Back in 2005, when Pea was just a couple of months old, I opened up the latest issue of “D” magazine and became instantly hooked. Hooked on what, you might ask? Baby Bean Vintage Daywear. It was late summer of 2005, I believe. And Pea was barely two months old. She was living in onesies [...]

So this is, apparently, the week of cool websites that you just need to check out. I am completely in awe of Haute Nature. I mean, really. This site is fantastic. In addition to being about creative projects, which I’m all about these days, it’s also green. As in good for everyone and everything. And [...]

We had a busy holiday weekend, as I’m sure that most of you did, too. Fireworks on Thursday night with the girls, a parade on Friday morning, and then more fireworks on Friday night.

I’ve written several posts now about the enormous consumption of sunblock in our home. We go through the stuff at a rapid pace. Especially the girls, being that they are so fair-skinned.
