Spring Cleaning

Spring is here and I'm trying to dig my way out of the clutter that's accumulated. We've only been here for 6 months, but yet I'm still surrounded by things I don't need. Time for a little Spring Cleaning...even though Chris does way more of the cleaning around here. I'm talking about my closet. When I'm done, I'm going to donate everything to SF's amazing organization, the Homeless Prenatal Program! Being pregnant is hard enough... can you imagine being homeless?!! Here is their wishlist! Once the baby is a bit older, I'd love to start doing some volunteer work... this one tops my list! 

Sale at Cotton Sheep

My favorite kid clothiers is having a pretty cool sale. Cotton Sheep, in San Francisco (Hayes Valley), carries this ridiculously awesome Japanese brand called FITH. The clothes are wildly expensive ($100 for a pair of kid pants... seriously off the charts here). Someone tipped me off that they're having a "value pack" sale. They have 7-8 pieces packaged up (sorted by size and gender) and the whole pack is $100. I got a great pack for my boy. 2 pairs of pants, a zippy, 2 tshirts, a button down shirt, a hat, and a pair of socks!! I was hoping to find something for him to wear to the wedding, but no such luck. Everything is too big, and it'll probably be awhile until anything fits. 

I wish they had an online retailer, but I haven't been able to find one. It's hard to find any info at all on this company. I found a tiny bit of info, but it appears to be in Japanese!

The photo of their window display doesn't do the shop or the clothes justice, but it's all I could sneak since they don't allow photos to be taken inside. 

 

Spring

We don't have much of a garden here in SF, but there are a few blooms to be seen. After our walk through Glen Park Canyon, I decided to bring a few of those blooms inside for us to enjoy. The pretty flowers almost make up for the hour we lost to Daylight Saving Time (note: it's not Savings). Here are a few photos.
