If you follow Bug and I on instagram you are probably very aware of Bug’s Cat Ears. She wears them every single day. In fact, she forgot them today (a first) and had to go to school without them. It was a tragedy. “How will my friends know it’s me?” she cried with tears streaming down her cheeks.

Silly kid. I almost drove home and got them for her but thankfully, I was able to convince her that the bow in her pony tail was sort of pointy and looked like cat ears if we tweaked it just so. The way she gets these obsessions drives me crazy and makes me love her more at the same time. She’s just so, Bug.

Since a lot people have asked me how I made Bug’s ears I finally put up a tutorial over on Alpha+Mom because they will be super handy for DIY Halloween costumes. It’s easier than you can imagine and as you have seen they hold up quite well. I think Bug even wore hers in the pool once and they are still going strong.

Also I have the world’s cutest neighbor:

Look at those eyes!
