Just when I thought I had depleted Netflix's selection of great classic films, I stumbled on this beautiful gem of a movie, Sons and Lovers from 1960. I didn't think I recognized any of the...
I've been fielding the questions left and right. Even all of the garage salers were speculating as to whether my bump was harboring a boy or a girl. Last night my friends drew sketches of the ki...
Feeling better, and feeling bigger! After spending two and a half weeks in Phil's gym clothes, and literally being too sick to look at myself, I felt a bit like a caterpillar coming out of its c...
Here I am looking at the calender, realizing that I've been sick for half of the month of May, really wanting to cry about my discouragement, loneliness, and the waste of a beautiful time of yea...
I've got to admit, thinking about this baby's nursery has been the last thing on my mind. Wondering if I had cancer, wrapping up getting life insurance, and trying to stay distracted with w...
Hi friends! I might not be around too much for the next week, as I'll be busy working on some blog designs, shooting a much anticipated wedding, and trying not to worry too much about the biopsy...
If you're planning on donating your time to a fundraising event, I suggest becoming a professional photographer and setting up a vintage-styled living room scene. It really is the best! I had so...

Any modern girl who loves vintage (and hasnt worn a girdle) can find it frustrating to shop for vintage. I mean, did they make women differently back then? While staring at the tiny waistline and ful...
Wahoo! We've made it all the way to 16 week! To me, this means only four more weeks before we discover whether the little being growing inside of me is a boy or a girl. Couldn't be more exc...

After painting our living and dining rooms, I must admit, I was a little terrified to hang any artwork. (I'm notorious for nailing, chanigng my mind, and nailing again.) We've been here for...
As a child, I loved watching glamorous Hollywood musicals, and performing my favorite song and dance numbers with girlfriends in our driveway. I wonder what the neighbors thought? About a year ago, I...
In accordance with my plans for a pretty pregnancy on the cheap, I didn't succumb to shopper envy when I saw these cute pink pants at ASOS. Would it be possible to DIY something similar? I wasn&...

Ooh la la! If you've been reading for a while, you will already know that I think Ms. Taylor was the bee's knees. Her movies rank among the top of my all-time favorites list, and last Decem...
Why didn't I get a real job after graduation? Where the heck has my style gone? And why are my boobs getting SO BIG?! These are questions I hadn't asked myself in two years... but now I sud...
We've had plenty of friends popping in and out of our house helping with moving heavy furniture, painting, doing yardwork, and even dropping off some fresh fruit! Moving house was the hard part-...
She wakes up alone in a bed not her own. She washes out her mouth with expensive whiskey and tries on the furs of another man's wife. A typical morning for Gloria Wandrous, who is outraged when ...
Wahoo! Here I am- out of the "danger zone," as the doctor lady told me this week. As she poked around my belly, she also told me (with an ounce of surprise?) that I was grooowing. Well, duh...
Well, we ain't got a barrel of money, but that sure isn't stopping me from enjoying the planning-for-baby part of my pregnancy! Planning is one of my greatest joys in life, so I thought it ...
Donuts and candy and cake and ice cream! Seriously detrimental delicious stuff that might better serve you on the walls of your home than on the walls of your arteries. Of course, if you live life da...
