So this is what mothers of boys miss out on! Lelli Kelly shoes are the most sparkly, glittery, bedazzled shoes I have ever seen in my entire life. I don’t know whether I want a pair for myself or whether they’re just over the top garish! Lelli Kellys are hand beaded canvas shoes made in […]

Hanna Andersson is one of my favorite clothing stores for both myself and my son. They’re clothes are colorful, fun, and sturdy (the children’s clothing more so than the women’s, in my experience). I especially like the comfy long johns.
But one of my frustrations is with their sales. Inevitably, if you don’t get to […]

Not to be alarmist or anything but since I personally know Jo whose daughter lost a toe while wearing crocs, I have a heightened interest in the whole situation. Today, I found this ABC Good Morning America article:
Crocs Can Pose a Danger on Escalators
Some Parents Have Reported Kids Feed Being Sucked Into Escalators
In some […]

Bob the Builder-Yes you can! Yep, that’s my almost 3 year old (only 9 days before you no longer have to hear me referring to him like that) wearing his costume a full 15 days before Halloween. 15 days.
That would never have been allowed when we were younger. I remember the great […]

Check out these adorable little knitted rattles! Are they too fun, or what? And a good way of instilling a love for veggies from the start. (Maybe someone should have let me play with veggies as a kid!)
These, and lots of other bright and colorful knitted toys and clothes, are made by Blablah. […]

Hsien wrote awhile back about the Croc party she and her little guy attended, questioning the benefits of the authentic Crocs verses the knock-offs. Well, we’ve just accepted the first pair of kid Crocs into our house, and they are definitely here for the long haul, so I thought I’d share my first-hand review.
Grandma […]

Four out six kids at a get-together we went to yesterday were wearing Crocs. Two were wearing authentic Crocs that are worth about $25, one (my son) was wearing knock-offs from Walmart that cost $9, and I’m not sure about the last little guy.
I’ve got a pair of real Crocs myself and while […]

I love VeggieTales. And, I have to admit, I was not introduced to them after my children were born. No, I’ve known Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber longer than I’ve known my own children.
Big Idea Productions started releasing these videos of computer animated vegetables when my husband and I were in […]

Tonight was gorgeous here in the Midwest, so my family and I decided to get some fresh air and to hike it up to our local library. It is uphill much of the way, so it does often feel like a hike. Of course, it seems uphill much of the way back, too.
Since […]

Did you check out the poll in the sidebar to your right? I think our next one should ask how much you spend on children’s clothing.
Me? I spend practically nothing because our friends and family give us plenty to keep my son and another like him clothed for at least a […]
