I was about to leave the house for a stroll with the baby. On my way out the door, I saw this photo of Bey strolling with Blue Ivy yesterday. I looked in the mirror and decided I can do better than stretched out boyfriend jeans and flats that are a little gritty from the baking soda I sprinkled in them to lessen their smell.
I hope. But maybe not.
Here are the best things she’s stuck in her mouth so far this week:
Sophie Giraffe Vanilla Teether
I can’t vouch for the vanilla-ish of it, but I think she likes the textures. Plus, it’s small enough that she can hold it herself. Plus, she likes to show off to her best friends, the cat hair-dust bunnies on our floor, that she has a fancy French thing. Ooh-la-la!
Little Yellow Chick’s Little Crinkle
I never thought seeing how hard you can smash a crinkly square against your face (intentionally covering your mouth and nose breathing holes) could be a competitive sport, but it is!
For a fun game, try whipping these at your baby’s head. If your baby is anything like mine, it will provide your family with minutes upon minutes of laughter & delight!
One argument Beef will never win is Why don’t you just do your nails yourself? I don’t think I even need to break down the reasons why– because it’s probable there’s an old episode of King of Queens or Yes, Dear that most likely covers them for me.
However, I recently won a bottle of FACE Stockholm nail polish at a baby shower by correctly identifying photos of celebrity babies (the only one I missed was Bingham Bellamy).
This is the best nail polish I’ve ever used. It goes on smoothly, coats evenly, and saved me from Beef looking at my homemade manicure and saying Oh, THAT’S why. So sorry, Essie and OPI, I’m a changed woman.
FACE Stockholm has a line out now at J. Crew. I’m loving Cardinal Rule. Orange nails for spring, y’all. Don’t forget to spring ahead this weekend!
Posey and I are watching the kittens streaming live on HelloGiggles.com today.
You can watch them here.
Saw this at Target and couldn’t resist… $5.99
I need to buy my baby a high chair.
I want to buy my cats a high chair.
Anyone have a recommendation? For the baby kind. I’m leaning towards the Graco DuoDiner in Elefanta.
I guess a wrap dress has more in common with a swaddle sack than I’d considered before.
The collection is out March 15th in sizes newborn to teen.
It was 60 degrees in Chicago today. Posey and I took a casual stroll in our neighborhood, and I was reminded of one of the city’s charming quirks: Garbage. Everywhere. Our jaunt down Fullerton was full of swirling Wendy’s bags and empty tequila bottles. We love the city, but ever since Posey was born, I tend to see more of the negatives than the positives.
That being said, Beef and I are beginning the overwhelming task of deciding where our family will settle down– eventually. Since I grew up in the area north of the city, I am pretty much only well versed in those towns. Over the next several months, our goal is to explore some new ‘burbs, which I will chronicle here.
Up first: La Grange (23 miles from downtown)
Something about the name is so ugly. It reminds me of gangrene. It sounds like a place fun-loving youngsters go to become mangy. Then we went to visit last Sunday… and you know what? It wasn’t half bad.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall impression: I could picture us there. Beef can’t. But then again, he did have a really hard time adjusting after our last big move. Which was exactly 1.5 miles away.
1. “I saw a baby at the grocery store that looked exactly like Posey!!! She was Asian.” (Posey is made up of genes that come from every single Eastern European country that ends in “-ania.”)
2. “I bought these because he was wearing a monocle. I mean, there’s a monocle on every single one.”
3. “Wait, is the Women Tell All on tomorrow night?!”
