So. Biggest hiatus ever in the history of this blog. Jeepers. Suffice it to say I’ve been itching to write – oh, so many posts in my head – but was away for a whole week at leadership camp (MOTL) and returned home just in time for my firstborn’s fifth birthday (as yet herein uncommemorated!

DIY Tie-Dye Jamboree! Shirts, shoes, and a jillion tiny socks.
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been attracted to things that are tie-dyed. I love the fluid shapes and patterns and the vibrant colours. Fortunately for me, tie-dyed clothing is one of the 80s trends I like that came back! (Along with some that make me wince a little, such as crimped hair.) I Read More
Dilovely’s Extra Oscars 2014
I look forward to our friend Karissa’s Oscar party every year. Good friends, yummy food, fun trivia, and unfiltered commentary. Plus swag bags. And this year, I was kidless, which is an automatic PARTAY and de-stressing moment. (No offense to my wonderful kids.) I didn’t know if I was just my mindset that evening, but Read More
Freezing and Thawing and Partying
It’s been a memorable holiday season. Christmas that was both black(out) and crazily white… So much awesome family… Yummy food and festive music… Gratuitous cuteness…. Now here we are. Gearing up to go back to school and normal life tomorrow, while also battening down for another storm. Bracing for back-to-school germs, now that both kids Read More

Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue # 16: Party Dress
We’ve had some festive times lately, and I do tend to milk those, fashion-wise, when it comes to Baby AB. The wedding in Cape Cod was obviously an important opportunity to wear this pink gingham with satin roses. The dress being sleeveless – and Cape Cod being quite windy – we added the sweater (beautifully Read More
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #15: “Summer” Theatrics
Last week, the weather showed us how flexible it can be in September. On Tuesday it was 34C (93F), feeling like 42C (108F) with the humidity. (Inside my school, ’twas even hotter.) So although school has started, we were reminded that IT IS STILL SUMMER, Y’ALL. Then a few days later, it got down to Read More
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #14: Salmon and Carmine
When we were kids, we had one jillion pencil crayons, courtesy of my dad. Mostly Laurentians and Prismacolors. They were kept in three old sorbet containers, one for warm colours, one for cool colours, and one for neutrals. We spent a lot of time colouring, and knew well the nuances of Deep Yellow versus Lemon Read More
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #13: Hello Kitty
Stuff people want to put on baby girl clothes, as we’ve seen: ruffles, pinkness, flowers, bows. Also: KITTIES. *** [subscribe2]
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #12: She’s Got Good Jeans
Jeans on a baby are undeniably cute. Any time you see a baby in “grown-up” clothes, it just tickles the medial ventral pre-frontal cortex, amiright? Unfortunately, they’re not very practical – hard to get on the baby, and hard for her to sit properly with them on. Especially because she’s cloth-diapered and therefore has bubble-butt. Read More
