It’s time to dress up right
Being a novice knitter myself, I have a deep appreciation for the time and effort that goes into creating a pair of children’s mittens–a project I’ve yet to successfully complete. Trouble is, even if I did manage to finish a pair, my daughter would complain of impending frostbite before she’d finished packing a single snowball. Yarn by itself is no match for wet snow.
But the M’uppet Mittens by Zooni found at My Princess Closet have solved that problem quite nicely. These hand-knitted and crocheted deep purple mittens adorned with lavender posies are lined in cozy fleece. I love how they combine gorgeous handiwork with kid-friendly functionality and a design that’s feminine without being over-the-top girly.
Because frankly, mittens that are too dainty for packing snowballs aren’t much use around here. -Julie
Congratulations to Shari M, winner of the mittens pictured above!
I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
