Dress Your Baby in Sage and Taupe

A witty send-up of modern parenting-reassuring, self-aware, and very funny.

When Hayley DeRoche coined the term "sad beige parenting," she gave a name to a perfectly curated aesthetic already familiar to new parents-a world of taupe muslin swaddles and wooden toys in shades of oatmeal and sand. So whether you're a new mama standing in the paint aisle trying to decide between cinnamon, mushroom, and khaki for your new baby's walls, or a seasoned toddler parent debating whether to send your little dumpling to the Cardamom Nature Preschool (waitlist time: only 13 years!) or the Cow Paths at Thistledown (tuition: whatever you're thinking, triple it!), this handbook will guide you every step of the way with quizzes, poetry, and a little sprinkling of existential screaming into the Abyss (in a fun way!).
