The how to for boys

double trouble episode 2

2010-05-11T09:59:00.000-07:00

I have mentioned before that when Dempsey and Milo get together they are less like cousins and more like partners in crime. case in point. Gavin got out of the bathtub {and didn't drain the water} and when I went in to drain it this is what I saw this...

followed by this

moral of the story is, drain the tub!

date night

2010-05-11T09:43:00.000-07:00

We went out with my sisters and brother-in-laws... oh yeah and Millie's date. We had a blast!

{if you want a fun and cheap date idea after dinner draw names and go the the dollar store, we have made it a ritual}

if the dollar store isn't your thing you could always go with plan B...

Pictionary anyone?

as you can see we brought the kids along

thanks dalin and elisse for hosting & also for taking Gavin for the night!

I wanted to find some cute cardigan sweaters for #2 and the unborn. Of course my first choice is vintage and so I went to Etsy.com.

This is what I wheedled it down to.

Etsy is not just for crafties, check it out for wonderful vintage next time you want something special for you little ones.

A New Line

I find it only fitting for this to be my first post. It isn't often that I have to stop and catch my breath when I see a new line for kids. Thank you Stella McCartney!!!!!! Gap originally asked her to design a girls line, but she told them she had to do a boys line too, and I am SO glad she did.

My boys will be rockin' in these duds for sure! Check it out the line is available Nov. 3rd at your local GAP.

And here we go...

I grew up the oldest of 7 girls and no boys. So having all boys has most definitely been a growing experience. I knew that I wanted my kids to have a defined sense of style and I was going to have to look farther than my local department store to find things that fit my aesthetic. I have collected a lot of valuable info and knowledge along the way. And now that I am expecting boy number three in a few months I felt like it was time to share my knowledge with other moms out there who aren't about to settle for cartoon T-shirts and carpenter pants. I learn so much from others so always feel free to send me your latest and greatest finds as well.
