    repurposed men’s shirt–>baby girl dress

    How cute was Holden’s Easter dress, repurposed from a men’s button down dress shirt?! Did I make it? Ha, let’s be real. The upcycled men’s shirt dress comes from The Bee’s Sunny Day Collection (Maisey style), a line of dresses for girls six months to six years old, handcrafted of…

    we have a biter.

    RED ALERT: We have a biter. And I’m not talking about her biting other children. I’m talking about her biting… MY girls, if you get my drift. Holden is in full-on teething mode, with two teeth at the bottom and two more suckers coming in on top. Let me tell…

    disney world recap

    Well… we survived Holden’s first trip to Disney World at 10 1/2 months old. Before you judge me as absolutely nuts for taking a baby to Disney World, let me just say 1) my parents are in the Disney Vacation Club so we go like every other year 2) yes,…

    my kid hates the grass

    Although we spent plenty of time outside during the first three months of her life, Holden needed a bit of a refresher course on the great outdoors, now that spring is upon us again. She apparently is not a fan of the texture of the grass. Hopefully we can work…

    holden’s obscene baby blanket

    My Nanny (grandmother) died two years ago today. She was a strong, stubborn, funny woman and I believe I got my trucker’s mouth from her. One of her favorite sayings was “damn good”: “Nanny, how was your dinner?” “Damn good.” “Nanny, how are you feeling?” “I’m doing damn good.” To…

    please don’t poop in the pool

    Please don’t poop in the pool. @ohbotherblog The pool at our resort has been closed down no less than three times during our stay due to… defecation. I was all psyched to try out the new Pampers Splashers swim diapers I bought for Holden, only to find that they are…

    deliveries at disney world

    Amazon.com, meet Disney World. Disney, meet Amazon. After checking out the weather forecast for our Disney trip and realizing my 10-month-old was woefully unprepared for heavy rains, I did some last-minute online shopping. As in, the night before we left. I knew that you can have stuff delivered to your…

    a sesame street birthday party

    I may be kicked out of Florida for posting this while I’m in Disney World, but I wanted to share the cutest Sesame Street-themed birthday party my friend threw for her daughter, Grace, for her 2nd birthday. I’m loving the Elmo and Oscar veggie trays! And the bow wreath is…

    we’re going to disney world. with a baby.

    We’re headed to Disney World with my 10-month-old daughter. Are we crazy? I’m a bit nervous about Holden’s first plane ride. We are lucky in that my parents are actually driving to Orlando, so most of our gear will be traveling with them. I’m planning on nursing (or bottle feeding)…

    pinterest fail 002: baby in a basket

    Before each of Holden’s quarterly photo sessions, I take to Pinterest for inspiration. Who hasn’t seen the adorable baby-in-a-basket photos that abound? So we thought we’d give it a shot. I forgot to take into account that I have a child who mean mugs any time a camera is on…
