best swim suits I’ve seen in a long time

January 31st, 2009

It is really hard to find a 2 piece bathing suit for little girls that doesn’t look like it is from the pages of Sports Illustrated. There is a very narrow window in life where string bikinis are appropriate, somehow I totally missed it, but that is a different story altogether. I think all kids bathing suits should be 2 piece, for logistical reasons, but call me old fashioned, I think they should be cut modestly. Here are 2 that I LOVE. The hearts are from Old Navy and the zigzags are from the GAP. It’s been awhile since they have really nailed bathing suites, but I think this is going to be a good year in this regard. The other 2 are sadly not 2 piece, but so super cute, it may be worth the ridiculous bathroom hassles that these would no doubt entail. Green is GAPkids girls and red is BabyGAP toddler sized.

Turtle-y oh turtle-y

January 27th, 2009

My littlest one loves turtles. So much so, that she wrote her very own ode to turtles, called “turtle-y oh turtle-y”. Maybe for next year’s back to school, if the turtle is not merely just a hot trend that will be off the runways by then…
But wait, it gets even better. This pack has a few interesting features. It has a leash! For some reason this doesn’t bother me as much as the harnesses that you strap on your kids the same way you would on your family dog. Maybe because they call it a safety strap, maybe because it is not actually strapped on to the child. How about that hood, though. Does your kid have the attitude to pull this off?

New Mommy Card store, Mommy-Cards.com

January 26th, 2008

I’ve just launched a new web store selling my Mommy Card card designs. While I’m still completely in love with Etsy, and plan to keep my etsy site up and running, I thought I’d give web store ownership a try and see what happens..

The site is still in progress - but it’s actually up and running. Very exciting. Now I have to learn about search engine optimization and internet marketing. We’ll see how this goes!
