^[1]So if it does snow tomorrow and you’re in St. John’s, you’re more than welcome to drop by my place and watch my awe at snow turn to abject panic because I’ve never, ever lived in snow before, and despite my going to New Seasons and buying every single canned good I could find plus a gas lantern from Fred Meyers, I’m fairly certain I’ll need to gnaw my own arm off if the power goes out for more than ten minutes.

Or you can swing by LilyToad ^[2] on N Lombard where you’ll find all the things the budget green baby needs. They have recycled baby clothes, maternity clothes and the most delightful wooden toys handmade here in North Portland.

Plus a little playroom and a sweet nursing chair.

And they’re open later for the holidays.

St. John’s — why would you ever leave?
