My Tiny Royal. As I sit here at 4:30 am witnessing the event of the year – Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle, now Duchess of Sussex, listening to the beautiful gospel choir singing an insane rendition of “Stand By Me”, I am in complete awe. My Tiny Royal is happily asleep in her loft bed […]

Gender Reveal Tea Party :: A Story of Hope
Gender Reveal Tea Party :: A Story of Hope after Recurrent Loss We have a little secret to share… My daughter is obsessed with tea parties. So much so, that for the last handful of years I have been known to host at-home tea parties multiple times a week, with Smallie as my guest of honor. So when […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: DECOR
Little Mama‘s DIY Jessie Toy Story Party was ready to go after a few weeks of preparation (see our Toy Story party prep post here). We were so excited, and a little… overwhelmed. Little Mama noticed she was matching from head to toe with her decor but didn’t quite know how to process all of […]
Little Lady in Red :: Christmas at the Castle
Weeee! Apparently this Little Lady in red has a pretty exciting event to attend this Christmas holiday! It’s that time of year where we go to Big Daddy‘s “castle” for his company’s annual Family Christmas party. That means, crafts, balloons, and a big, jolly guy in red (much like our little lady in red) bearing gifts […]
Tiny Rudolph Deliveries :: Ideas for Christmas Treats
Tiny Rudolph does it again. I try to teach our Tiny Rudolph that outreach and extending gratitude is the best act of kindness that anyone can give. Simple acknowledgement and telling a person that they’re awesome – is enough to spread the good feels all around. And we wanted a piece of all this good […]
Alivia Simone Floral Jacquard Dress :: Time for a Princess Tea Party
This Thanksgiving and post-Thanksgiving weekend, I am embracing every moment with my little princess. Today – we decided that shopping was no longer top priority (I know – GASP, right?), and instead, I decided to let Little Mama take the lead on our activities. Naturally, it was all about playing dress up. It’s what we do […]
Looking Back at LD’s First Birthday – A Tiny St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun
Now that little mama is only days away from celebrating her 4th birthday, I am feeling especially nostalgic.

As I plan her big bash celebrating 4 amazing years – at the […]

A Fancy Date with Daddy – Father’s Day Weekend
This past Father’s Day weekend, LD proudly escorted her handsome date – Big Daddy, as he tearfully watched his baby cousin exchange vows. Mommy was occupied singing love songs (yes, when I’m not too busy working with kids and their threads, I sing on the side. Random, right?) to join in on the fashion fun. […]
Black and White and Dots all Over – Looks for Mommy and Me #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Don’t you just love it when you think you found the perfect coordinating outfit for both you and your mini-you? and then – this happens… Ugh. Feeling a little… behind… in the forward-planning arena. But as the wise LD always says (in not so may words) “Chill out mama. There’s always next year.” ~~ Outfit ~~ […]
Love is in the Flair!
Ahhhh – Valentine’s Day. Time to break out the reds and the haute pinks! And lest we forget the endless replay of sappy tunes (Jim Brickman, anyone? No judgement… I personally love him). This year – LD was most concerned about keeping in the spirit of love without sacrificing her own personal style. She’s not […]
