- I think this was my favorite look yet from Secrets From a Stylist. Did you like it too? (So much pink!)
- How do you talk to little girls? Do you compliment them on their looks before anything else? (I see this all the time when I’m out with Eleanor.)
- Design matters.
- Clara’s closet is pretty cute.
- She’s calling off the jam. (Roller derby, it’s hard to quit you.)
I also write for Babble’s Family Style blog. Here’s what I’ve been sharing there…
- These pom pom pillows actually manage to look grownup! OK, and there’s a cute kid version to check out too.
- Awesome social media propaganda posters. Join the cause!
- 6 cute colorful watches. (I like the red one.)
- Oh, look! The perfect gift for that Libertarian uncle of yours!

Just thought I’d let you know. If you can’t get there, I can go & pay for it & have them hold it until you can pick it up. Then you can just pay me back. I trust you.

August 5, 2011 at 2:45 pmThe article on how to talk to little girls offered some very interesting perspective. When my now 14 yr. old daughter was Eleanor’s age, she got a lot of attention because she had a head full of gorgeous Shirley Temple-esque ringlets. But really I think thatany time that strangers talk to or compliment your children is a great opportunity for them to practice language, social skills and small talk etiquette! Have a great weekend!

I am always amazed at the things you manage to find across the “world wide web!” I would love it if you took a look at my quirky video on how to make an Israeli salad…I dabbled in a little stop-motion animation and decided to tell a little love story with the vegetables :) If anything, I think you might like the song to!
