We love Freshly Picked moccasins at the Whoorl household. We really love them. So much that Wita pretty much wears two pairs of shoes for 85% of the year. Freshly Picked moccasins in the fall and winter, and Saltwater Sandals in the spring and summer. Now, Wito has graduated from the leather mocs because he [...]
Hello! Guess what time I woke up today? 4:30am! So awesome, right? *death stare* I woke up to little Wita crying and moaning. She didn’t feel warm, so we got up and took a little bath while the rest of the west coast slept. I guess you could say I was feeling a bit tired, [...]
I’ve posted hundreds of photos of hair inspiration over the years, but I’ve never really done a roundup of hairstyles for the younger set. Now, as you can see above, I’m a huge proponent of the toddler bob. Nothing could be cuter! (I know, I know…I’m a little biased.) Regardless of length, though, little girls’ [...]
My car stereo has been usurped by my daughter. The days of a few little ditties by The Black Keys or Andrew Bird with a Backyardigans single thrown in for good measure are over. Done. Finito. It’s fully Nickelodeon up in here with Wita at the helm. Now, I have always fancied myself a fair [...]
From the looks of my recent blog posts, I might be going through a little something or other in regards to Wito. I mean, I think I’ve written about him more in the past few weeks than I have in the past few years combined. I’m just so wistful about him growing up, and I [...]
Walking to Wito’s soccer game this weekend. D: “Well, aren’t you two cutesy.” Me: “Uhhh, what do you mean?” D: “You and Wito match perfectly.” Me: “Oh! You’re right….oh NO. No no no. I can’t. I can’t be that person. I CAN’T BE THE COLOR COORDINATED SOCCER MOM.” D: “Well, you kind of are. Even [...]
I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around first grade. I mean, FIRST GRADE. First grade is the real deal. Wito is growing up so fast, yet still needs me so much, and finding that balance between standing back and being there for him (letting him order his own food, yet still wiping [...]
1. House update! We are officially homeowners, you guys! I AM HOMEOWNER, HEAR ME ROAR. We got the keys yesterday afternoon, and the demo crew showed up bright and early this morning. This is going on right this very minute. (I am a crazy picture-taking woman when it comes to the house. You guys are [...]
Wito started first grade today. Well, he started his true first day of 1st grade in July, but with our impending move, we changed school districts, and now he’s starting his SECOND first day of 1st grade today at the new school. Crikey. As you can imagine, mama didn’t get much sleep last night. That’s [...]
Over the past few years, we’ve rarely strayed from Wito’s signature hairstyle. You’ve seen it before…the swoopy, longer bangs in the front…short, but not too short in the back… It just suits him. Not that the haircut doesn’t have its drawbacks, though. It can get a little hot and sweaty all up in there, and [...]
Gilt Kids is gearing up for back to school by kicking off an exclusive sale on one of my favorite brands in the whole wide world, Jacadi. Ohhhh, it’s some cute business, I tell ya. Visit www.gilt.com/backtoschool to check out all the goodies. (Plus, from August 13th to August 16th, they are offering 25% off [...]
I recently had a full-on Mr. Mom moment at Wito’s school. The honking, the traffic flow volunteer flashing me the “roll down your window while I admonish your blatant disregard for the drop-off procedure” sign (if you are wondering- it’s moving the right arm in a cranking motion with a side of evil eye), the [...]
This one turns six this weekend. HUH WHUT? This one would like to remind you that she’s two. She’s growing like a weed. I got some new kicks. The brighter, the faster, right? Early summer morning ritual. Can’t get enough watermelon. The House That Got Away = Lots of Thinkin’ and Not So Much Sleepin’ [...]
My love for stripes has been documented many times (this is probably considered a problem by some), but my adoration is still going strong. Gilt Baby & Kids has some great nautical-inspired pieces on sale right now, so I’m thinking you must check them out soon. You can sign up for a free Gilt account [...]
