A recent purchase

Our rental house is getting pretty cold now that the temperature is dropping. I'm not sure the house is well insulated at all. The floors, especially, are quite cold, so we needed to get some slippers for R.

She currently owns the cutest pair of bunny slippers ever, given to her when she was still a newborn by my friend D's grandmother, and, even though they say 0-6 months, they still fit on her feet. A little tight, but they fit! Unfortunately, they don't have any traction, and she slips (ha-ha, slips, get it?) all over the place when she wears them.

We just ordered a pair of these, in size 3/4, in pink, of course, and then a pair in 5/6 in the light blue, just because I wasn't sure how long the 3/4s would still fit, but was pretty sure the 5/6s would be too big. I hope she likes them.

She probably will. She likes just about anything that goes on her feet.

  1. maybe purchase some cheap throw rugs to throw around.

  2. that's a good idea, actually, and i kind of want to get a bigger throw rug for our kitchen floor maybe, but we do have big area rugs in the main rooms. the thing is that you really do feel drafts on the floor so it's still important to have warm foot coverage!

  3. did you get a chance to ask the landlord about heat in the kitchen?

  4. yeah, we did--and someone came today to look at it. turns out there's actually no heat source in the kitchen. there used to be a radiator where the dishwasher was--the pipes are still in the basement-- but someone cut it out, i guess when they renovated the kitchen. the best they can do is give us an electric radiator that we can plug in as a heat source in there. i don't think we want it though because it'd be a hazard with R walking around in there. we're just going to see how cold it gets once the temperatures really drop, and if it's really bad they can maybe put it by the back door and have a new outlet put in to plug it in there, and then have a baby gate blocking the radiator off. But we'll see how cold it gets first.
