I love to read…and, I love reading to my kids…now especially, I love listening to my daughter read. It’s pure magic. Not to mention how amazing it is to get taken into the land of make believe with every story told- I really believe it’s where dreams first begin. The magic of possibility, don’t you agree? So when I was offered the opportunity for my kids to review advance copies of the AdoraPet Children’s Books, I couldn’t resist. The only…
I’ve been a fan of Frecklebox since my daughter was sent her very own personalized book just over 2 years ago. We still love that book and I know that Brooklyn just loves seeing her name in print (especially since she started reading a year and a half ago). When I received an e-mail telling me about their new *Not Yet* Personalized Book, I had to post about it. It immediately made me think of a friend who is due…
My kids are just like their mama….they LOVE stationary. Often one or both of them can be found drawing little pictures or writing notes to each other, their friends, or, my favorite…ME! 🙂 When the opportunity came up to review stationary from Smilegram Paper I knew this was something they would LOVE! So I set to work trying to pick the design they would both like…The Fun Jumpin’ Froggies did the trick! Not only do they love the paper…
While packing for our holiday to the Mayan Riviera (where we stayed at the Barcelo Maya Beach Resort), I saw my adorable flip flop Bra Barrette and knew I couldn’t leave it behind, particularly because I had just purchased two t-back tank tops for the trip. It did not disappoint and I was thrilled with how it fit, how comfortable it was, AND of course that it hid my bra straps so perfectly. I don’t personally love the look of…
Remember the adorable skirt I bought Brooklyn from Olive Juice Kids? If you do, you’ll probably also remember the nice big ketchup and dirt stains after a long day of playing. I think the quality of a piece of clothing can be best determined not only by how it fits, but also how it washes. So I was certainly a little worried when I saw the beating this skirt took, particularly since I didn’t take it right away to soak…
I don’t drink. Ever. But the idea of cracking open a bottle of wine or champagne is so appealing to me. Often you will find a few bottles of non-alcoholic sparkling juice in our cupboards for parties, or just a quite night at home. I also have a girl’s night once a week (to watch Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice) where we like to indulge sometimes. One night, one of the girls brought a non-alcoholic champagne that her mother in…
This kind of weather makes me think of family time, spent hunkered in all cozy warm, while watching the blistery weather through the windows. I think of hours spent playing games, making (and eating) yummy meals and snacks, watching movies with popcorn, and, crafting and sewing. My sewing basket has a few batches of fabric ready to be made into something wonderful, and I can’t wait to get to it. First up on my list is the 3rd and last…
I love getting the kids matching/coordinating pyjamas for Halloween and Christmas…I haven’t done it for every one, but most of them. It just makes me happy…not to mention, the kids LOVE it. I typically order from Old Navy because I love the way their pyjamas fit and look….this year was no different. The great thing about Brooklyn being so little is she still fits into the *toddler* section of Old Navy. In fact, they didn’t have a 5T in the…
