If you have something to say don't hesitate to holler!
I’m pretty sure I just had a bad mommy moment. I’m stressed out and overwhelmed. I’ve cut back so drastically to help my business that now I’ve taken on the work of at least three people and the feeling is daunting. Especially when you know you have to leave the office at 5:30 to come home and entertain/feed/put to bed your kid for 3 hours. I truly wish I could just keep working. My work resumes at 9/10ish when fritz is tucked in but by then I’ve had 2 glasses of wine to calm my nerves since I’ve been home and I’m spent. I hammer out a few blog posts then curl up to some Will & Grace and pass out. I’m feeling frustrated and on the verge of tears today. I know I need to buck up. I can do this but there are so many highs and lows that it’s just exhausting. At the moment I don’t have that liberty of escaping and just going out for a night on the town. I’m kinda in the routine from hell. Wake-up, drink coffee, work all day, come home, home routine, night routine, bed and all over again and again and again. It’s hardly varied over the past 2 weeks. Heeeelppppp meeeeee!
I digress. So, tonight I’m feeling particularly on edge and I just am ready for Fritz to go to bed. It’s about 8:15….a little earlier than normal. He’s putting up a fuss. Lately he falls asleep in our bed reading book (I know this is a bad habit…but it’s working) then I transfer him to his bed at about 10…and voila he sleeps though the night. No harm done, right? Anyway tonight I took it a step further and let him into our bed to fall asleep with Thomas playing on the TV. It felt so wrong but I just need a moment to cry, to figure stuff out, to deal. It was a means to an end. I felt though, that this was crossing into dangerous territory. I fall asleep to late night TV, a child shouldn’t. I feel guilty. Has anyone ever done this? Am I a bad Mommy? I know you guys like me but tell me the truth.
Did you have any idea that Where “The Wild Thing Are” is being made into a movie! And as if that wasn’t enough, Spike Jonze is directing! I love that story and I read it to Fritz all the time. This cannot fail. Check out images and more info on the production here.
Sweet William is a chic kids clothing boutique in Williamsburg Brookyn. The shop, and it’s offerings, have a very rustic organic appeal. You won’t find many primary or multi colored goods here but you will find loads of darling onesies, pj sets and earth tone clothing. After browsing I got the feeling that this was what kids in France wear. They have an amazing collection of life-like stuff animals from a company called Hansa. Fritz got the chicken as a gift for his 1st birthday from out friends who live in the neighborhood. On my recent trip to Sweet William I got yung Fritz a pair of classic yellow rain boots. Oh hai Spring! I’d say the prices are moderate-expensive. It’s a bit hard to justify buying a kid a $75 shirt these days (or any day) but I think Sweet William great place to pick up a gift for a baby shower or birthday. If you don’t live in Brooklyn they also have an online shop. Check out more images of Sweet William after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »
WTF! This is 8 year old Arlo Weiner, son of ‘Mad Men’ creator Matt Weiner. As you know I think style is muy important for the little tikes. But here is a prime example of taking it too far. I think young Arlo looks like he would be rather shopping at Fred Segal than playing Red Rover Red Rover, or uh, making a popsicle stick cabin or something. And I bet you anything he has the credit cards to prove it. Could little Arlo really like donning these get-ups? He says in this GQ Interview that he does indeed want to be a designer. Is he the next McQueen? But even McQueen wears jeans and sneakers down the runway at the end of his shows. Maybe he’s more of a Galliano. I don’t know it seem awfully pretentious for an friggin’ 8 year old to be gallivanting to 2nd grade in these ensembles? But is he let off the hook because his dad is Matt Weiner and he lives in La-La Land? I know I’m being super judgemental right now but come on! Look at the GQ gallery and tell me what you would say. Cute? Nope. Snobbery. Yup! I can only imagine how his parents gas up his head and what a little shit he must act like at school. It’s an outrage!
I’m really not feeling boys (meaning men) in heavy street wear anymore (did I ever?). The trickle down theory applies. It’s basically just run it’s course. But for little munchkins I think kiddie street wear is adorbs! You see all those bright crazy street wear looks, really look like their made for children, so when you see a 35 year old man rocking an all over print hoodie and neon dunks….ugh, not a good look. Anyway, I just stumbled upon this brand called Munster and I’m freakin’ out! It’s a bit pricey because it comes from Australia but if you got the loot just have little man wear it baggy for a few months. The brand makes boy’s kids and baby clothes. I love the humor and mini adult silhouettes. And what about the House of Holland and Jeremy Scott knock offs? Oh Hai Hipster Babe! Check out some of my favorite pieces after the jump.

My Intern Meg sent me this. Good looks girl! All you Hipster Moms will appreciate this! Check out all the Remixes here…50 killed it but I’m not mad at Snoop.
Welcome to my first interview on The Hipster Mom. I’ve decide to branch out and talk to other moms and mom’s to-be. I’m a natural over-sharer so I thought I’d pry into their lives a little bit and see what’s doin’. When i found out Missbehave reader and fellow blogger Alissa was pregnant I figured an interview was in order. Alissa was a particularly interesting to me because of her openly pro marijuana lifestyle. Most of us are probably pot smokers, or at least were at one time, but Alissa has taken to the next level by sharing her love of weed as one of the ‘girls gone weed’ models. If you’ve never seen Girls Gone Weed it’s basically like Suicide Girls minus the nudity, throw in tons of weed, every smoking device imaginable and nothing but girls puffing away in a glorious cloud of the sweet cheeba. So anyway, Alissa is about to be a mommy and well, I’ll let her tell you if she stopped smoking or not…. Read the rest of this entry »
Holy shit, I’m pregnant. Besides the shock of that in and of itself, what the hell am i going to wear for the next 6 months?! I’m getting bigger by the second and my wardrobe options are quickly dwindling. I went to a maternity shop yesterday and all i can say is EWWWWWWWW!!! those clothes are so foul! please hipster mom, give me some fashionable maternity wardrobe tips!!!!
Before I was a Mom I had an unhealthy addiction to reality shows about crackheads, murderers, convicts and crime in general. Some of my favorites we’re City Confidential, Cold Case Files, Locked Up (wherever) and of courseIntervention. I would snuggs down on the couch with a cold beer and indulge in others misfortune and horrific decision making abilities. When it came to Intervention the more grimy the addict the better. Nothing would make me cringe…needles, pipes and pills, oh my! A good crime documentary on a Saturday afternoon was delightful, almost like going to John Jay College of Criminal Justice, only a lot less work. Guess what, it all changed.
