2nd Trimester Craving of the Day: Sweet Minty Belly Oil

When I was pregnant with my son, I was a chipper 24 year old that had resilient-as-all-hell skin that could stand up to a 55 pound weight gain (that’s right, I was a house… and I didn’t have the wild Captain Crunch diet of Jessica Simpson, either). This time around I’m a few years older and a wee bit wiser- I’ve got to oil my thorax up to avoid all the wild stretch marks... More...

Mustela Wins My Heart Again with 9 Months Collection
Tweet When my now three and a half year old son was born I was a clueless mess. How do [...]
When my now three and a half year old son was born I was a clueless mess. How do I feed him? How do I bathe him? What’s safe to put on his skin? Almost every pediatrician and nurse in the maternity ward at the hospital told me the same thing: pick up some Mustela and you’ll be all set. They were right, and it’s always been in the back of my head that I’d return to the tried... More...

I’m at week 18 with baby number 2, and although it’s only been 4 years since I had my son swimming around my stomach, it sort of feels like it was decades ago. How could I forget so much in so little time? So, for all of you new and repeat moms, I’ve put together my list of things I wish I remembered. 1. Cravings have nothing to do with foods you actually like. In fact, I fin... More...

The Obscene Way to Celebrate Nurse’s Week
Nurse’s Week is a great excuse for some rectal thermometer cake?
Nurses are very special people. They care for us, the heal us, and apparently they don’t mind the occasional rectal thermometer cake. Now we know exactly what goes on in the hospital break room. These are definitely some of the most creative cakes we’ve ever seen (although they don’t leave much appetite to speak of). Stretch marks and all! Mmmm… buttercream intes... More...

Babies and Guns: They Just Go Together

When I see this picture I think “here’s a father that really knows how to protect his children.” He’s all like “yea shes got stretch marks, but if you make a comment about them I’ll blow your friggin’ head off!!” Best cure for stretch marks? Fear. My guess is that those are black leather gloves in the back of his pants, not the holster. Nothi... More...

Things I love, as you may have noted by now, are gentle lotions and potions that are plant-based, natural, paraben-free, and all that good stuff. I was delighted to try Honeydew Skincare’s line this past weekend. I know I’m a sucker lately for a good belly lotion to prevent stretch marks, but Honeydew’s smells great and is really rich. Forget about pregnancy, it’s amazi... More...

I’m officially obsessed with a funny little stick. My friends at naturalselectionbathandbody.com sent me two tubes of their Zen Shea Lotion Stick last week, and I’ve used the pomegranate-tangerine scent (which is supposed to bring a feeling of peace) every day since! Zen Shea Lotion Stick, $11 They also sent a stick in a delicious rosemary scent that Ashley went crazy for! I’ve been ... More...
