I wake up every morning to the same thing… …a cool breeze blowing from the fan; regulating the temperature accordingly to keep my pregnancy induced hot flashes in check. …surrounded by the fluffiness of a dozen (yes, we really have that many pillow on our bed right now) pillows. …the sun peeking in through the […]

How far along: 27 weeks…which means that we hit the third trimester NEXT WEEK. Can you believe it?! How big is the baby: This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She’s sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening […]

I was completely blown away by the response that I received after my post last week on starting your own design business. I knew that there were many of you who were interested in getting started, but I had no IDEA that I’d receive the feedback that I did. I had comments, Facebook messages and emails […]

How far along: 26 weeks…10 weeks till full term! How big is the baby: he network of nerves in your baby’s ears is better developed and more sensitive than before. He may now be able to hear both your voice and your partner’s as you chat with each other. He’s inhaling and exhaling small amounts […]

One of the most frequently received emails that comes through my inbox is, “How do I start a Design Business?“.

A few months ago I was contacted by Elizabeth of Little Bitty Toys and asked if I’d be interested in reviewing a set of her toys. My friend Amy is her sister and she had several sets of these that her daughter used to play with and Noah loved them. He was so excited to land […]

I mentioned the other day that the most frequent question we (well,more me I think) were getting from people was whether or not we are disappointed that we are having another boy. People who barely know us have given looks of what seems like sympathy when we say we are having another boy. People have […]

I had so many of you ask me how we decided on baby names after I revealed our sweet boys name and Gender on InstaGram. The truth is, the husband and I have had this little guys’ name picked out since his brother was born. We’ve always had two boy names and one girl name picked […]

I’ve always been one of those people who takes extra precaution when talking to people. I don’t assume someone is pregnant just by the way they look. I don’t generally ask people when they are planning to have kids and/or add to their family. After struggling for a year trying to get pregnant with Jonah and […]
