Recommended: Testing for Kindergarten

by ACMJ November 30, 2010 baby shower ideas: gifts for mom

I read a whole lot of books on parenting and pregnancy as a result of running this website. I also love to read, in general, and find few books to be a total waste of time. I am, you might say, very generous with books and authors, because I just love reading. However, once in [...]

Bashful Bump Bodysuits Maternity Product Review

by ACMJ October 23, 2010 baby shower ideas: gifts for mom

EHP does not do a lot of maternity gear or clothing reviews, primarily because we tend to avoid maternity items completely and just opt for larger sized clothes when pregnant.
