There is indisputable proof that the moment a woman conceives, a magical bulletin is immediately sent to every baby and children’s retailer in the world. She wakes up the next morning, as of yet unaware that she is with child, only to be completely puzzled by the stuffed state of her mailbox – full of […]
Football and Kid’s Market: Two Different Forms of Crazy.
So Saturday Football did not disappoint. I mean regarding my Scavenger Hunt, of course – what, you thought I was talking about the game?? It was good too. The “interesting” fans were out in full force. Amanda B. did quite well on the Scavenger Hunt, and Green Door Girl did a fabulous job creating an […]
Alabama Gameday Fashion Photo Scavenger Hunt.
We get to Tuscaloosa on Saturdays bright and early in the morning, regardless of game time. And so, on late gamedays like this coming up Saturday, I have plenty of time to photograph the oddities people watch. And believe me, Gameday Fashion offers a LOT of people watching opportunities. And since I love a good […]
They Listened, Alright.
Disclaimer: This post discusses things that are ultimately of zero importance whatsoever, and I am well aware of this. I hereby pre-apologize for my daily dose of shallowness. Ali has this habit…when she’s playing a game or sharing her snacks, she will ask me something along these lines: “Which one do you want, Mommy? The […]
The Ultimate Mom Jeans Battle: Momternity Jeans.
I sorted through all of my maternity clothes a while ago. It brought back fond memories, I-can’t-believe-I-was-that-huge memories, and I-don’t-know-if-I-can-stomach-to-wear-that-one-more-time memories. And then I got to my jeans. Holy Maternity Cow. The Mom Jeans Factor of the jeans I wore for my entire pregnancy with Ali was OFF THE CHARTS. I wore those?!? Those pockets?!? […]
Someone Needs to Change the Dirty Diaper of Fashion.
Last fall during the American Music Awards, I noticed a very scary trend: the Adult Onesie. It was disturbing, it was edgy, and, as I feared, it was the first step on the way to a new and terribly horrifying trend. The Onesie is now known as . . . . The Romper. If you […]
Whatever Happened to the Dickie?
So it’s getting to be about the time that I at least start going through my maternity clothes, seeing what I can acquiesce to wear again and what I wore so much with Ali that I can’t bear the sight of, and getting them washed and ready completely engulf my wardrobe. I’m not showing yet, […]
Disturbing or Hilarious?
Item #1: This toy machine seems to have been very strategically placed at my favorite mall: My Vote: Hilarious. I especially love that ALL of the “toy chests” are missing…as if everyone frantically stocked up on them before going in the store behind it to buy some packaging for their new finds. Item #2: They’re […]
MAMJoB: Moms Against Mom Jeans on Babies.
Mom Jeans. It’s not something that only plagues 50 year olds anymore, or even just misguided 20-somethings. No, it’s seeping down to the very beginnings of our society, trying to infiltrate our babies by starting them off as Mom Jean loyalists at the youngest of age. You know it. You’ve seen it. Too many styles […]
The Princesses of the States.
There’s nothing that Ali loves more than Princesses and Princess dresses. I spend approximately 28% of my week helping her dress and re-dress her little plastic princesses, trying my best to avoid the task of putting their microscopic shoes that refuse to stay on their nearly-microscopic feet. (I try to convince Ali that Princesses are […]
