I had every intention to have a cute, minimalist, stylish wardrobe when I got pregnant (doesn’t every woman?)-until it came time to actually find clothes. Of course, before I got pregnant I had never looked into maternity clothes, but now that the time has come, trying to find things that are comfortable, flattering and aren’tContinue reading “Minimalist Maternity Wardrobe”

Gingerbread Molasses cookies
First off, let me start by saying that I am NOT a professional baker, nor do I claim to be!

With that being said, I doContinue reading “Gingerbread Molasses cookies”
