Wow, it’s a good thing there’s no shortage of baby fashion cuteness, because finding more than eight consecutive minutes to rub together (?) for a REAL blog post is, like, not happening these days. And blogging is like exercising for me – if I don’t do it for extended periods, guilt eats away at me….

Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #7: Beautiful Butterflies
Who doesn’t love a pretty butterfly? (Actually, I can tell you who. The last time I was at the Butterfly Conservatory with E and AB and some friends, there was a preschool group there and several of the kids screeched in terror when butterflies landed on them. Even though a butterfly-landing is like the cherished…
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #6: Flirty Skirts
Here are two li’l outfits given to Baby AB by good friends. SKIRTS ATTACHED TO PANTS. Such a good idea for a baby! Although since she’s a cloth diaper-wearer (read: bubble-butt) she outgrows the skirts sooner than the tops. *** [subscribe2]
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #5: Sleepy Six-Pack
So… yeah, sleepers aren’t exactly clothes. But if anyone can get away with wearing pajamas for daytime fashion, it’s babies. And again – they’re too cute not to be documented. (You can maybe tell there are a bunch of different ages represented.) Something about babies inspires clothing designers to CUPCAKES. I guess ‘cuz they’re small…
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #4: “Innocent Lilac”
Happy Victoria and First Peoples Day! It’s been a gorgeous summery day that was supposed to be raining. (And last week on Mother’s Day it snowed. WTF, FTW!) Today’s feature is actually from today, for once. A beautifully simple dress, bequeathed by my friend Sally, that begs to be paired with lilacs in full bloom….
Happy Six Months, Baby Girl!
Dear Baby A, You are now half a year old! You are growing so fast! Just in the last two weeks, you have cut your first two teeth and learned to roll over, both ways. Here are some other things you have recently learned to do: wiggle while lying on your back, until you scootch…
Maple Syrup Day
Yesterday we – E, Baby A, Daddy, Grammie, Papa, Uncle Ben and I – trekked to Westfield Heritage Village for a “Sweet Taste of Spring.” We weren’t the only ones – it was packed, and the atmosphere was festive. We went last year at maple syrup time, too, but the temperature was in the 20s…
The Anatomy of a Mum-Mum
Baby Mum-Mums. For parents of teething babies, they are saviour and anathema at once. How do they work? No one knows exactly. I am baffled, myself. They are delicate enough to be crushed to smithereens in your purse (preferably inside the package). They yield appropriately to the gentle crocodile-fierce pressure of a teething baby’s jaws….
Eight Random Things with Brilliant Segues
{Actually, I make no guarantees that the segues will be brilliant. But whatever.} My last post was a downer, I know. But now! I am able to lighten up for the following reasons: 1. I have awesome friends/family/Di-hards. THANK YOU for your sympathy and support, and offers of help. I hope I haven’t worried you…
For my sweet grandmother
I have one living grandparent, my dad’s mother. She is a treasure of a person. I remember a particular conversation we had when I was seven or eight, while she was visiting from Texas. We were out in my backyard together, talking about boys as I swung on the swingset. I asked her earnestly, “Wina,…
