The Hat Lady

I love knit hats for my kiddos, as you know from past reviews. Unique one of a kind items are my favorites, so when I found TheHatLady on Etsy it was a pretty exciting for me. They are magnificent in all weather; it does get chilly even on the summer and or to throw on a wet head not to catch a chill. What makes these special? Well, have you ever wanted a crocheted tiara for your little princess? TheHatLady makes them. All quality handmade hats, the yarn used is remarkable it’s beyond anything I’ve seen in a store and the handmade pledge means more to Caroline Brockner the creative genius then a lot of people I’ve met.



It was washed and held up wonderfully. I wash it all to make sure; when you have kids, you have to.



It held up to a fight between sisters and getting pulled off one's head. Yes, I just admitted my children are, well real kids and they fight and argue they aren’t perfect!



It fit my head, which was pretty cool because I love the hat. How can you not it has an old-fashioned flair with a modern twist. I love the modern and chic brown hat with flowers one hat that can fit so many personalities you honestly don’t get that in many places.



Caroline, TheHatLady will make it if you don’t see it or at least try, as she says, “chances are I can make it for you if you ask!”



It may be the end of winter for some of you, but don’t write of knit hats for all seasons. You can stock up for next year, too. Look at her site and see that she also makes a blanket here and there. Remember, just ask!

She also makes adult hats!

Eat, dress, and be carried.

Sourpuss Clothing is not your average clothing store. Why? They offer every thing you can think of and to a parent who doesn’t want to dress their kids in chain store clothing. What did I get to review? A feeding set, knit hat, socks and a diaper bag.


For the little girl who has a little sass and class, and wants to eat on her own the pink webbed skull feeding set is a pleasant step away from the norm. It was useful, the silverware wasn’t metal like other sets, and the plate and bowl didn’t fade after washings. The plate and bowl were serving size appropriate and didn’t break after dropped them several times to check, on my bamboo floors and no cracks even. The downfall is that these are not microwave safe, but then no item like this is - not even the ones that are in your kitchen now!


A knit Daddy hat adorable as it is, I have to say one thing loved it but... the poms on the top fell off right away. It happens and I know that nothing knit is guaranteed. It was just frustrating and my adorable little tester was so cute in it running around, it wasn’t fair. Otherwise, it withstood all tests of washing, drying, playing, and being a MITK product. Just be warned if you order it, the poms may be loose!


You have to keep those tootsies warm, so here are so mom socks! Wear and tear not like anything you’ve ever known until it comes to socks. Running, playing, shoes, even just walking you know what happens. These socks are 70% cotton, 20% nylon, and 10% spandex so the wear and tear is minimal is nonexistent. They are a tad slippery and do not have non-slip tread but not a lot of socks do these days.


My favorite item to test was the diaper bag! It’s so funky and cool and has a matching changing pad. LOVE IT! Lined with red satin, it stands out in a crowd making you the hip and funky parent and not falling by the wayside.
