Tweet My Facebook and twitter feeds exploded yesterday letting me know how designers are now offering couture for the toddler set. But I already knew all that before yesterday because I read the fashion magazines and have been anticipating some of these designer launches. So today, as expected the articles and blog posts were published…
Tweet Esther has been sad a lot lately. If you know Esther like we know Esther – you know she is not our sad child. She is usually the one skipping down the sidewalk, making up songs along the way, while taking notice of the pretty flowers near the path. Esther giggles a lot and…
Tweet I think a good vacation is a bit like flying a kite. When you are flying a kite you only pay attention to the kite and how to keep it up high. Flying. One goal. I think if a vacation is really a vacation you should really just pay attention to the vacation….
Tweet I read a parenting book about nine years ago when I used to read parenting books..you know with my first child, and this book mentioned something about the cycle of temperaments in small children. It said that usually they are the most calm, at ease, and go with the flow around their birthdays and…
Tweet I admit that I can splurge on beautiful clothing for my kids. I like pretty things. They like pretty things. Our closets have exploded in dresses some seasons. I like quality clothing and fine fabrics. I’m a kids clothing snob. I know this. I own this. I admit to my sins. But…
Tweet Hey Mom, what does LMFAO stand for? (A sidenote to my mother and mother-in-law here..LMFAO is a band) It’s like LOL – you know Laughing Out Loud – just even more laughing. But what do the exact letters stand for? Well…Laughing My Fricking Arse Off is what it really means. But the…
Tweet On January 1st I sat-up instantly in bed and said “OMG I’ve missed it haven’t I – it’s preschool application time isn’t it?! I’ve missed it and now Astrid won’t get into our preschool of choice for Fall. She will never get into Harvard!” Okay, I didn’t really say that nor pretend that…
Tweet It’s boutique Spring Preorder time – and Astrid did the modeling(and I the photographing) for the toddler line of Oilily for Little Skye this season. I’ve only said it 13,977,562 times..but Oilily is my first clothing love. Eloise’s first outfit ever was Oilily that I bought in Amsterdam. Some of my favorites… …
Tweet The big girls went back to school today. It was a happy day until I realized how much Astrid counts on her big sisters to play with her. They play ring-around-the-rosie and hours of Candy Land. They play Little People farm and baby dolls. They sit and read to her and play dress-up….
Tweet Esther is incredibly expressive. I really need to get her on video because when she talks – she’s not just moving her mouth.We sometimes imagine a future of musical theatre for this child. She sings when she pees and hums while she eats. She sings herself to sleep and wakes up each morning with…

Tweet I don’t believe in eating small children. Or big children for that matter…but truly toddlers are so yummy. What is it about them. They are still so amazingly cute and baby-like but they can communicate and make us laugh and they aren’t old enough to just stink and be gross. They are at…
Tweet Do you see this sweet girl here. The six year old who is my sweet sunshine of light each day. The child who bounces out of bed each morning and nearly tackles everyone she sees with her hugs and snuggles and almost sings a show tune she is so happy for the morning. …
