Mia Bia, Daddy Baddy, Mommy Bammy, and Ellie Belly. Of course her little sister’s name was the funniest one to rhyme on, so Elliebelly stayed, and since it was too long for daily use, it transformed into Ellebelle. Yesterday, I even heard my husband using it. Hmmm…
This week I found a package from Amsterdam in the mailbox. Someone had sent me a shopping bag of a cute clothing store in Amsterdam, Ellebelle. Thank you for sending this! It makes me happy to know that Ellebelle is actually very fashionable in The Netherlands…
