Boys' Clothing

It is time. The Halloween catalogs have started arriving at my house. My kids are changing their minds about “what they will be” for Halloween on a daily basis. And, unfortunately, every costume idea so far seems to be mass-produced crap. Can’t we find something better?
And off to Etsy, I went. Here are a few [...]

And……I’m back. Exhaling after the first week of school for my big kids. The little ones won’t start until after Labor Day. But, schedules (even for half of the kids) are good at our house. So, I’m back.
In church this morning, I was thinking that my oldest will make his First Communion this school year. [...]

Okay, I know it’s still July. And it’s, oh, just a little bit hot outside. A bit sticky here in the Midwest at least. But I came across these darling wool coats and capes for Fall/Winter 2009 today. They’re by Patouche out of Canada.
Patouche’s fall line was inspired by Little-Red-Riding-Hood’s wander through the woods and [...]

I gravitate to old-fashioned, classic kids’ clothing and shoes. Don’t get me wrong – I love modern, fun and funky as much as the next person. 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 [...]

My two-year-old twins love to play my husband’s drums. LOVE the drums. FIGHT over the drums. OBSESSED with the drums.
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 [...]

Remember the Lauren sneakers that Umi Shoes sent me to try out? (Loved them.) Well, they also sent me a pair of little boys’ Gator sandals. I had to wait a while before we could really break them in and check them out – thanks, Kansas weather…but they were worth the wait.

These are on my [...]

Maybe it’s because I’m the mom of three boys (and one girl – but the point of this is the boys). Maybe it’s because I’m married to a corporate-world-by-day, wannabe-rock-star-guitar-player-by-night. But as I browsed through the great choices for tweens at Juvie, these Kingsley t-shirts popped out at me every time.
I’ve featured Kingsley before – [...]

Tea Collection’s spring line is inspired by South America – Brazil, in particular. The fruits of this inspiration are delicious!
I adore this dress – it is so simple and bright and modern. But still perfect for a little girl who is not trying too hard to be a big girl yet.

And this polo is a [...]
