Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth

Posted by Chelsea on January 27, 2009

This past holiday season marked the 25th anniversary of the Cabbage Patch Kid, which made me feel both giddy with excitement and old. When selecting holiday gifts for the two daughters of Lee and Eric, some of our closest friends, I knew exactly what I was getting them:

Fans of the Cabbage Patch dolls will be pleased to know they still come with the weirdest names on the planet. These two were Olivana Elaine and Roxann Candis. Swear.

As I stood there at Target holding the dolls, I got sad. Partially because I kinda wanted one too, but mostly because I was bummed that I don’t have a daughter to buy one for. I looked across the aisle at all of the monster trucks and Lightening McQueens and cursed them. Almost instantly, however, I snapped myself out of it. Poor, unfortunate me: I’ve got two fabulously amazing, absolutely adorable little boys.

Just as I was leaving with Olivana and Roxann, a curly-haired brunette Cabbage Patch Kid glanced at me from across the aisle. I scooped her up and added her to my cart, dammit. Meet my new doll/daughter, Renee Fiona:

She has my hair and my husband’s eyes.

My Current Obsessions

The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.
