This is the last weekend before my due date (Friday, August 5th), and I know the baby could come at any time. That’s both terrifying and hugely relieving—I am so ready, at least physically, to finish this pregnancy. (It’s been over 100 degrees in NYC this month!) But the thing I’m thinking a lot about is this: For almost 10 … read more

Heidi Klum recently stepped out with her kiddos, and got some heat for this outfit of choice. Is this something you would wear out and about with your kids? (After all, she is Heidi Klum… I feel like she can get away with it much more than your average mother!)

Angelina Jolie is… well, Angelina Jolie. She’s iconic. It sometimes surprises me that I’m (almost) the same age as Angelina Jolie, to me… she’s ageless. I say that seriously, I feel like she could still pass for her late twenties, it’s pretty incredible. We’ve all watched her through the years, and have seen motherhood just transform her. Truly, transform her. … read more

Chatting with Holly Robinson Peete about Children’s Allergies

July 26, 2011
by Audrey McClelland, who can be found blogging at http://www.momgenerations.com

Allergies can be tough on kids. My 5-year-old son Alexander suffers from allergies. It’s not fun. For a long time, I felt very alone because I (nor my husband) ever suffered from allergies. I also didn’t know many other moms whose children suffered from allergies. It can sometimes be a struggle, and we just need to stay on top of … read more

You have no idea how much those positive birth stories you shared last week meant. THANK YOU. I will be returning to that post again and again to reassure myself. We moved, found a doula we love, and are getting the nursery in shape this weekend. Phew! One thing that’s still up in the air: The Name. When people find … read more

I have to give her props. Kate Hudson’s newest little man, Bingham Hawn Bellamy, was born a week ago, and she’s already out and about in LA looking like a blonde bombshell. (Because seriously, I would have stayed hidden away for another couple weeks!) I’m telling you – Twitter and the celeb blogs were buzzing about sightings of Kate Hudson … read more

by Audrey McClelland, who can be found blogging at http://www.momgenerations.com

I’m embarrassed to even write this post. Truly, I am. I just got my son Henry a Baby Book. He turned 3 years old on June 17th. I thought my next door neighbor was going to call the “mom-police” on me when I told her Henry didn’t one. She was (in a word) horrified. I do have an excuse, it’s … read more

CONGRATS to Ivanka Trump for giving birth to baby girl Arabella Rose yesterday morning! Her birth made me revisit Ivanka’s gorgeous maternity style throughout the last 9 months. When I was pregnant with my sons, I tried (tried, tried!) to look chic and elegant and classic as much as I possibly could. I didn’t always succeed, even when I was … read more
