Easter Dresses Bring Out The Very Worst In Little Girl ‘Kiddie Fashion’

This past weekend, my mother-in-law and I made our annual trip to the department store with my daughter in tow, ready to pick out the perfect Easter Dress. I knew that it was going to be difficult to balance my conservative MIL’s love of traditional, girly modesty and my daughter’s love of anything a girl in a Disney sitcom might wear.

Adele Took Her Baby Who Has No Name Shopping In Los Angeles, Breaking News: No Name Has Legs

So Adele, who is slated to show up at the Golden Globes tonight took her baby No Name out shopping for baby stuff and we all still don’t know his name yet. And although I think it’s super cool that Adele is being so protective of her son that none of us knows his name yet, I find it kind of weird that she is so protective and secretive about him that she would drag him out in Los Angeles, also known as The Paparazzi Pit From Hell More »

The Tricky Politics Of Hand-Me-Down Children’s Clothes

I was the youngest of seven cousins. I know a little something about hand-me-down clothes. As a child, there were times when I had 10 different pairs of jeans that were all two inches short at the ankles and one inch wide at the waist. (I was the stickiest stick-girl to ever live.)
