Constant refinement

Okay, so when I first started this blog (just a month ago), I initially wanted to focus on baby products and gear.  However, I’m finding a greater desire to expand the scope of my thoughts (for now at least) beyond baby stuff to more general vintage-inspired finds that matches my personal aesthetic.  So for the time being, I wont solely focus on products for babies.  I’m sure when it’s time for kids, the focus of the blog will change yet again.  In the meantime, please bear with this newbie to the blogging community as I continue to refine the purpose of this site and make it relevant to other readers out there.

Monster slippers – in time for Halloween!

Seeing costume stores pop up in previously empty storefronts has gotten me thinking about Halloween.  I’ve been looking for the Maggie Simpson star costume from the Simpsons for my newest nephew, but it’s surprisingly really hard to find. 

I found these darling monster slippers on Etsy that I’m thinking of getting for him instead:

Okay, gonna go back to looking for that Maggie Simpson costume online now.

Living a nomadic existence

My work entails a lot of travel, as I mentioned before.  I was in SF last Saturday, then spent 5 days in Seattle and came back to the bay area last night.  I’ll be here until Tuesday, then heading to Berkeley for an event and finally going back home on Wednesday.

Sleeping in your own bed is something that I haven’t looked forward to since, well, last fall during my travel season. 

When I get home, I promised myself to get started on writing thank-you notes from our wedding in May.  It’s something I’ve put off but I know that I should do them soon. 

I am now going to head out to take advantage of my strategic location in the heart of Union Square to do some shopping.  There’s a Goyard store right next to my hotel and they have some super  nice (but expensive) diaper bags!  Doesn’t quite fit with my usual affordable and vintage-inspired aesthetic, but a girl can at least look, right?
