Winter Sandals

Where can I find some cute, not terribly expensive, sandals for my daughters who are 3 and 5? We're going on vacation in a few weeks.

We have a friend who swars by Saltwater Sandals. She buys them for her girls and herself every summer! They come in a variety of styles, great fun colors, are really sturdy--and they're totally waterproof. And at around $40, the price is right.

Alyssa's living in her J.Crew Short Brewster Boots. They are SUPER comfortable, durable, and a perfect with jeans (though Hilary tried to convince her they were cute with a dress). Note: they run really big, so order a full size down!

From Camper, they're anatomic and ergonomic grey and fuschia felt slippers with a rubber sole. Pretty sexy too.

tip o’ the week: Super Easy Mac 'n Cheese

April 27, 2009 4:46 AM Filed Under: RECIPES TIP O' THE WEEK

Last year Hilary bought Alyssa's daughter a cookbook and Annabelle has spent the better part of the year perfecting the cookbook's macaroni and cheese recipe. Here's her version--the first one the children like that doesn't come out of a box and doesn't involve some sort of flourescent orange substance. The topping is our own special addition...but be forewarned: you won't be able to stop at one bite! [see more]
