The World’s Least Girlie Barrettes

Kiss Me, I May Or May Not Be Irish

Kiss Me, I May Or May Not Be Irish

While I’m all for going festive for the holidays, the problem with buying shamrock leggings and an "Erin Go Bragh" shirt for your toddler is that it looks pretty out of place every day but one. But this gorgeous capri dress and green bolero from...
See How They Run

See How They Run

In the spring, a mother’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of… shoes, of course! I love browsing the ballet flats and strappy sandals available for my little girls. But I get tired of the selection at my local big box store, and don’t like paying the...
Drool Gets Cool

Drool Gets Cool

It’s no secret among those who know me that I hate newborn bibs. Yes I know they’re essential for very drooly babies but still. They’re bibs! I’ve held out hope that analternative would come along by the time my own newborn started...

God Save the Feet

God Save the Feet

For a woman like me with an utter and undeniable shoe fetish, it absolutely blows my mind that my daughter owned a single pair of shoes until she was actually walking. Who was this practical mom? And will she please stay away until after baby #2 comes along in a...
The Dingo Ate My Baby!

The Dingo Ate My Baby!

Sometimes we just find a kids tee that makes us laugh so hard, we’d be remiss if we didn’t share it with the world – even if our first instinct is to keep it for ourselves. That’s just how we felt about this "bad dingo" design from...
Encourage Her Shoe Fetish

Encourage Her Shoe Fetish

I’m a minimalist when it comes to dressing babies: No jewelry, no fancy hats, and no booties. My girls didn’t wear shoes until they could walk, and I still grin at the professional portraits we have of them with bare toes peeking out from underneath their...
