Affordable Nursery Decorating Ideas and Inspiration, Great Finds For Baby and Mom, DIY Projects, and Parties
A little something for you: maternity style, diaper bags, pregnancy announcement ideas and gift guides for moms.
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of Isabella Oliver’s maternity line. The UK based clothing collection hugs your body in all the right places, it’s comfortable and tres chic! And you know who else thinks their clothes rock? Jennifer Garner. The pregnant celeb was spotted about town sporting the Isabella Oliver ruched cami ($49) in white and the denim skirt ($109) in indigo.
How are you dressing your baby bump?
I have to admit I’m a little gadget-obsessed. I love all of my devices!
As a mom, you know toddlers are attracted to all things shiny, and mine just loooooves to play with my iPhone — which is why a phone cover is a must-have.
I’m currently coveting Petunia Pickle Bottom‘s new Adorn iPhone 4 Case ($38) — and can you blame me? They’re toddler-proof and fabulous, and the only reason I don’t have one yet is because I can’t decide with pattern I like best!

Who knew that two little blue lines could make someone so happy? Finding out you’re pregnant is one of the most exciting moments of a pregnancy – along with hearing the heart beat and feeling that little baby kick for the first time. Here are some creative ideas on how to share “the big news” with your loved ones.
1. A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: A photograph of a positive pregnancy test is a common way to announce a pregnancy. But isn’t a picture of a chalkboard due date pointing at your soon-to-be growing belly so much cuter?
2. Announce it With a T-Shirt: If you’re expecting a second child, have the soon-to-be big brother or sister announce the pregnancy with a t-shirt like this one. If this is your first, you can get a t-shirt or onesie for a niece or nephew that reads “I’m going to be a cousin” or one for a sibling that reads “I’m going to be an Aunt/Uncle.”
3. Napkin Notes: Spread the word by inviting unsuspecting family members to dinner and asking them to find their place at the table. Instead of names, write their new “titles” on a napkin.

Everybody loves to throw parties during the holidays.
As someone who was pregnant during the holidays, I know first hand how frustrating it can be to find an outfit that you’ll feel chic and glamorous in without spending a fortune. Who wants to spend all that money on an outfit you’ll probably never wear again?
Enter Isabella Oliver. Their maternity clothes is made to grow (or shrink) with your body so that you can wear it over and over again. Isabella Oliver offers great quality and style.
Most recently, celebrities like Gwen Stefani, Ali Larter, Angelina Jolie, and Kelly Rutherford have worn Isabella Oliver’s maternity clothes.
I ordered two tops from them after seeing ads in Pregnancy Magazine. I was a little nervous about ordering maternity clothes online (being shipped from the UK) but they offer free shipping on orders of $89 or more, their sizing chart was very accurate and I was able to speak with a customer rep within minutes.
I took a HUGE leap of faith and it was TOTALLY worth it… I looked beautiful.
I’ve actually worn the tops several times after giving birth and no one would even guess they were maternity clothes.
And did I mention they don’t just sell maternity clothes?

Everything’s pink in this edition of Chic & Cheap Finds. I don’t know if I was influenced by breast cancer awareness or maybe it’s just that I love pink (which I do!). These items all have something in common (besides their color)… a vintage feel. They’re sort of romantic with a little retro thrown in for fun.
