Shopping for the Father-Daughter Dance



How fun to be eight.

When you buy shoes based on their clicking sound...


(Yay for Child #4 and her personal fashion taste!)


And now for some linky love...

If you are in the mood for fun and laughs, hop over to Ello's blog where her ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS AND BRILLIANT daughter, Summer, who is almost ten years old, interviewed me. She did a great job! My children all read the interview!

And a huge shout-out and thank-you to Mary at Overnight at Thistletonthwaite Castle who posted a lovely lovely review of I So Don't Do Mysteries. She said it even cured her cold!

And another huge shout-out and thank-you to Charles Gramlich at Razored Zen who took a giant step outside his normal reading zone to read and review I So Don't Do Mysteries. Charles, it is much, much appreciated!

  1. I love the shoe photo and the sentiment. Savor it. My daughter, age 11, wants to buy make up and Cosmo Girls.

    Fun to have a glimpse of your town below. It looks so warm.

  2. I was just thinking I needed some new dress shoes. I can't wait to see the shoe salesman's face after he asks me what I'm looking for in a shoe -- 'clicking sounds, please.'

  17. I feel like I missed out! I never went to a father-daughter dance with my dad! Hope she has a lovely time (and him too, of course). :)

    I'm already thinking about a book for the BRC!

  18. How else but clicking noises (or lack thereof) would one select footwear? I'm confused ;-)

    I remember enjoying the sound of my mom's high-heels, and thinking that I would enjoy making that sound some day....

  22. I remember buying shoes based on how much they sounded like tap shoes, which my mother never let me have.
