You know when Moms say their kid loves something but you really know that what they mean is that they love that thing and force it mercilessly on their kids? Well, I swear to you this is not one of those times. THE GIRL LOVES SHOES. When we go out I have to steer clear of any shops where there… Read more →

Hip to Big Kid Stuff
A couple of months ago, Dee and I were at Super Target (where I now do so much of my grocery shopping because HOLY HELL is it well priced there) and passed by the newborn section. She spotted a bear rattle and {like she says about pretty much everything cuddly she lays eyes on} she announced: “Mommy, I want that… Read more →
Could Mermaids Really Be Part Of Our World?
{via Animal Planet} It was billed as a documentary. I caught wind of it on Twitter and immediately set my TIVO (or, y’know, the crappy cable company loaner I call a TIVO — whatever). We put the kiddo to bed, and settled in to watch the two hour Charlie Foley piece Mermaids: The Body Found. I actually started it while… Read more →
I Can’t Stop Staring At These Prints
I’m pretty obsessively focused on completing my living room wall right now – it’s been near empty for the past two years, and now that life feels nice and full again, I feel like my living room wall needs to reflect that tiny triumph. (Oh MAN, that was so dramatic. Relax, self.) Ahem. Claudia Varosio takes pop culturally awesome films… Read more →
Have You Heard About Stitch?
{via alexandrawrote} We’re dog people around these parts. You might have kind of guessed that from the accidental menagerie I so often moan about, or the fact that Scott’s entire professional life is devoted to the care and well being of canines. So when we hear a story like Stitch’s (and thank Moses we’ve never before heard a story quite… Read more →
Tog + Porter Makes the Girl
Before childbirth? No one ever asked me to wear all white to a party, save for my wedding, and ballet slipper satin isn’t exactly a clingy fabric. But since I had a kid and started a blog white party invites come about SHOCKINGLY often. (Okay twice, but still.) My recent trip to Miami would be no exception, so I made… Read more →
Somebody’s Got a Case of the Mondays.
Or maybe I just don’t want the weekend to end. Weekdays make my head hurt. Friday night I had dinner at SoHo House with one brilliant old friend and met some brilliant new friends. I got all dressed up and felt very fancy. I ate a cheeseburger in my silk dress while discussing ancient amazonian therapies and billionaire psyches. Friends… Read more →

Here is a brief sampling of some of my favorite discoveries: Coin Banks via RockScissorsPaper Bittersweet Desserts via NinjaBot Wooden Card via Cardtorial Hand Painted Vintage Housewares via The Bocket Store Graphic Tee via… Read more →
“Mommy Wars”: An Argument About Us, Around Us, But Not Between Us.
By now you’ve seen this weekend’s TIME cover, right? The one where 26-Year-Old Jamie Lynne Grumet is breastfeeding her upright, not-quite-four-year-old-son Aram. I’m not really interested in talking about the image and the shock value it was selected for. I breastfed Delilah to 14 months myself, and I think that the decision to breastfeed, to extended breastfeed, or to not… Read more →
