May was mentioning to me this morning how, during the early months of a baby’s life, when she’s too young to express her opinions or pick out her clothes, she’s effectively a billboard for her parents’ opinions and styles. In that brief window before she insists on Blues Clues and Dora themed attire, she can [...]

If you’ve read this blog long enough, you know we tend to get excited when we run across baby clothing (especially for baby girls) that are not pastel. What’s with the whites and pinks and baby blues and light greens, and soft yellows, and - you get the point. I’m not anti-pastels; I’d just like [...]

I remember the first load of Pooky’s laundry I did. It was before she was born, and I was able to throw all of the new clothes we had for her at that time into one load (and there was no need to separate lights from darks because, of course, clothing in non-pastel colors for [...]

I don’t knit or crochet, although I keep telling myself I’m going to learn someday. It wasn’t until Pooky was born that I started really appreciating hand knit items. We received a number of hand knitted blankets, sweaters, hats, and other garments, and I always find myself reaching for them because I know someone put [...]
