I am officially old. Because, you see, the first sign of old age is to be completely weirded out by “This Generation’s Music”. I’ve stayed hip and open-minded for quite a while, but two artists have put me over the edge and, in so doing, over the hill. Lady Gaga and Ke$ha. Besides the fact […]
Proper Smockcessorizing
Since I had to go and overanalyze the Practices of Smock a few weeks ago, I got schooled in how to properly accessorize The Smock yesterday while I was working in the nursery. By a one year old. Evie, who was proudly wearing a very classy smock, taught me the new, modern smockcessorizing practices. It’s […]
If I Had My Wedding to Do Over Again, I’d be Hispanic.
Seeing as how the weather is at that perfect point of brand new warmth and beauty, paired with the fact that pollen week seems to be over, we absolutely had to spend our Saturday outdoors. We started with an outdoor lunch at Chez Lulu. I don’t know about you, but we adhere to some pretty […]
Yogurt Mountain and the Dreadful Case of Underbutt.
There’s a new hangout in Birmingham. It is most definintely the hippest of all places to go, especially if you’re under 18 years old. The esteemed and worshipped ascent to Yogurt Mountain. Careful, though. It is dangerously addictive. I am afraid that my husband is hopelessly and forever strung out on the place. When it […]
Resurrection Respite
Life has been a frenzy of chaos, activity, and responsibilities lately, so to be able to slow down and focus on the Resurrection, I am going to take a blog break for the rest of the weekend. I’ll be back sometime on Monday, hopefully refreshed, refocused, and renewed. I’ll leave you with a few pictures […]
Styling of a Curly Haired Toddler, Self-Styled Edition.
The saga of styling Ali’s hair seems to be ever present in my mind and blog, a dreadfully boring subject to at least 70% of you, I’m sure. However, all of my mornings of attempting to spray and scrunch her hair so she didn’t look like a mangy dog despite her desperate attempts to get […]
The Issue of Smock
This post is dedicated to my friends Nikki and Ashley, with whom I have had many deep and philosophical conversations about smock. My Mom could be a millionaire. You see, she knows how to smock. Well. And, if you haven’t noticed, smocked clothes have, in some circles, become the epitome of children’s fashion and (can […]
Oddities and Observations.
Being a blogger, I find myself unable to resist taking photos of the odd things that come into my life. And eventually they pile up and become a blog post…. Proof that I’m not the only one that gets a little too carried away in the virtual world sometimes….I received this bill in the mail […]
Can You Recall a Product for Faulty Naming?
I received an email from one of my favorite clothing companies on Friday, and they were so!! very!! excited!! about their new and amazing product!! And then I saw the NAME of this product: Jeggings. Apparently, Jeggings are a combination of Jeans and Leggings – they LOOK like the Skinniest of Skinny Jeans, but they […]
Curly Haired Toddler, Winter Edition.
Back in May, I had my first Curly Toddler Style Breakthrough, when I finally figured out how to take Ali’s frizzy crazy hair to nice curls. However, I have yet again been stumped. This time, it wasn’t the frizzy, looks-like-a-balloon-was-rubbed-on-her-head problem – quite the opposite. Since winter got here, a lot of her curls have […]
