Looking to update your wardrobe? Maybe add a little flair when you go out to run errands, are at work or just out with friends?
I found something I really like. As a mom, I’m always trying to just dress up a little, add a sexy hourglass shape and hide flaws.
Chic Star has an amazing shirt that can really make your night out. It’s called the Flounce Ruched Ruffle Belt Shirt.
It can dress up a pair of jeans or be worn at work. This really appeals to my mom friends who are trying to add a little sexy flair to their wardrobe and hide flaws. Even better, it’s in plus-size which gives added comfort so you can show off curves without squeezing into a top that’s too tight. The wrap around design lets me adjust the fit so that it’s comfortable. I love the fact that it is a v-neck style that lets me accentuate my positive assets.
The shirt is great because it is not too hot, but adds style with light comfort.
I’m really liking Chic Star’s designs. It’s not expesive, and adds a edgy, punk or vintage 40-50′s flair to your wardrobe.
Why not look posh when you drop the kids off this week or get compliments when you’re at work or just picking up coffee.
I can’t imagine a better pick me up.
I have to give up nursing. It’s more of a habit for the two of us now than it is about nutrition. I have become sicker than ever and I have tried taking all meds that you can with breastfeeding. I hope to get some sleep tonight without this dreaded cough. The new meds I have can’t be taken if you’re nursing. So here we go on another adventure.
I have tried for months to get my kid to take a bottle and sippy cup, but by accident he started taking a straw. I offered it to the wrong kid and lo and behold he drank it. Surprise, life is a box of chocolates.
Looking back over my nursing adventure, I went from:
I’m not doing that,
to I’m doing it!
to this is convenient
to this is not convenient
to this is a wonderful bonding experience
to I can’t believe you’re growing so fast.
I heard about this book as I was googling weaning.
It’s called How My Breasts Saved the World: Misadventures of a Nursing Mother, by Lisa Wood Shapiro.
I wonder how this woman’s experience is similar to my own.
Uh, off to tuck him in again, don’t give in, don’t give in, don’t give in….
The holiday season is not filled with holiday cheer for all people. Statistically people commit suicide during this time of year more than any other season. Holiday stress, competitive pressure, family issues and even seasonal depression due to lack of sun.
Over the holiday break a neighbor mom killed herself and left behind a teenager.
Moms, please reach out to each other. We can all put up a front that we are “supermoms”, but we are all human. Talk to each other, tell someone if you are having a hard time. Talk to a neighbor, friend, co-worker, another mom or counselor.
Please don’t do anything selfish. Your child loves you unconditionally and doesn’t deserve single day without you.

I heard on the news that there was a family that had a miracle this Christmas season. A mother went into labor and had a heart attack and died during delivery. The doctors did an emergency c-section, but the baby was also not breathing. The father sat there helplessly while his family lay before him. Miraculously the mother began breathing and so did the baby. They were alive. Today they are home, happy and healthy. The medical team cannot explain what occured. What a miracle! It’s a reminder to all of us out there on what is truly precious this holiday season.
As I think of all the things that I resolve to do next year, loving my family and not taking them for granted is at the top of the list. What else really matters?
Ive been consumed by the strategy of packing for our annual Christmas trip home. It’s a 3 hour flight, so shorter than the 8+ flight I used to have before our recent move to the States, but still. With a 4 year old with a short attention span with immediate gratification syndrome and a one year old that’s moving like a tiny ADHD drunk, it’ll be one Hell of a ballet. Even with my husband on this journey to help carry the safety gear required nowadays to keep our boys safe and healthy,it’s enough to hibernate under the duvet for the winter. But alas, the thought of the joy on my children and their grandparent’s faces as they share the traditions of the season, the sparkle of new fallen snow and the laughter of friends keep me motivated.
The packing begins.
See how I suggest you travel with your tots this season.

I’d love to be the mom with the most prestine car in the carline, but I’m the mom whose kid junk falls out when she opens the side door to let the kiddies in. That’s just how I roll.
How do you pimp your mom style?
