day in day out: American Apparel for kids

Every summer it seems we have new clothing challenges. Last summer it was somehow managing to keep her tushy covered while potty training (or attempting to train, ha. We didn’t have much success back then!). This summer? Birdie’s potty trained! (shout it to the roofs people!!!) But I’m suddenly realizing that my rough and tumble [...]

gotta get app: Pepi Bath

I looove finding a new app that Birdie likes as much as I do. Because let’s face it, at 3 1/4 years old, she is developing her own taste – and it doesn’t always have my particular aesthetic or educational goals. I know, how annoyingly independent of her, right? Pepi Bath, by Pepi Play,focuses on [...]

mother’s day gift guide:
featuring some of my favorite moms!

Mother’s Day is coming! I like to think of it as my day to be a little … self-indulgent. I thought the best way to honor that was to share the indulgence. So, I’ve asked some pals to dream up their Mother’s Day Wishlists (indulgence #1). And now, we’re sharing all of our favorite finds [...]

mozart, igloos, & pixelated envelopes

Ah, the conundrum of the 2000′s – somehow I swear this week didn’t even happen. I feel like I. Just. Wrote. a Friday post! Arguably, when I sit still for five seconds and think about it, this week was quiet and lovely. I finally found my Mojo – which had been MIA, lost somewhere in [...]

charlie & nell are like you & me

It’s like clockwork, my need to find good dolls! I had another post in mind for today, but in the end I had the itch. So I started trolling the net for a new doll to call my favorite. I think Charlie & Nell’s sweet dolls will fit the bill. I’m giving into the urge [...]

ooii it’s zuzii!

One of the best little side bennies to the warmer weather of Springtime? Showing off your baby toes. You didn’t realize that yet? Well let me tell you, now that I have a 3 year old with dirty dusty wandering feet (they’re still cute, but you know … a little rough), I miss her baby [...]

ottomans with eyes & disco bicycle helmets

This week’s round up is the beginning of a slightly different direction for me, visually – at least if it sticks! Because that’s the beauty of a blog, one can change her mind when she feels like it! But I do believe we need some Springy breaths of fresh air around here, so I thought [...]

around the world – but let’s start with sam

Pals, I’m so excited. I’ve finally convinced my good friend Sam to join us on this little blog. I swear, if I haven’t seen the coolest thing, she’s seen it instead. We met thanks to grad school – shout out to MCAD! Helloooo! – but actually we really became friends when we moved in to [...]

brontorina apatosaurus the ballerina

As a modern mom it seems I’m always trying to find the middle ground. I’m a feminist, a modern woman, and I want my girl to be strong, independent, and true to herself. But I want to share all those classically wonderful little girl things too: fairies, unicorns, ballerinas, and kind, generous, swashbuckling princes. I [...]

to my 1:00 am owl buddy

Luckily I find the sound of “Whoo whoooooo … Whoo.” soothing and calming at 1:00 in the morning. Luckily it makes me think of midnight breezes, rustling spring leaves, and maybe a little moonlight. Because that big owl sitting outside my window every night might be a problem otherwise. I’m now going to also assume [...]

weekly round about #79

I know Easter is supposed to be all about new beginnings, baby animals, spring shoots – but lately all I can think about is Spring Cleaning. Which, in a more practical sense, is a rebirth of sorts, right? Now if I can just find a way to Spring Clean my head – like January’s New [...]
