Pregnant People Like!

My pregnancy pillow! You can order them anywhere (and like a bad girl, I cut off the tag the first day), but I ordered mine from Amazon. I like this one, because it is easy to turn over in the middle of the night without moving your pillow around (and waking up your husband, pets, whoever else is sharing your bed). Right now, we count the pillow as an extra person, throw in me, Baby Icing, Mr. Icing and at least one cat, it's a very good thing we have a king sized bed! It really has helped with my back pain and knee pain!

The Jacqua pumpkin papaya masque. It's a gentle exfoliating mask that works really well on my dry and flaky pregnant skin. It's gentle enough to use 2-3 times per week, and it leaves me soft and glowing.
My pretty coffee cups. They fit in your hand just perfectly thanks to the curved handle, and I just adore them! They are Villeroy and Boch new wave caffe. They aren't the biggest, but I shouldn't be drinking big cups of coffee anyway these days.
Tomorrow starts week 28. Do you have any recommendations for home stretch necessities?

The Good Life




Despite being the proud owner of Juicy sweatsuits in pink and purple (they never see the light of the outside world - they are STRICTLY for sleepware), I am not casual in terms of my china and flatware. When I registered for my wedding (over four years ago), I went with strict tradition. My mother's sterling is Towle Chippendale, so that is what I got too. I love the subtle details and restrained lines. It is also easy to polish.

My china is Raynaud Heloise. It was love at first sight. My mother has Spode Dephli, which is a very restrained gold pattern on white. I wanted something with a little more substance, and a little bit of color, but nothing to interfere with the food. I LOVE it.
