better than a bear hug
One of our catching fireflies fans, Diane Wurdock, heard about our Humane Society Fundraiser and thought we’d appreciate this funny forwarded email.  I laughed out loud and couldn’t resist sharing it with all of you. Doggy Manual on How to Hug a Baby 1. First, spy a baby. 2. Second, be sure that the object you spied was indeed a baby by employing classic sniffing techniques. If you smell baby powder and the wonderful .

Who knew snorkeling could be so fashionable? This very silly photo was forwarded to me from a friend (knowing that a shoe lover like me would really appreciate it).  I laughed out loud and had to share it with you. I searched on-line trying to find a web store that carries these fashionable flippers, but no luck… so no diva diving for you quite yet. catching fireflies may be a gift shop, but I .

Since we’re promoting catching fireflies’ participation in the Humane Society’s Mega March this month, I thought it’d be fun share these very humorous YouTube videos with you. … one for the kitty lovers … and one thug pug (who like to rub his butt on the rug)

my shoe addiction continues
Being that my birthday is in the month of July is as good enough excuse as any to indulge in a few summer additions to my current shoe line-up.  Starting with a great deal I found at Sole Sisters in downtown Rochester. The lovely Sarah made by Morenatom (one of my favorite shoe designers which I sadly heard is no longer in business… just another reason to buy my last pair) I found these .

one of every color please
I purchased these sweet salmon colored shoes over 4 years ago in NYC and I still get compliments every time I wear them. Here’s why I love them… the colors are delicious, the thin ‘slide-in’ buckle strap makes my ankles look slim, you can dress them up or down AND they are super comfortable. (I can easily wear them around the store all day) This summer when I head back to NYC I think .

stop by skirt spot this summer
It’s June… and for me that means I get to start wearing fun and flirty skirts almost everyday.  They’ve become one of my favorite summer accessories for many reasons: 1. You can get away with wearing brighter colors and louder prints. 2. They’re very comfortable and far more attractive than shorts. 3. Throw on a simple tee and flip-flops and you’re set to go.  Add a cute cardigan or jean jacket and you’re good .

I’ve recently taken up a new hobby – Swap-Bot (think of it as random pen pals, but instead of letters, you exchange goodies of your choosing!) My first swap I signed up for was to select $10 worth of your favorite chewing gum.  My package of sweets came all the way from Australia from a very stylish and generous swapper.  She included many other Australian sweets in addition to gum… yummy! – I’m chewing .

We’re just a few moms that track down cool stuff so you can stay busy being fabulous. We know cool stuff doesn’t make the mom, but it certainly helps make life a little better.
