We asked one of our favorite mamas-on-a-budget for the single best fifteen-dollar-kiddie-investment. Her reply:
“LEG WARMERS! So cute, so practical. A simple way to add a layer when it’s wicked cold, and easy to remove when baby gets overheated during his fifth hour at the mall when you’re trying madly to finish all your xmas shopping.”
We couldn’t agree more. They make a charming budget-conscious gift. We love the flash-dance-y feeling of these. Now just cut off the collar of baby’s baggy grey sweatshirt, tease her bangs, and the look is complete.

We can’t believe we’re writing about lawns. In our own gender-biased way, we’ve consigned the notion of a perfect green to big men chasing little balls or anal men whacking weeds in a quest for control over something. But our ears perked up...
