The Girl Child Sent Her Letter

Keep in mind that she's 7.


I'll translate:

Dear Santa,

What I want for Christmas are:
Cellphone, guitar, mini v-smile with games for it, cupcake makers, easy bake stuff, chapstick, art craft kit- with colored pencils, violin, ipod with music, littlest pet shop, flat screen tv, ring, necklace, clip earrings, a my little pony and the Wii.
:0 We were watching her write this and casting sidelong glances at each other. What the heck is a mini v-smile?! And a cellphone? I don't know where she gets all this since we don't have any channels for her to be brainwashed into certain products with. She cracks me up every day.

I think a mini-v-smile is like an educational gameboy. I'm not totally sure though. Does she already have an easy bake oven but just wants more stuff for it? Kids are awesome!

She didn't say real cell phone! Get a toy one! That's what my mom did when I said I wanted a car. Boy was I excited to get a hotwheel car as a teenager ;(

LOL! It is amazing what kids ask for these days. My cousin, who is almost 13 now, has been asking for a laptop since she was 10 years old. When I was a kid all I wanted was a bicycle.


But, I will second her on wanting a Wii!

Yeah if a Wii didn't cost a mortgage payment I might want one too. They are a lot of fun.

Claire- She doesn't have anything easy bake she was just covering all her bases.

Sara- she clarified that later on when we asked her... she so wants a real one.

we are getting her dollar store stuff. We decided it was a good year to do this since they don't even know the diff yet and then they'll get a whole lot more. Oh and they are each getting their own box of cereal. My parents did this with us when I was little and I still remember how cool it was to have an entire box to yourself.

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o...

Yo-Yo Ma

Once, years ago, I got into an argument on a baby-names forum about music. A woman had posted a thread asking how other mothers felt about music and children. Her argument was that she allowed her children to listen to whatever music they wanted to because how could they possibly choose for themselves if they didn't know what to choose from. Mothers around the globe, and more specifically on the forum, applauded her. I did not. 'What types of music are you letting them listen to?' I asked. 'Jay-Z, Snoop Dog... whatever they want!' I was shocked. Her children were.... children, young enough to be significantly influenced by what they heard. I said as much and immediately became the bad guy. Attacked from all sides I found myself alone. I considered how naive I must have been to assume that it made sense to everyone that controlling what your kids saw and heard was important. It made sense to me! This goes out to my Brooklyn crew put ya guns up in th...
