My sister is about to have a baby. In fact, she’s actively trying not to have a baby as we speak. She’s not due until the beginning of July, but the little nugget is already trying to force her way out of the uterus. Our fingers are crossed that she stays in there a little longer so that her lungs have some more time to develop–and so that I can finally throw my sister a surprise baby shower (my nephew was six weeks early, making his grand entrance before the baby shower).

All of this baby chatter has me obsessing over teensy tiny baby fingers and toes and all of the cuteness that goes along with having a baby girl. It was the perfect excuse to window shop (not that I really need an excuse!).

My sister is a fashionista with an inclination towards edgy, gothic details (check out her blog to see what I mean. Not that I’m biased or anything, but she’s kind of awesome). It can be a little tough to find pieces for a baby girl that work with her aesthetic. I went on a hunt and came up with a few pieces that I think she would love.

All this itty bitty baby chatter is starting to give me a little baby fever (not that my littlest munchkin is much bigger). Here’s to hoping the newest little addition will take care of that for me for the time being!

In a world where money is no object and it makes perfect sense to buy expensive clothes for my juice-spilling munchkin, these are some of the pieces we’d have to pick up while back to school shopping.

A lover of glittery, girly things, the color blue and zebra stripes, I think these pieces would suit her perfectly…

Her first day of kindergarten is tomorrow and, while I said I was ready for September, I’m having some issues with this transition. I know she’s going to love it (she’s been requesting worksheets this summer), but I just can’t believe my baby is this big!

I realize this might fall under the “too much information” category for a lot of people. But I don’t care. If you’re not feeling it, check back tomorrow instead, when boobs won’t be center stage (but vintage luggage will!).

Since 1991, the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action has been celebrating World Breastfeeding Week as a way to promote and support breastfeeding worldwide. As a breastfeeding momma myself, I thought it would be fitting to do a post about it this week.

There are a lot of people out there who think it’s gross or weird, but I think it’s one of the most beautiful and natural things in the world. Humans have been doing it for millions of years.

If you’re able to do it, I don’t quite understand why you wouldn’t considering all of the health benefits linked with breastfeeding (not the least of which being the fact that you pass your immunities to your little bundle).

I love that supermodel Miranda Kerr posted the photo at the top of her breastfeeding her son Flynn (taken by proud papa Orlando Bloom) on her Kora Organics blog. Even though you see more of her in her Victoria’s Secret photos, some people were put off by this sweet photo. I just don’t get it!

What do you think about the issue?
