Boys' Clothing

In honor of the Memorial Day holiday and our nation’s troops, present and past, many kids are sporting the red, white and blue this weekend. And I know that many more will break out their patriotic clothes for Fourth of July weekend as well. There’s more to choose from than the flag t-shirt at Old [...]

My seven-year-old daughter is chomping at the bit, dying to make her First Communion. Or, more accurately, dying to dress up in the fancy white dress and veil for the day. One more year…
My eight-year-old son did make his First Communion earlier this month. As you know if you’ve read this blog at all, I [...]

In church this morning, I was thinking that my oldest will make his First Communion this school year. [...]

And we often refer to them as “squirrels” because they’re, well, squirrel-y.
So, when I saw this t-shirt at Blue Sky Rocket, I laughed out loud.

At Blue Sky Rocket, $18.

I – very stupidly – got my first sunburn of the season this weekend. Sitting out at my son’s soccer game. My kids, of course, were slathered in sunscreen – by me – and were well-protected from the sun’s harmful rays. Amazing, isn’t it, how moms watch out for their kids’ health and safety and [...]
