Raising an Independent toddler, child, or human for that matter, hasn’t always been part of my M.O as mom. Anyone who knows me well – heck, anyone who’s seen me with anyone’s child, let alone my own, knows that I completely define the meaning of helicopter parent. I am guilty of hovering, following, peeking, checking […]
You Do You :: Back to School Kid Crush USA
You do you. I found myself saying these very words on repeat today, as I brought Smallie to school for her first day of Grade 2. I don’t even really like that catch phrase to be honest. So cliche, but what’s a mom to advise her little girl who spent most of the summer saying she was pretty […]
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 […]
5 Funky Ways to Wear Funky-legs, Day 5 – “KID 4 KID” – CREATIVITY FOR A CAUSE #5DaysofFunky #GIVEAWAY WW
Last September, we co-hosted a wonderful contest that encouraged our little readers to dig deep into their creative selves, for a cause!

5 Funky Ways to Wear Funky-legs, Day 2 – CITY GIRL MEETS OCEAN GREEN #5daysofFunky
It’s Day Two of our 5 Days of Funky, and coincidentally, it’s St. Patrick’s Day. So this time around, we decided to forego the leprechaun-chic look similar to what we did (more like, what the poor little leprechaun succumbed to) 3 years ago, and go for something a little more… subtle. After all, we are officially […]
Cuter on a Scooter – Pop Kids #Giveaway USA/CANADA
Since our last play date with Pop Kids – we haven’t gotten enough of their whimsy-meets-uber-cool graphic tees. This time, however, LD decided to take a tiny break from Tomboy Chic and pay a little homage to her inner girlie girl. What better way than in a bright neon pink tank? Indeed, a scooter certainly makes […]
Baby In a Basket #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Why take a car, a stroller, or a wagon, when you can just jump in the back Grandpa’s Meridian Schwinn Trike? * Disclaimer: To all my fellow responsible parents reading this – Don’t worry, we didn’t actually let her go on a ride without a helmet. But this sure was one of those Kodak moments, […]
Cabin Fever #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Just as LD was getting ready to shake those winter blues, a sniffle kept her indoors. But we’re not too worried about her – she knows exactly how to keep herself entertained. Hello Springtime! Goodbye sniffles! ~~ Outfit ~~ Tan Herringbone Driver Cap ~ Born to Love Clothing Stripe Shawl ~ The Children’s Place Denim […]
Meet Mr. Beau Tie…
At the tender age of almost three, LD has a good amount of friends. But one that really leaves quite the impression with LD after every ‘play’ date – is this dapper little dude… Meet Mr. Beau Tie. Before I am at the receiving end of the inevitable and much anticipated… your-spelling-is-horrific attacks – please allow me to explain […]
