Disclaimer: I fully realize I have great genes for a fit foundation (ie a super insane metabolism). That said, I really do care about my insides as well as the outsides. So it’s important to me that I try to stay fit throughout my pregnancy to ensure my body is getting the proper care and …

Like Oprah, I take pride in gift giving. It isn’t so much the tangible item, but how I feel when I think about the person or how much I hope they love the thought and care that went into it. A hostess gift can range from your bestie or spouse’s boss so needs to be …
Girls: we are tough, we have our go-to cosmetic products, love our current shampoo, are super picky on the size of hoop earrings we want and a closet stocked with clothes (yet we never have anything to wear!).
