Chris and I had the American Music Awards on in the background Sunday night while we busied ourselves with other tasks. But despite the fact that we were hardly paying it any attention, there was an overarching trend that was inescapable of our notice: Onesies. Apparently, they are all the rage. Gone are the days […]
Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This…
Sorry I’m late in getting this annoucement out: The winner of the Prima Princessa DVD is Michelle from 5 Little Wolfs! Saturday night after coming home from staying with Gramamma during the LSU game, Ali woke up screaming three different times – 2am, 5am, and 6am. She wouldn’t talk, but she would shake and nod […]
When Tailgations Collide.
The LSU / Alabama game is always a study in human nature worth experiencing. ESPECIALLY before the game (and, I daresay after the game may even be more so, but we’ve never stayed to risk it.) LSU fans are hugely supportive and tailgate-esque, nearly as much so as Alabama. So when the two come together, […]
A Homecoming Revue
home·com·ing (hom’ kum’ ing) n. A coming to or returning home. An annual event at schools, colleges, and universities for visiting graduates. A seasonally ridiculously cold football game that had to be scheduled ridiculously late so that taking a toddler into the game as had been planned would be completely foolhardy. However, being that there […]
Fall Fashion Report, For The (Drastically) Shorter Consumer.
There’s a lack of toddler fashion analysis in the media today. You can’t find it in Elle. You can’t find it in Marie Claire. You can’t even find it in Cosmo. So Ali and I have recognized this reporting gap and have decided to fill it. Just because you have less stature than an umbrella […]
The "Tamer" Parts of the Trip.
Well, you’ve of course already heard about the most, um, “interesting” part of our trip, but in addition to our Dragon*Con adventures, we had a completely packed-with-activity Atlanta weekend. We stayed at Twelve Hotel this year, and in spite of their apparent naming chosen by a Twelve Year Old Boy (besides the name of the […]
I REFUSE to be Vintagicated!
When the 80’s fashions came back in style a couple of years ago, it didn’t bother me. Sure, they were horrid and ugly and I couldn’t understand who would want to wear them and all that, but it wasn’t personal. After all, I was just a child in the 80’s (0 – 8 years old), […]
A Matter of Taste.
**For the record, this blog post is Husband Pre-Read and Approved, and is only meant in fun.** I am, in general, not that hard to please, but there are certain items that I have very particular taste about. Bedspreads. I hardly EVER see one I like, so much so that I am surprised when I […]
Today’s Hot Teenage Trend: Geezer.
Okay. I am going to totally step on some fashion toes here. So please, accept the fact that I am certainly no style guru, that this is just my opinion, and, well, just forgive me from the front end. I have been a bit bewildered by style lately. Particularly, the style of teenagers. Because the […]
Kid’s Market and Shopping for a Toddler
We are back and getting settled in! My list of to-do’s for this week is a mile long. . . augh! That’s the one tough part about vacation: getting back. However, the up-side is definitely seeing our baby again! Ali had TONS of fun with Gramamma and Pop, of which I’m sure Mom will provide […]
