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]
I can hardly wait to be perfect.
Someday, I’m going to be SO organized that I will be perfect. In fact, my entire family will be perfect, because of my contagious perfection. (And my husband’s constant, inspirational quest for self-improvement.) This Perfect Me will get good exercise every day, outdoors when weather permits. She will remember without fail to take her vitamins….
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….
Baby AB’s Fashion Blog – Issue #3: “Piglette”
I always kinda felt like Piglet should be a girl. He’s SO CUTE, and wears pink, and seriously, the only other girl in Winnie The Pooh is Kanga, right? Someone else should be a girl. Anyway. As an adult, I appreciate that Piglet bent the gender a bit with his choice of attire. As a…
Creamy Spring Cauliflower-Cheddar-Sorrel Soup
Our family is lucky enough to be able to buy super-fresh, uber-local veggies from gardener friends of ours. Our first batch included pea shoots, green onions, rhubarb, and sorrel. To my knowledge, I had never cooked with or even eaten sorrel. It sounded like something from Outlander. But I figured, sorrel is a green leafy…
BANG Movie Review: The Great Gatsby
I read a high-school copy of The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald in Monteverde, Costa Rica, at my host family’s house, during a teaching internship. I also read I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings and The Bluest Eye, but The Great Gatsby was the most incongruous story in a place where the houses…
The Blooming Season
This weekend is a big one for me. On Saturday, I’ll be thirty-five years old. (Holy smokes.) And of course, Sunday is Mother’s Day. Over the past week or so, something has been making me feel slightly odd and touched in the head. There’s been a phantom baby inside me. Not that I have actual…
