A Series of Letters.

Dear Target,

Footy Pajamas are cute on babies. Footy Pajamas are creepy on adults.



Love,
Whitney

Dear Husby,

You look like a giant Ralphie from A Christmas Story. Please do not ever purchase and/or wear these pajamas. If you do, I may need to reevaluate my life. And you may need to reevaluate yours.



P.S. Those granny panties behind you are....well....there are no words. But I bet they're comfy.

Love,
Whitney

***

Dear Ree,

Your cookbook is absolutely amazing. And you are wonderful.



Congrats on the success! It is much coveted....er, I mean... deserved.

:)

Love,
Whitney

***

Dear Weebie,

Santa called and said since you have been so good this year, he is making you an honorary reindeer! Levi the Red Cheeked Reindeer.



Don't you recall, the most handsome reindeer of all....?

Love,
Mommy

***

Dear Bloggie Friends,

I like to let on to my friends, family and blogging community that Levi's crib always looks like this:



But in all actuality, right now it really looks like this:



Hey it's what the changes in a baby will do to ya! A breathable bumper pad for my flip flop sleeper and a ghetto mobile to keep him entertained. But his pretty bumper pads are just an arms reach away to slap back in when company comes. ;) No shame.

Love,
Whitney

***

Dear Miley,

I think it's really cool you partnered with Max Azria for your clothing line. But I think the look you were going for here should have been a little more cowgirl and a little less....paper shredder. But ya know, whatevs.



Love,
Whitney

***

Dear Levi,

Speaking of cowgirls....you should have been a cowboy.



And maybe I could have named you Wrangler instead of Levi. Just a thought.

Love,
Mommy

***

Dear God,

Thank You for the beautiful colors you paint across the sky for me. And thank you for my neighborhood that you paint them over.



Love,
Whitney

***

Dear Target (Again),

I love the vast array of cabbie hats and fedoras in your men's section. Husby really appreciates it, too. I just wish you had a similar wall of baby cabbie hats and fedoras so that I could put Levi in a new one every day. You should do it.



Think about it and get back with me. K? Thanks.

Love,
Whitney

***

Dear German Chocolate Cake,

I want to eat you in your entirety. In one sitting.



Love,
Whitney

(Recipe coming soon...)

***

Dear Weebie (Again),

Please stop growing.



Love,
Mommy

Pictures brought to you from my iPhone, so I'm sorry for the lame quality. :)

Fun Post. And I am thrilled that you are sharing your Momzies GC Cake Recipe. I seriously about fell over the last time I took a bite. I need to recreate it.

Patrice said...

Love this post! Too funny! I can't believe Target is selling footie pajamas either! Last weekend one of the bar's in my college town hosted a pj party & people actually wore those footie pajamas... to the bar!

one of nettie's girls said...

Why am I just now finding out that your mom has a GC Cake recipe? Hmmm. I want it. Footie pajamas for adults are very creepy. Granny panties are comfortable. Weebie is just about the most photogenic baby I have ever seen.

Shannon said...

Little Levi is so cute! And that cake ...would so be my breakfast this morning if it was nearby. No shame.

Mandy said...

This is such a cute idea for a post...I love it!

erinkern said...

Ha, love this post! Fun to read. And...I WILL be showing Russell the picture of your husband in front of numerous pairs of granny panties. Why, oh why, did he choose that spot to model his bunny jammies!??! Hilarious!!

emily said...

haha i love this, but what i love even more is GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE!!! haha i am salivating just looking at that picture!!!! my grandma makes the best...thanksgiving is coming up...i am sensing trouble!! i left you a little love on my blog as well! have a great week!

Jill said...

Totally agree with you on the footie pajamas! Levi is adorable - keep the pics coming!

MOMMY-MOMO said...

oh my gosh! i saw those jammies and sooo wanted to get them for my family as a joke. hilarious picture! someone HAS to do it!

SB said...

So if I buy footie pajamas for Chris, it's a bad idea? Guess it's back to the drawing board for Christmas gifts....

Rachel H. said...

Love this post...the GC cakes looks delicious! And I love that you shared Levi's nursery in it's real life form. This is what I'm sure most mother's do! :)

Happy Dash said...

I love the reindeer and cowboy hat picture :) Too cute!

Katie said...

"I would have named you Wrangler instead of Levi.."

LOL!!!!

Autumn Mist said...

I feel seriously deprived that we don't have those pj's in England (at least I have never seen them.) The underwear thing? We call those 'Bridget Jones's' and wouldn't wear them if you paid us. Levi is beautiful, what a blessing.

G. said...

so cute! I agree with the baby cabbie hats. My son wants one really bad and I've been searching for a boys one for him. He's a walking candy apple, too like me :) maybe he could wear a men's one. Your baby is getting so big...and adorable in those little reindeer antlers. :)

maureenlynn said...

mmmm german chocolate cake....

Queen Mama said...

Too funny. I agree with the Miley thing. ha.

Those footie pj's are SCARY!

Levi is toooo cute!

Jacky said...

Footie pj's? I actually have a friend who thinks these are cute and fun. I however, do not agree with her. Ew.

Levi is SO precious!! ;)

the shark said...

What's with the feetie jammies??? My kids LOVE them. Gross. Like wearing socks to bed. Anything un-sexier?

The Shabby Princess said...

Ha! I saw those jammies are Target too--and share your feelings on them :)

Abigail said...

Hahaha, when I was 20 my mom got me a pair of footsie pajamas. . .I thought they were the greatest things. . .I even wore them to my boyfriend's house. . . .ya. . . .it's one of those things you look back on and cringe. . .

LG missionary said...

Loved the footie jammies as a kid, but D would certainly not need to wear them!!!!! Loved the pics and your letters. You crack me up! And, the german chocolate cake (my fav) ... where is my huge piece??????

Carrie said...

Must. Have. RECIPE!!!! That looks delicious!

Also, I completely agree about the footie pajamas. Those are atrocious.

But Levi? Levi is the cutest little thing in the whole wide world. ;)

allison said...

very cute, and i agree with everything concerning target.

Sarah's Adventures said...

All right, here I am to bring some love for the footie PJs. They are so comfy and cozy. I own a pair with cute purple stars all over them. Are they juvenile? Of course. But sometimes I have those stressful days when I want to feel like a worry- free kid again, and on those days I wear my footie pajamas :) However, I will state that mine are two-piece - there's a shirt and then pants with footies. If that helps at all. lol.

Kelly @ Dare to be Domestic said...

What's even more creepy than say an adult in footie pjs... is an adult like GENE SIMMONS wearing them... it always wigs me out!

Melanie's Randomness said...

Those footy pajamas are too hilarious. hehe.

Pleasant Drive said...

Cute! And, I just had the same thought about those footie pjs. Ick! THey make me nauseous!

Emily C said...

I love your post, the pictures are too funny! I can't decide if I like the reindeer or cowboy look for Levi...and you're right, footie pajamas for adults are just not right!

Brittany said...

OMG! Levi is too cute in his antlers!! He is the cutest thing! It makes me want one of my own:)

Christina said...

So cute...the Wrangler vs. Levi...priceless!

Miss M! said...

I would die with happiness if Target took your suggestion about the hats. They need to go up to toddler sizes!!!

The Ross Family said...

That was a sweet post! I have very similar views as well :-)

Also, those breathable mesh bumpers are on my baby's crib too. They are great!

Caroline said...

footie Pajamas for adults!?!?!??! Oh dear.....

mrs shortcake said...

I love these "letters" - what a cute idea!

Sweet Simplicity said...

I love this post! I miss our daily talks. Wanna come back to work??

Lil' Woman said...

lol...loved all your letter and I am a bit shamed to admit that I am actually thinking about buying the fottie pajamas! :)

Jenny G said...

A Christmas Story is my stepdad's favorite movie, and I so wanted to buy him those bunny pj's and wrap them up as a gag gift for Christmas!

Sock monkeys are creepy. Especially on feetie-pajamas.

In this wonderful life... said...

LOVE all the letters! so cute!

hey, you can never go wrong with the handy iphone...yay for always taking pics!
