When I saw this little dress online, I really wasn't sure how it would be in person - that's online shopping for you. Would it be too bright? The pattern too bold? Too... jungle-y?! As it turns out, it's divine. It's got shades of greens, corals, pinks, and yellows - very groovy and retro-feeling. … [Read more...]
Looking At Your Life
The other night, Ava Scarlett kept coming into the kitchen holding up photos in her hands, asking me who's this? and where was this? and is this Oliver or me? and was I borned yet? She must have come to see me about a dozen times before I finally followed her back to the TV room, whereupon I found … [Read more...]

The Girl With the Tortoise-Shell Glasses
"Dear Parent, your child's vision was screened at school today. We recommend you follow up with an appointment at the optometrist," read the note she came home with a couple weeks ago.

Urban Kid Closet – June 6th, 2012
It's getting warmer out there... I have to say that butterflies tend to be my least favourites in motifs in clothing for girls. (Hearts are a close runner-up.)

You might know about this … [Read more...]

Oh, Karenna. There is no one like this girl.No one as quirky, no one as hot-tempered, no one as imaginative, no one as silly, no one as hilarious. To know her is to love her. Here's to my middle child, the icing in the sisterly Oreo. … [Read more...]
Dining Al Fresco and Talking
Today she said, "Hey mummy, do you think we can eat on the balcony outside? It's such a beautiful day, you know. Is that unusual?"She drops new words in and out of her sentences these days, not always sure they fit. Me: What do you mean?She: Hmm?Me: What do you mean by, is that unusual. Is what … [Read more...]
