was preparing for the birth of my daughter, I wore one of these beautiful […]
Unique bunk bed designs + other baby and kid rooms worthy of swooning
Ariel’s post last week about turning her closet into a nursery got me thinking…How else can you creatively use the space you have when you have kids?
My husband and I currently live in a small 3 bedroom house, and we hope to have at least three children. Who we’ll have to cram into one room. The solution for us is going to lie in the liberal use of bunk beds and, as it turns out, that means way more fun anyway! Check out these cool (and totally copy-able, if you’ve got skills like that) bunk bed designs
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.

She writes about how childbirth was approached when she was in nursing school during the early 1960s, […]
Kid’s noise cancelling headphones: all the fun with none of the hearing damage
Our little roadie at her best. Angelene (aka A.Jams) is seen here with her rockstar headphones, the Peltor Junior Earmuffs. They come in tons of colors.
Self-rescuing princess t-shirt – You’re darn right
I am probably betraying my geekier sensibilities here, but if we end up having a daughter this is exactly the kind of message I want her to send to the world: Seriously, I can’t think of a better shirt for a little girl to wear around. Why not give her a head start in feeling […]
This pirate skull tutu — does it come in adult sizes?
Ok, so since we’re talking about princess phases … clearly, I’m still stuck in mine. This is one of those outfits that makes me regress a little. The zebra-print ribbon? The skull applique? The ridiculousness of the tulle? So, until I find out if my unborn son likes tutus, trucks, or both at the same […]
