Sundresses That Aren’t So, Um, Sunny

Sundresses That Aren’t So, Um, Sunny

It’s hard not to be smitten with sundresses for little girls – they’re so sweet, so springy, so totally age appropriate. I could, however, live without the Laura Ingalls fabrics. So when a friend bestowed my youngest daughter with a totally awesome...
Happy Feet

Happy Feet

We’ve had a heck of a time trying to find summer sandals for my daughter. Combine her in-between shoe size with fairly narrow feet and you basically eliminate most of the better shoe options out there. So when I slid a pair of Kuuru Shoes on her narrow...

The Annual Cool Mom Picks Dad Tattoo Tee Reco

Every year we fall in love with the idea of the kids surprising dad in a cool daddy tattoo tee on Father’s Day. The most hard-core, manly man, I-only-watch-Steven-Segal-movies papa will melt at the sight of his beloved progeny avowing their love for him in 100%...

A Cherry of a Kids’ Tee

A Cherry of a Kids’ Tee

I am beyond tired of kids clothes that don’t hold up after oh, say three washes. The bargain tees I picked up turned out to not be such a bargain when I threw them out before the season was halfway over, reminding me that often times, you really do get what you...

I Enjoy Being a Girl

I might not be a huge fan of the lacy froo-froo get-ups for my daughter, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get sucked in by some of our awesome girlie picks – like these custom wool felt crowns from Cakies. Granted, they’re not really that girlie,...
