And I was once seven, too.

Born and raised in the land of avocados and sunshine, I now live where the flannel meets the sea, with my love, our three kids, and our mutt, Old Man River. He is not seven, but he is a member.

I've spent too many years studying people, brains, and computers, and I've collected too many degrees. I have to do one million things at once, or I might get bored. I'm too tall, my hair is too long, and my legs are, too. When my husband and I first met, we wore matching glasses.

After the glasses came the twins, Ramona June and Mister Brooks (first name Sonny). Then came our little Daisy Flower. We love to spend long days swimming at The Secret Beach or lounging at The Fancy Hotel. Everyone here has bangs or glasses.

Most brands treat kids underwear as an afterthought. I started Rooney Blue because I want to be just as excited picking out my kids underwear as I am their shirts and dresses. So I made some. And I'm told the undershirts help a lot when those shirts and dresses are "too tickly."
