What’s a Weekend? Plus, New Finds for Children.

By: Jen Shoop

On Monday of this week, mini’s teacher asked the class, via Zoom:

“Would anyone like to share what you did this weekend?”

Mini’s hand shot up and I smiled encouragingly. When she was called on, she arranged her face into a scowl and said:

“I didn’t have a weekend.”

We had a good laugh about that because — what is a weekend anymore?

And with that — a fresh crop of new children’s items I have been eyeing:

SWOONING OVER EVERYTHING FROM ITALIAN CHILDRENSWEAR LABEL IL PORTICCIOLO (SEEN ABOVE), BUT ESPECIALLY THIS ROMPER AND THESE EXQUISITE BODYSUITS

THIS DIAPER SET IS A MUCH MORE AFFORDABLE VERSION OF THE LITTLE ENGLISH CLASSIC

ORDERING A PAIR OF THESE FOR MINI’S SUMMER WARDROBE

ORDERED THIS FOR HILL’S SHORTALL COLLECTION

DRAWN TO ALL THINGS FRUIT-PRINT RIGHT NOW — THIS QUILT, THIS PRECIOUS BUBBLE, THIS DRESS

(…AND THESE EARRINGS FOR ME)

NEED ONE OF THESE NIGHTIES FOR MINI

MOST RECENT NIGHTWEAR ACQUISITION: THESE FOR MICRO, THESE FOR MINI

PRETTY (SOPHISTICATED!) FLORAL FOR A LITTLE ONE ($22!)

CUTEST LITTLE POOL SLIDES FOR A LUCKY LADY (FLORAL PRINT REMINDS ME OF THIS DRESS FOR SOME REASON)

SWEET SET FOR A LITTLE LASS ($15)

LOVE THE PRINT ON THIS BABY NEST

PRETTY BLOCKS

ORDERED MORE STICKER BOOKS FOR MINI — SHE LOVED THIS AND THIS, AND I JUST ORDERED THIS AND THIS

FOR SOME REASON, THE KYTE SLEEPSACKS HERE ARE LIKE $15 LESS THAN THEY ARE ELSEWHERE

P.S. The best toys.

P.P.S. Time is a thief.

P.P.P.S. Traditional childrenswear for under $31.

  1. Oh my gosh!! That is just too cute! I have been trying different routines to demarcate my weekends so they still feel like a break from work, but the line is definitely blurred. My goal this weekend is to finish a book that has taken me far too long to finish 😉

  2. What a funny anecdote! Mini is so on the money. I’ve found myself really leaning into relaxation on the weekends, as a way to demarcate the days when I don’t have to work. Lately, it’s felt like too much to try and get major home projects (aside from routine chores/cleaning) accomplished on the weekend. I need time to CHILL!
