Amen.

At a super hipster coffeeshop in the west village

the man behind the counter takes a look at Rosie and says sweetly: that's a big one!

Indeed.

good finds

I am getting carried away with how much cute kid stuff is out there. Case in point: Winter Water Factor. Made in the U.S., certified organic, and sweet (but not saccharine) prints. Perfect as a gift for new parents or to treat your own kid to something lovely.

a new start

Rose was born at 10:01 am on Tuesday, October 21, 2014.

Almost seven months later (at 10:01 am on Tuesday, May 19, 2015) , I have enough of my act together to start a place online to collect snippets - stories, resources, etc. - for and about my sweet baby rose head.
