NEW-AGE NURSERY RHYMES ARE MAJOR

Thanksgiving is over and Beach-Baby-Cate looked divine in her designer frock. Yes, we do dress for dinner (meaning we like to glam it up).  Oh, fashion...we love you!

Our new task is to determine the perfect couture for the rest of the holiday season, and it is a heavy burden. We do adore fashion in

Now, we are sitting in a random Monday, but it isn't dull because Cate, already has the best friends in the world.

Take today.

A rather large brown envelope arrived at our door with a small book from Neiman-Marcus tucked inside.

Well, books are always welcomed with open-arms in the Barker domicile, so this made us happy.

Actually, we were pleased for two reasons.

The first being that the book had been sent by a dear-dear friend in Texas, Martin Major. We lovingly call him, Big Daddy, even though he younger than Gaz and I. Much.

Big Daddy is much more than a friend, he is chosen family (hope you kids are fortunate to have a chosen family).

But, back to the book.

 

The title is, This Little Piggy Went To Prada, by Amy Allen, a graduate of Oxford and first time author and mother (should I have reversed the order of those?).

This book is quite clever and suits us, perfectly!

Why?

If you really need more explanation after reading the title, I sort of give up on you, but I will tell you why.

Amy has taken classic nursery rhymes and given them a clever re-boot and fashion spin.

Cate is already smitten and so are we.

Thank you, Big Daddy...we are also smitten with you!
