When it comes to the life of being a "Boy Mom" which is the "slang" for "Mom of a boy", many people put the fear of losing my sense of fashion and love of a nice designer bag in to the random thoughts spinning in my head. Do I have to lose all the things I adore and splurge on because I am not only becoming a Mom, but a "Boy Mom" at that? I grew up spoiled in a way. First born. Only child for 10 years. You get the drift? I loved fashion, dolls, the whole nine yards, when it came to the girly ... View the Post
I am NOT a Tomboy!, Letting Your Daughter Be Herself
My husband laughs and calls my little girl a tomboy all the time because she loves to be outside all the time- getting dirty, riding her bike, hanging from the tree, under cars with him, and being loud and crazy. He calls her his “Little Tomboy” but she takes exception to that and puts her hands on her hips, scrunches up her eyes and says “ Daddy, I am not a tomboy! I am a Tom GIRL!” She is highly offended that daddy would suggest such a thing. She is fully what you would call a tomboy ... View the Post
Made in America Jewelry from Visible Interest
This post was created in partnership with eAccountable. All opinions are my own. The 4th of July is a day to celebrate all the USA stands for.

Step in to Summer with Chooka. Waterproof Footwear for Fashion Functionality!
I have lived in Florida pretty much my whole life I am accustomed to losing my flip flops in a rain puddle dashing through the parking lot. Soaking wet sneakers that make the skin on my toes wrinkle up to a prune and stay soaked for days. I think adults tend to forget that waterproof footwear is not just for kids! When I saw the Deep Sea Rain Boot from Chooka, I knew I had to put this to the fashion test! I love to wear dresses and skirts. I know that these can look fabulous with denim, any ... View the Post
New Costumes Can Provide Dress Up and Pretend Play For Boys Too!
Anyone who knows me, knows I let my son do whatever he wants in the pretend world. He is a toddler! He likes to put his Nana's hats on, he loves to wear sunglasses, tiaras, beaded necklaces, and even put my hair ties around his wrist like I do. Just as I believe there should be no gender role on who plays with dolls, I believe little boys should be able to play dress up too. The best way to get something other than generic super hero plastic masks and a polyester cape, is to check out costumes ... View the Post
How to Have Style and Function with Stunning Diaper Bags
Anyone who knows me, knows I am the ultimate handbag junkie. I have tried at times to find cute trendy bags that look high end but lack of quality always shows through. One of the first things friends come to me for when finding out they are pregnant is to ask about cloth diapers. The second thing? Diaper bags to fit those cloth diapers and their other must have essentials! I will honestly state that a $400 bag I had been using was causing pain in my shoulder so it has been tucked away. I have ... View the Post
