I Am Now a Total Cliche

Because now, not only am I a
breastfeeding,
babywearing,
home-birthing,
co-sleeping,
farmer's-market-going,
resident of the Upper West Side...

I just bought a pair of Birkenstocks.*
*In my own defense, let me clarify that this purchase was hastened by the fact that I can no longer bend over to buckle my super-cute Steve Madden gladiator sandals. So there. Also, not having owned a pair of Birkenstocks since approximately 1994, I had forgotten how insanely comfortable they are. These are fresh out of the box and they feel like heaven for my feet.

    I have these too, but I think you will get kicked out of Colorado for not owning a pair.

  7. Love the shoes, i'm too scared to get some in case i never put on heels again! (this happened for a while after i got uggs)
    When you say you co-sleep, does this mean that kiddo sleeps in the bed with you? I only ask because my 5 year old sleeps in with us and the comments i get from just about everyone is horrible. I have started lying to people and saying she sleeps in her own room now. I always feel mean that we both work during the day then at bedtime we get to sleep together and L is sopposed to be in her own room in the dark by herself. I cant bear for her to be alone so i always let her in our bed. The way people react about this is beyong wierd.

  10. Personally, I just moved to New York City (living in Astoria and walking more than I ever have in my little life!) and I've been up and down on the great debate (re: Birks: Yay or Nay?) since June. Your post might have given me the final push!

    I adore your blog (as well as your snazzy Birks!)

    Cheers.

  11. You also have to try Fitflops. I just got a pair this summer and I never take them off.

    Hell we also co-sleep and my son is 8. We love it!
