Blue, Yellow, and Lace

This is beautiful top. I really like the crochet lace and ruffle detail on the front. It makes the top more feminine without being immodest. The yellow bow around the waist is a nice touch, though some may not prefer to have their waist cinched up. I think it would look great even without the [...]

Half-Shirts and Maternity Wear

One of the interesting things I learned about having children as we welcomed our fifth child into the family last Friday was that there are definitely some things that work for my wife and some things that do not as far as clothing goes.
