Little Mama Gives Back :: Teaching The Gift of Giving at Christmas (With Elf Feet)
We have been pretty on top of things this year – and when I say ‘on top of things‘, I mean, we actually DID things this Christmas. Crafts, Holiday family activities (we finally got to ride that horse and buggy!), fun, lame, warm, cold – whatevs! We did it. That’s light years ahead of what we […]
From Princess to Air Force Pilot :: Microfashion for Pretend Play Up and Away Jackets
Ever since Little Mama turned 3 years old, she has been more inclined to playing pretend rather than experiencing reality – which is quintessentially a snore fest for her. She would pretend to be a world renowned cook, an organic grocer, a funky princess (naturally), an embittered mermaid, a busy mommy, an exhausted daddy – she pretended […]
From Princess to Paleontologist :: Microfashion for Pretend Play Up and Away Jackets
This may come as a shock to you, but I am secretly thrilled that my 4 year old Little Mama has the uncanny ability to spend a limited amount of time playing princesses, while spending an abundant remainder of the time rolling around in the dirt playing with toy trucks. It’s not that I always wished […]
Remembrance Day & Veterans Day :: Remembering Those Who Served

A Teddy Bear On the Loose #Shedressedherself #WordlessWednesday #Linky
A Teddy Bear (who happened to dress herself today – not bad…) is on the loose. Be on the lookout. She has been seen jumping around town… Skipping and singing repeated verses of Frozen songs… Most likely due to the fact that she is still freezing her furry buns off. She is known to be in […]

5 Funky Ways to Wear Funky-legs, Day 2 – CITY GIRL MEETS OCEAN GREEN #5daysofFunky
It’s Day Two of our 5 Days of Funky, and coincidentally, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. So this time around, we decided to forego the leprechaun-chic look similar to what we did (more like, what the poor little leprechaun succumbed to) 3 years ago, and go for something a little more… subtle. After all, we are officially […]
Winter Blues and Looking Fab #Giveaway USA/CANADA
With all the time we have spent with Oil & Water Rainwear, it’s no wonder we have acquired a new level of expectation when it comes to rainwear. Yes. We have become the proverbial rain gear snob.

Spring is here – and fortunately for us, the sun is making its way through the clouds. But LD… why so blue?
