Perfectly Imperfect

Because kitchen sink baths are all the rage when you're 10 months.

This was my first shot when photographing Honey in the sink. Obviously I hadn't adjusted my white balance and other settings yet, but her expression in this shot was so much better than the later images, making this moment perfectly imperfect!

Honey loves sink baths. She's not into the tub as much as it's usually a combined dunk with the boys and the splashing and noise factor are enough to put a tiny naked baby into a state of panic. Who can blame her, really.

But the sink baths, they're special times. Yet another mother/daughter kitchen activity that makes me think of mothers and daughters participating in the same practice back in the 50's, when house dresses and aprons were a standard. Something so timeless, vintage. Perfect.

DIY-Refashion: Project Hippy Chic Headband (and seeking advice)

Take an old knit shirt with little purpose left in it:
And turn it into a hippy chic braided headband.
Don't be scared, you don't even need a sewing machine!
-Measure you or your baby's head.
-Cut three 3/4 inch strips in that length plus ONE INCH (it will stretch a bit when it's braided)--Lulu's head is 16/5 inches, which took up to the armpit of that shirt.
-Tie ends in a knot.
-Braid tightly.
-Tie the end in a knot, use as much space for braiding as possible.
-Hand sew or sew with a machine the ends together (before the knot)
-Cut the two knots
-Voila, you have the hippy chic band.
If you chose to add cuteness, just cut a bunch of circles, sew on buttons, or for some real hippy chicness, add some fun feathers!
-Find other purposes to reconstruct the remains.
For example, the sleeves of the above shirt will soon be matching leg warmers for the Lulu and I'm about to make myself a matching band as well!
On an ENTIRE different level...I'm in desperate need for some recommendations for BPA-Free sippy cups. Honey doesn't take well to the Born Free sippy we have and we don't have room in the budget to try different types...any recommendations out there? She is currently drinking her water out of a Born Free bottle as I have yet to be able to solve this problem.

Thank you kindly!
