tired mom – kam – north seattle
i pretty much HAVE to post photos of my kid. and i could go on and on about how awesome he is, and cute… but pictures say it all. labor… long. baby… big. but it was all worth it. now i have this rad little guy to hang out with, and we’ve been having fun. and of course i’ve been accosting him with my camera. what are moms for?
above: the first week. babies scream. who knew. but when they’re not screaming, they’re sleeping. and they’re pretty cute. for more photos Read more
kid’s clothing – flora and henri – oddfellows building – capitol hill
i asked siena and her parents to accompany me to flora and henri to check out their beautiful new space in the oddfellows building. situated next to molly moon’s (how’s that for trying-on-clothes bribery?) the showroom is open, spacious and gives the impression of something special. a variety of unique toys, and special baby gifts… this is a place as much to pick up your child’s next play shirt, as your family’s next heirloom.
i spoke with the owner about their years in the business (twelve), the different spots they’ve occupied, and how she’s feeling about their spot on the hill (very good). other than the clothing (which was exceptional), i was most impressed with the manufacturing conscience. teaching a trade, proceeds to orphanages… isn’t it great that on top of the well made product, you’re supporting the idea that consumerism doesn’t have to be a naughty word? it’s satisfying when small business does all the things you learned ‘couldn’t be done’ in corporate manufacturing america. small units, benefitting the people who produce it, good margin… and a quality, saleable product. good things do come in small packages.

we had such a pretty halloween this year. wasn’t this a beautiful fall weekend…? i had the remnants of a cold, but didn’t let that stop me from getting out to ballard to see the trick or treaters with my friends and their ‘little cat’. if you don’t have kids, it’s almost cute overload. i especially loved the parents who were: the beekeepers to their bees, the chef to their cupcake, the chicken to their chick, and the mexican wrestler to their spider man. participation and imagination were awesome.

my friend’s husband (ok, HE’S my friend now too) is in department of energy. they’re good. and i truly enjoyed hearing them at the sky church. i also slaved over appropriate band wear for their daughter FOREVER. i’m kidding, it took me ten minutes and i was *ahem* tipsy… but isn’t it cute ? anything is cute that size. especially those pink, hello kitty wellies…
rocker mom style – bumbershoot

i try not to take photos from the back…and if i do, i tend to go find people. i was a little on sensory overload, and honestly, forgot. but…i loved her fun style, and if that IS her child, he’s pretty hip too.
