Regarding the name of my blog

You may ask, "What do shoes and ships and sealing wax have to do with anything?" I'll tell you: Absolutely nothing! It's a pretty random title, because this is a pretty random blog. I plan on writing about whatever I'm thinking about, whether it's my struggles as a parent, fun vacations I've taken, or even a particularly good slice of pizza I ate - when I was five. So if you find any general theme to my ramblings, know that I probably didn't put it there.
And, for all you fellow "Alice in Wonderland" fans, here's a part of the wonderfully random poem I borrowed the phrase from (The Walrus and the Carpenter, by Lewis Carroll):

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
