I haven’t been blogging much lately.
My reason?
Introducing our new baby! He was born on Halloween, which means there should be some fun costume-themed birthday parties in our future. 🙂
T. is a doting big brother; he thinks our baby is “soooo cuuuute” and pretty much can’t stop kissing him. (I think he’s 100% right, of course!)

I’ve got a couple of new posts in the works–but for now, I want to share a bizarre product with you: Disney Princess Hair Extensions.
Unlike the Disney Princess Burpee seeds, which feature a normal product in a licensed package, these hair extensions are kind of surreal. They feature pictures of the princesses printed ON THE HAIR ITSELF! They’re like tattoos your for daughter’s hair.
I’m almost entranced by their tackiness.
“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your tattoo-sleeved-hair to me!”
So strange.
Has anyone seen a stranger Disney Princess licensed product out there? If so, please share–I have to hear about it!

Australia has had some major problems with the gender gap, this is a recent advertising campaign for flavored syrup/cordial titles “boys vs girls – the oldest showdown”

As a girl that grew up with the little mermaid, no wonder I wanted to be a “tom-boy” so badly. To be taken seriously and get some respect. 😦 The objectification still happened unfortunately.
Thank you so much for writing these articles, you’re an inspiration for a better future.
Whoops may have left this in the wrong post! D: Sorry .
