Yes! I have a pumpkin onesie that I live for. The year my son went as a turtle, I wore a blue onesie and wore a name tag that said "The Ocean". If I can turn our costume into a onesie for me, I will do it without hesitation.

Have you read The Good Mother Myth by Nancy Reddy? She digs into this a bit, but also how pretty much all of the major parenting advice over the last 100 or so years is based on the work of men with an axe to grind (and oftentimes with their own mothers).

I love a good built in! Sounds like a fun project.

I really wish I had updated that photo before I hit publish but I selected it late at night and after a cocktail. 😅

What's funny (sad funny, not haha funny) is that I just wrote about why I decided to keep my married last name. And now, here we are.

Although to be fair, my mom was a single mom when I was born so I could go back to her maiden name which was pretty bad ass!
