In Search of the Perfect Headband

So I was having a long conversation with my sister the other day about one of our favorite baby gifts - the sock monster. Her sister-in-law was the one who sent it to us. It is this awesome mesh bag that looks like a monster for kids to put their dirty socks in, and then you can just zip it and throw the whole bag in the wash so that you never lose any of your socks. We love it. Especially now that Alma has to have her socks changed four times a day. Anyways, I was asking her where it came from and she told me about this website - www.etsy.com which is like e-bay, but the prices are fixed and everything is homemade. I am now addicted, and spent the better part of three days spending all my free time in search of the perfect giant flower headband for Alma's baby pictures. I ended up buying three different awesome baby picture items - and one of them arrived in the mail yesterday. Since I am an instant gratification kind of girl I had to put it on Alma last night after her bath and take some pictures. Don't worry, we will still use it in her official baby pictures, but here is a sneak preview. And let me just say, you should all be VERY excited about her baby pictures because the other items we ordered are even more adorable!

  1. Can I just say that is the cutest headband I have ever seen. It is as big as her head. Do you think you could wear it for a picuture also, because I would like to see that. Even better, get one for Dan and you can all match. Score one for no gender boundaries.

  2. Etsy is lovely, and addicting! My sister introduced me to it about a year ago. I hardly ever look because I can waste far too much time on there! The other day I spent like 3 hours looking for wall hangings to put in the baby's room. I swear, no one does basic art in primary colors, it is driving me INSANE
