What is up with gender neutral baby clothing? Why is it all so meh?
Yellow duckies! Green froggies! Alright, I get that yellow + green are the gender neutral go-tos for parents who have decided to keep the status of their unborn baby’s genitalia a surprise.
But I don’t want to dress my newborn in pajamas with stripes and polka-dotted frogs. No substantial reason. Simple vanity.
Why can’t there be like… turquoise honey badger onesies? Or footie pajamas with a giraffe riding bareback on a unicorn.
Oh, this is kind of cute.
Hood up, mini-me

I could wear matching gray sweats and then we could be all heyyyyyy, gray hoodie patrollllllll at the hospital. No?

I saw this on Pinterest this week and started laughing hysterically. Seriously, I wish I thought of it.

I cannot find the original site, despite my Google search engine skills. If you find it, could you link me so I can pin this very clever creator properly? :)

Speaking of Pinterest, I’ve gotten a couple ROO YOU WERE FOLLOWING ME AND NOW YOU’RE NOT FOLLOWING ME I HATE YOU WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
So, I did some research. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. I think if I follow *all* of your boards, then Pinterest will tell you that I’m following you. If I only follow some, then Pinterest will somehow tell you that I’m not following you.
I unfollow specific boards that are not relevant to me. Examples: Wedding Idea Boards, Boards with Products for Your Pets, Boards with Activities for Grade School Boys, Short Blonde Hairstyle Idea Boards, Scrapbooking Idea Boards, etc.
You get the picture. If I find myself owning pets, ten year old boys, or suddenly having a penchant for scrapbooking, wedding planning, or hair bleaching, I WILL BE ALL UP ON YOUR BOARDS, I promise. :)

If you’ve ever lamented not looking like a magazine spread, please watch this video. It is fantastic.
I’ve done a little research on this before – Victoria’s Secret is one of the worst offenders. Google it sometime. You’ll see pictures where the leg bone is obviously not connected to the hip bone; one arm is Photoshopped slimmer than the other; shadows are all off, etc.
Thanks to Jennifer Oleson for posting it on the NiceGirlNotes Facebook page. :)

Mama May i is an adorable handmade shop featuring wooden toys (a hit a previous Cute Stuff Sales). Also on Faceybooky.
Along for the Ride is offering all of her cabochon jewelry at 10% off with the code ‘cab10.’ Once they’re gone, they’re alllll gooone. Laura’s going on a mini-vacation from February 1st to the 4th, so hit her up now if you’re looking for something ca-uute.
Hit up Quite Crafty‘s Facebook page for special deals on crocheted items (like the slouchy hat that 73% of my friends now own. That statistic isn’t official.)
