In Your Next Life, You Could be a Bib Too
I hate plastic bags. There are just too many of them, and most end up in the trash to do nothing but take up space for the next bazillion years. I applaud Dallas mom Mandolyn’s decision to turn hers into something useful, like clever baby bibs. At her shop, The...
Slings for the Fashionably Erudite
Regular CMP readers know that Kristen has described bibs as “outfit spoilers.” I feel the same way about baby carriers. (Plus I’ve always felt they stop me from showing off my postpartum cleavage.) So it’s for purely selfish reasons that I...
