Faced with a closet full of cute Gymboree school dresses, Shaye has decided she wants to wear an Ariel T-shirt and shorts tomorrow. In honor of The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's beginning being released. Remind me how the fact that I raised them to be strong, sassy individuals makes this OK. Even though the sappy mom part of me wants a "better" First day of first grade picture .

unpink?
I coined the term "the unpink ladies" shortly after my third daughter was born and always assumed to be a boy, simply because we didn't dress her- or any of the girls- in pink. Now, years(and another girl!) later, unpink is less about a wardrobe choice- in fact, all four often wear pink- and more about a way of life.
Strong, sassy, creative and fun- unpink.
This is our life...

the mom,

- my {new} motto?
live in the moment & make it so beautiful that is worth remembering
my life is pretty amazing. I'm a tattooed, suburban SAHM of four girls, ages 15-5, and last June, my husband bought us the perfect home to finish raising them in.
Also in the past year, for the first time in fifteen years, all of my children went to school full time.
My home, yard - days! - were all pretty much a blank slate and I've been enjoying filling them...
one thing, one moment at a time.
and, sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. this May i will have the honor of caring for sweet baby J when his momma goes back to work.
another quote i'm loving?
life is a verb. live it!

I know exactly what you mean! I'm sure she will look adorable, regardless of what she is wearing. One day you will look back with fond memories because she made the choice.
Why can't we keep them 2 or 3 for the rest of their lives, when we can dress them, and they don't care?
Oh man! I totally feel your pain! I sat down with my daughter and we picked out 5 outfits for the first 5 days of school. I only layed out those outfits that I deemed cute enough for her first day of kindergarten. It worked pretty well and I'm satisfied with her decision.
Hang in there! I'm sure, in the long run, whatever she wears will seem dorky when she's our age looking back on her first day of school picture so it probably doesn't matter much!
I know what you mean! I don't know why I even spend the money on the cute stuff anymore- my daughter only wants to wear it when she's playing outside in the dirt. Then for nice occassions, she's all about the shorts and cartoon t-shirts.
I love it! My little boy would probably choose to wear a Star Wars tee but I made him wear a nerdy Polo. I am sure once he hits first grade he will be the same.
That will soooooo happen to me!!!
