You guys are as genuine as they come and it comes across so clearly in your posts. I’d love some more personal posts… little travels, motherhood tales, etc. I also love the kiddo fashion posts and kiddo room tours. Maybe you could reach out to a handful of other bloggers whose style you dig and feature them. You could do the same for a home tour series… I always love me some mid-century inspiration and I love looking into other people’s spaces. I know you are both busy and have your day jobs, so maybe a little break from it all is just what you need. I’ll bet a new design would leave you inspired too. Would sure be sad to see you guys go… Wishing you both the best for 2014 xo

Even though I may not comment on many posts, I stop by Modern Kiddo daily to see what creative/funny/cool posts you have for us to read. I agree with the others, I enjoy when you give us little glimpses into your personal lives. Like when Dottie shared about her adventure with picking up the vintage couch and we all learned she has the coolest car ever! And Dottie, I can always relate to your posts about the Peach since I have a daughter of similar age. I look forward to the Friday links and other posts where you share a retro brand or item. I hope this break allows you to focus your energy on your family and reflecting in the future, but I also hope you gals come back soon. Miss you! Hugs!

Gals–totally understand your break. But, I miss you already! I do love this site as a meeting of minds–of all the cool folks who love kids vintage and other neat stuff. I loved the addition of Bird and Cleaver. Love your Friday links. I so often find myself being reminded of a lovely childhood memory. Please don’t stop! I still laugh over that Sears Wish book post–one of my all time faves.
Can’t wait to see what you cook up.

I love this blog and I hope you don’t decide to wrap it up but what I would like to see more of is more about you and Dottie and your personal vintage finds/house tours/weekly kiddo etc, thoughts about “modern” vintage, classic designs and less archive photos which although sweet, I find less charming just because they are a little bit generic. You girls are such sweeties and I would miss reading this blog!

I just wanted to take a second to tell you how much I love and enjoy Modern Kiddo. Your blog is one of my favorites and I never miss reading a news feed on my phone app. Even though I don’t get a chance to comment as much as I would like, I LOVE all of your posts. Thanks for all of the time you have spent sharing so many fabulous things with us. I would be more than happy to do a survey for you because I love so much about Modern Kiddo. Dottie, sorry again about your father. My heart has gone out to you ever since you shared about his passing. I am sure that he is looking down on you every day so proud of the beautiful person that you are.
