But it’s this kind of stuff that tugs at my heartstrings (and, well, my ovaries. Don’t tell my husband. He’ll have a freakin’ coronary. Four kids is enough for [...]

Today’s special showcase on Etsy was baby and children’s items. And I spied these darling little pre-walkers by evie lala from Melbourne, Australia. They’re handmade from cotton or linen with a soft corduroy sole. Perfect. And darling. $25. The sheep? Her name is Charlotte. And I just love her. (She’s $35.)

I’ve been a big fan of See Kai Run shoes for a while now. My two year old twins lived in their Isaac fisherman sandals last summer. This fall, the staple has been the two-toned leather Harley style. Love them for their high quality leather and very flexible soles. And their style. I can’t leave [...]
