I told him, "I don't know" but what I was ...
Mini Fashionistas: Kids Swimwear From Hanna Andersson
And so it has begun, we spent our long weekend at home with the kids running through the sprinkler on Sunday. I just love sitting on the back deck and watching them run, giggle and enjoy their youth. We recently got some new swimwear from Hanna Andersson so I asked them to "model" their new suits for my blog. These two sure know how to work it for a camera. Since I got my new Sigma lens I have ...

Mini Fashionistas: Playing in the Snow with Kamik
Disclosure: I was provided with boots for this post. All opinions are my own Winter just isn't winter without a good snowstorm or two. Having little kids that just want to build a snowman and don't fully grasp the understanding that I have no control over the snow it's tough to see how disappointed they are when flurries start and end in no accumulation. As a kid, my dad was a New York City ...

Holiday Family Pajamas from Sleepyheads #Giveaway
One of my favorite things for the holidays is picking out matching pajamas for my kids. They are young enough that they will still wear pajamas that match and actually think it's fun. This year I was offered the opportunity to check out Sleepyheads pajamas for the whole family and I jumped at it. Just as I thought, both kids were super excited when they saw that my husband, Rob, and I would be ...
Mini Fashionistas: Pediped Shoes and #Giveaway
My mother taught me from a young age to always be sure to buy well made shoes and sneakers. She always said "real leather helps your feet breathe" and "you don't want to cheap out on your feet!" When I took my son, Derek, shopping for his first pair of shoes I was sure to look for shoes with flexible soles, real leather and well made. I could hear my mother in my head saying how important it was ...
Mini Fashionistas: Nordstrom Girl’s Sale Picks
It's Nordstrom Clearance Sale!! Just in time for Back to School I picked a few of my absolute favorites for little girls. I love the idea of stocking up on sun dresses and having Hayley wear them during the winter with long-sleeved tees under them. Hayley is very anti jeans so I picked lots of tops that could be worn with her favorite.....plain leggings! Hooded Faux Fur Vest ...
Mini Fashionistas: Back to School with Under Armour #UANext
I kid you not when I tell you my 3 and 6 year olds are OBSESSED with Under Armour. First off, they refer to it as Suit of Armour and request to wear a Suit of Armour DAILY. Seriously, this is becoming a big issue because I can NOT keep up with laundry that quickly and will need to buy mass amounts of Under Armour soon! Derek and Hayley were each sent: 2 awesome ensembles from Under Armour, a ...
