Pretending it's Spring

Is anybody else fed up with this "Spring" so far? I know the calendar says it's here, but I think Mother Nature missed that memo! I'm so ready for warm weather, sunshine, and daffodils I can hardly stand it! So, until it warms up, I'm just dreaming of all the cuteness that's in store for Baby Girl! She has actually chosen most of her Spring clothes, and has made some great choices, I must say! She refused to take this adorable Mustard Pie confection off after we tried it on:

On Sunday, she wanted to wear it, but I told her it was just too cold, her solution was to wear it with these Joyfolie boots:

And a cute Crewcuts denim jacket!

I wish I had taken a pic of her because she was beyond adorable! My sweet little seems to have a good eye for fashion…I should probably be worried for when she's a teenager if she's like this at the old age of 3…Anyway, Happy Spring (sort of)!

Shoe-loving mini me

My baby girl is most definitely a shoe-lover just like her mama. She chooses most of the shoes we buy, and pretty much always chooses which shoes to wear on any given day; she's quite good at matching already! So, that being said, I have to share SAS's absolute favorite new shoes, her Mini-Melissa Ultra Cat Flats:

Naturally, she calls them her "kitty cat shoes" and she seriously loves them. I feel like they have all the perks of crocs, but are also adorable! And, on top of being super cute and water proof, she also says they are comfy! She has two pairs that we alternated and wore day and night for pretty much a full week at Disneyland, so they must feel pretty good. They come in a myriad of colors, and, just one other thing, they're scented. That's right, no sweaty foot smells here. Just cute little feet that look like kittens and like strawberries. Doesn't get any better!

They're available lots of places, but we got them from Zappo's Couture via Amazon, love the free shipping and free returns! Meow!

Autographs fit for a Princess...

I've taken quite a break from my blogging recently (ok, maybe not "recently"...unless 2 1/2 years is "recent"!), but I constantly think to myself "I wish I'd kept that up, this would be perfect!". So, that said, I'm going to take a stab at getting back to it! Im still a bit high maintenance (according to my family). I still have an absolutely adorable tot (who is becoming high maintenance) and we're still having fun and shopping and traveling, so still status quo from the last time I wrote.

Now, that being said, back to what I think is haute for my tot! And maybe your's, too!! We recently took A for her first trip to Disneyland...of course she was in Heaven! She met 11 princesses, 2 fairies and 1 queen (plus a plethora of other less-loved characters) and couldn't have had a better time. For all of her meet-n-greets, she carried this personalized autograph book with tons of character photos to be signed. Some of the characters seemed to love her book even more than she did!

And her mommy made it for her! Yep, I was pretty proud of myself ;) I spent what seemed like hours every night for a few weeks getting all the photos together and photoshopped and organized and placed just how I thought she'd like them. If you have some extra time and can figure out photoshop (that was the hardest part for me), give it a whirl and make your own autograph book for you next Disney trip. Or, if you're so inclined, feel free to have me make one for you! You can find more details from this link:

And there's a Hero's version coming soon!

I'll write a bit about our Disneyland trip soon, too!

For the Techie Baby...

It so hard to know what to get babies and toddlers for Christmas sometimes. With so many different people shopping for baby girl, we know she's bound have more clothes and toys that even the hautest baby actually needs, so last Christmas we got her an iPod! And now that she's a bit bigger, she loves it. She listens to the lullabies and looks at our family pictures as she goes down for a nap and now she's starting to even use a few of the baby apps out there. So what's the perfect accessory for baby's iPod? A Fisher Price Apptivity Case!

What a great to keep it protected and give baby something new to play with/chew on all in one!

Christmas Time is Here! (almost)

I love love love this time of year. I look for any excuse in the world for anything Christmas-y, so now that we have a sweet little baby (toddler) running around, I'm in search of sweet stuff for her. One of my fav websites is Chasing Fireflies and they have the sweetest Christmas PJ's and even personalized slippers to match! Look how cute!!

Baby girl loves running around in these little slippers almost as much as I love watching!

Dior-able

That title, "Diorable", I saw on a tiny little t-shirt long before my sweet girl came along. I've searched literally everywhere to find one for her, but it was literally years ago so I guess I'll just have to be content using it as a title (as often as possible!)
A friend sent me this link because it made her think of us, (LOVE that Dior makes anybody think of me :), and I just had to share it! How beautiful!

For anyone reading who may still be stuck for ideas for baby girl's first birthday, this would work just fine! Or if your shopping for your own sweet girl, this adorable set is available, and on sale, right now at Neiman Marcus!
