On Thursday after the Boston Marathon, the kids’ school hosted its annual art show, where all the students proudly display the work they’ve created under the tutelage of Jill, the school’s amazingly talented and energetic art teacher. It’s always such a lovely event, with art displayed all over the campus in the classrooms, in the office, on the walkways. Jill, read more
Good afternoon, friends! As you know, we recently held a giveaway for our new aden+anais Dream Blankets! If you missed it, it may be because you’re not following us on Facebook. (Now would be a good time to do that so you don’t miss another giveaway opportunity!) We’re also carrying the aden+anais swaddle blankets, too, in case you hadn’t heard. read more
Last week before we were to leave town for spring break, we noticed that two out of three B boys were looking a little suspect and rashy. The Eldest looked like he’d been slapped in the face a few times, and after karate, my mom noticed #3 had a little bumpy rash forming just below his ear. Rather than head read more
Y’all. It’s cold here. We had a baseball game on Friday night, and both kids had on four layers of shirts. I know my roommate, Missy, who’s lived in Chicago for the past 8 years, is shaking her head in disbelief at us right now seeing as her kids go outside and play at school as long as it’s above read more
Some of y’all have read about my carpool escapades, about the kinds of banter that gets batted around inside the automatic doors of the Hottessy. Thanks to a very gracious co-carpooler who also happens to be a morning person, I only drive carpool one morning a week, but drive 4 of the 5 afternoons. Though I do enjoy the afternoon read more
It’s been quiet on the blog, but not in the studio. We’ve been getting our Jellycat Bunny on over here, shipping them to every corner of the country, from Redondo Beach, California, to North Little Rock, Arkansas, to Jersey to Key West. These bunnies don’t care if it’s hot or cold or snowy or sunny where you live, and if read more
First of all, I realize it’s supposed to be #TBT, but I’m behind. So it’s #ThrowBackFriday here at Peekawhoo. Remember about 4 years ago when that bit was circulating on Facebook, 25 Things? Yes? No? Well I’m recycling it. Partly because I’m lazy, and partly because we’re up to our (monogrammed) ears in Jellycat bunnies over here, which is awesome read more
Every time I call my 98 year-old grandfather, I have a little contest to see how long I can keep him on the phone. Historically laconic in phone conversations, he comes from an era when long-distance calls were expensive and only saved for the most urgent or necessary of situations. I’d say my record is 3 minutes, give or take, read more
From Miami to Key West. All the really good photos-courtesy of Jay. All the rest by me.
Good morning, friends! Just a note to say we’ve received a big shipment of Angel Dear Lovies and Angel Dear Blankets, knowing that these will be perfect for your little ones for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter! And finally, the Angel Dear pink elephant blanket is back in stock…hooray! Considering I just threw away our Halloween candy (gross, I know), I’m trying to read more
A few days ago, I haphazardly decided to tidy up my car a bit. Now for most of you, this means bringing in your coffee cup from that morning and perhaps the jacket and scarf you were wearing that day, possibly your purse and your phone. For me, this process is a bit more involved. Heather can attest to my read more
Alternate Title: Why I’m Worried I Have the Same Haircut I Did in Seventh Grade. Please see below: Note how I surreptitiously slipped in that hoodie in the second photo? Cute, isn’t it? Local folks, head to Peekawhoo and let us make you one! And note the dress in the third photo; I took that out of my Mom’s closet read more
I’m not talking about the kind of pinning this stud used to do- -though given the opportunity, I could write for days and days about the years 1984-1988, about undefeated seasons, singlets, wrestling shoes, rubber sweatsuits, about sweaty guys spitting in cups to make weight, about how I was the “Towel Girl” for the wrestling team, and how we traveled read more
I don’t know about you, but I’m in a bit of a post-Christmas, post-New Years’, post- heyit’sbeforenoonbutwhowantsadrink? kind of situation over here, ie don’t want to get out of my pajamas, don’t want to run, don’t want to leave the house, do want to drink Mimosas at all hours, do want to watch movies, do want to read cookbooks and read more

The year before we were to send the Eldest to kindergarten, I pledged to visit a variety of schools in our community, determined to discover which was the best fit for our child and our family. I was reluctant to visit the Montessori school they attend now, knowing that as soon as I did, I’d fall in love with it read more

#TBT, on the Eights.
Recently I’ve been dipping into the closet in the guest bedroom, the one where more often than not I’ll find Lucy snoozing on the bed, pretending she can’t see me since she knows she’s not supposed to be on there and if she’s not looking at me, then I can’t see her, obviously. This closet houses old longalls and jon read more »
