This is NOT fair!

How can you possibley have such darling shoes for little girls and not have big kid sizes? Buying for little girls is too much fun! And my Ashy would sure love a couple pair of these shoes, or at least I would love some for her! :) I'm so lovin' these shoes for little girls! The boy shoes are cute too, but nothing compares to fashion for a little princess. I'm just sayin'....
So, for those of you that have little tiny princesses, you just might like to venture over to the Foxpaws site!

I'm Lovin'

I'm lovin' the Welda Baby Shampoo & Body Wash. Don't get me wrong! I will always be a fan of the Johnson & Johnson baby lotion and the trademark baby smell that comes with it! I still use that too! However, I have experienced a great thing with this new Welda product. Baby-G had crazy cradle cap a couple of months ago. I mean crazy flakes! Almost immediately after trying the Welda Baby Shampoo & Body wash his cradle cap DISAPPEARED! I could totally do a commercial for them! Right now you can print up a coupon to purchase this fabulous product on their website.
This is what they have to say:
Taking organic baby care to the masses: Weleda. The dermatologist-tested and 100 percent certified natural line of baby products is now available at Target, Whole Foods Market, and select natural health food stores nationwide.

Using organic calendula (a nourishing botanical with healing anti-inflammatory properties) cultivated from the label’s very own biodynamic gardens, Weleda has created a full line of baby creams, diaper care, and bath and body washes aimed at gently caring for tiny bodies.

For a clean start, try the calendula shampoo and body wash. The gentle, tear-free wash retains the moisture in your baby’s hair and skin, leaving them feeling silky smooth and protected from drying out.
For Mommies: I am a fan of their yummy Skin Food!

Araminta Spookie Book Series

So, with Halloween coming around the corner, I think it would be fun to read a spooky but not scary book with my children! I haven't read this book yet, but I will start it with my children in October and we'll see how they like it. My Haunted House is the first book of a series of five. The books have received good reviews, so I'm excited to try them out. I'll let you know how they like them! If you have other fun Halloween books that are not too scary, I'd love to hear!

Baby Carriers

With my babies I have used both a sling and the Baby Bjorn. I have loved both for different reasons. However, just for fun, I would love to get a new baby carrier. These are two baby carriers that I think are darling!
The Kokopax

The BabyHawk

Wallpaper Silhouettes

Make any wall come to life with a modern twist and retro charm. These darling silhouettes are cut from vintage and reprinted wallpapers. Each animal is available in several different patterns per animal. Aren't they darling! ? They are found on the fun children's site : Romp.

G-Baby Update

How cute is this bib? It is such a great bib and my sister-in-law, Brooke, made it! Thanks Brooke! I love homemade gifts. I wish that I were more crafty and a better seamstress, but at least I can benefit from the talents of others!
So, G-baby is now 6 months and although he is not completely stable sitting on his own, he is really trying to crawl. He still wakes up about 3 times during the night.....he has never been the best sleeper and I'm really trying to change that! Sleep is too important! G-baby has the best smile that could brighten any day! He loves to cuddle and loves to get a lot of attention! He is so adorable and I'm so glad he has blessed our family.

More Favorite Toys

Sophie the Giraffe is G-Baby's favorite toy. I think it is the best teether that any of my children have had. It is so darling because it looks the same as it did when it was first "born" in France in 1961. Sophie is 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree and is still "traditionally" produced to this day. It is Phthalates and BPA free and facilitates a babies development.



J-Boy has many favorite toys. He basically likes to haul ALL his cars, trucks, airplanes and trains around to whatever room we are in. He loves to "pack-up" anything that can carry his toys and he is very talented at making messes. Besides the obvious transportation toys, he also loves his Busy Zoo Activity Center that Santa brought him for Christmas. Santa said he got it from Target.

The Princess Festival

Rain or shine, it is princess time! Miss A and I had a fabulous time at the Princess Festival with MJ and Miss MC. Miss A got the cutest updo. Then, they did crafts and helped save Snow White, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. The little Miss's even got new princess costumes, because one can never have too many! :)

Fun Summer Project Ideas

The kids are finally out of school. Our short summer is finally underway. I've been trying to plan some fun places to go and some fun projects to do. I came across these cute ideas from Martha Stewart.

Super Cool Kid Clothing

I came across this really fun clothing line for kids. I especially like the shirt selection for the boys. The company is Appaman and it has a unique Scandinavian perspective on Ameripop iconic imagery.

LOVE LIST

Francie Pants: Underwear for active dress-wearing girls

These are just a few prints that A-Girl loves. She has a list of many more that she wants!


Does your little girl love to do cart wheels, go to gymnastics and twirl away, all while wearing a dress? If so, you know the inevitable, panties for everyone to see. Here’s a modest solution that doesn't involve ruffled bloomers.
She won’t be ashamed to show off these skivvies. According to the manufacturer, “When girls wear Francie Pants they have the power to be proper without having to be prudes.” Really what they are high-style boy short undies. They come in great patterns for babies to school-aged girls and are $16.50 here.
