• 7 Days of Summerwear: Crocs

  After thinking long and hard about what to write about for "7 Days of Summerwear," I kept coming back to one thing: Crocs. Sure, it's obvious. Sure, lots of people love them and lots of people hate them. And sure, they're everywhere. But the thing about Crocs is, they're good with socks or without, easy for a toddler to put on themselves, and are fairly durable. From my perspective, all that equals perfect summerwear.

• Design with David Netto: Surf's Up!

  I go to most new animated movies with a certain amount of suspicion, and those of you who read my columns will notice I tend to write about old movies for kids and favor Disney in the 50's, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and that kind of thing over most flimsy contemporary fare. Of course I get overruled by my daughter Kate and we do go see most everything. And like everybody else I did love Ratatouille, but that was one in a million. So I went to see Surf's Up with the feeling I was doing Kate a favor. . . Read More...

• Crocs: They Might be Ugly, but They Sure are Cute

  Crocs are SERIOUSLY some of the ugliest shoes ever invented. I wonder if that's why my kids adore them so? With the new Pirates movie, my kids are all pirates, all the time.  Crocs are slip resistant, anti-microbial and lightweight - all things I look for in kids shoes.  These pirate Crocs ($34.99) would make them so happy. The fact that they are great for the beach, the pool and just for kicking around would make me so happy.  Hmm, I think I can smell a compromise coming my way.  Posted Jun 06 2007, 05:33 PM by Carmen with | with no comments Filed under: Pirates, Disney, water shoes, Crocs
