We did it. We survived first week of Kindergarten. Sorry. I guess I should be saying, SHE survived it. Yes, with flying colors. No, not without a hitch (or eight). We had a couple (dozen) random meltdowns, one-sided conversations (and yes, I’m talking about my side…), and an overall change of pace throughout this week. For the most […]
Back to School For Mom :: Vol. 41 #5Faves
Today, is the 2nd full day of Little Mama being in kindergarten. For the last month of mind-boggling preparation for first day of school, I have simply forgotten what it means to be back to school for mom. Moreover, I have been so distracted by the anxiety and worry about Little Mama being away from me for more […]
First Day of Kindergarten for Little Mama
It’s the first day of kindergarten for Little Mama. And she is nothing short of thrilled. But me on the other hand… I’m just… sad. Why? Because for the last 5 consecutive years, this has been my life… And now, I can barely lift her in my arms. She’s far too busy reaching her own heights. It’s first […]
5 Reasons Why We Visit Cousins Every Summer :: Vol. 34 #5Faves
I feel for my Little Mama. Sure, she’s happy, content with life overall, free of any cares in the world. But there’s something in her life that is missing – something I always had surrounding me during my entire childhood, something I wish so desperately she had in her everyday life. Cousins. She has about a gazillion […]
5 Reasons Why My Daughter Loves New York City :: Vol. 33 #5Faves
As a mini fashionista and travelista in her own right, Little Mama can’t help but have a deep love and fascination of The Big Apple. At least once every second season of dragging my little one to fashion shows in the east coast, someone always asks me why my daughter loves New York City so much. […]
5 Ideas for Long Weekend Family Fun :: Vol. 30 #5Faves
With Canada Day and the 4th of July around the corner (yes, we celebrate both), our family is always on the hunt for long weekend family fun. Don’t get me wrong – we enjoy our share of lazy Sundays at home, but sometimes it does the soul (and the body) some good when we get out and […]
5 Last Minute Big Daddy Gifts for Father’s Day :: Vol. 28 #5Faves
I am slightly panicking that we haven’t started talking about Big Daddy Gifts for Father’s Day until, well… now. EEEK!!! Honestly though, I’m not as worried as I have been in the past. We still have 5 more sleeps, tubs upon tubs of paint, our crazy ideas, and a whole lotta love to get our act […]
petitePARADE – Kids Fashion Week, NYC 10th Edition :: Our Fave Looks
Every year, March hosts a busy itinerary for the babyStylista crew. From the boss turning a year older (how is she already 5?? More on that for a later post), to daylight saving time making a grand (and unwelcomed) entrance, to petitePARADE putting together yet another memorable kids fashion week event that outdoes its last. A platform […]
Lordy Lordy, Look Who’s 40? Celebrating a Milestone Birthday Across the Miles with Candle Light
As of two days ago – Big Daddy is now officially living up to his name. If 40 isn’t big – I don’t know what is. I don’t mean, big as in old, I mean big as in… big deal! When you reach a milestone birthday – one can’t help but think… “I made it! I […]
Little Mama Gives Back :: Teaching The Gift of Giving at Christmas (With Elf Feet)
We have been pretty on top of things this year – and when I say ‘on top of things‘, I mean, we actually DID things this Christmas. Crafts, Holiday family activities (we finally got to ride that horse and buggy!), fun, lame, warm, cold – whatevs! We did it. That’s light years ahead of what we […]
From Princess to Air Force Pilot :: Microfashion for Pretend Play Up and Away Jackets
Ever since Little Mama turned 3 years old, she has been more inclined to playing pretend rather than experiencing reality – which is quintessentially a snore fest for her. She would pretend to be a world renowned cook, an organic grocer, a funky princess (naturally), an embittered mermaid, a busy mommy, an exhausted daddy – she pretended […]
Little Mama Got a Haircut :: The Timeless Angled Bob #wordlesswednesday #linky
Now that Halloween is over, and daylight savings is in full effect, we figured we would enter the new season with a whole new look. The angled bob. With bangs. This isn’t a new concept for us, as we have been styling little mama’s du in an angled bob for as long as she has […]
Totes! The Fall Essential, Must-Have Accessory for Little Girls – Marie Chantal #Review #Giveaway
The sun is taking a little bit of a detour on our side of the world today, so we decided it was time to [finally] break out the fall layers. Denim is always a favorite on the more chilly early fall days – as infrequently as they come. It’s light enough to keep cool and thick enough to […]
Beach Bum #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Island living certainly has its perks. But when island fever rears its ugly head, we fix it by simply spending more time in and around the water. Our aim is to go to the beach at least 3 times a week until the fall season hits. Summer is still far from over, so until then – Happy Summer! Accessories :: Joe […]
My Little Superhero – Creative Capes #Review #Giveaway USA/CAN
With back to school fever in full effect, it’s time to think about giving my little preschooler the big talk. I have always been concerned about her level of confidence especially in a group setting among peers. I have a year to go before worrying about Kindergarten, however, confidence is key at any point in life, […]
Earning Our Stripes – The Travelista Ponders on Grief #WordlessWednesday #Linky
Today, marks 2 years since I met my son William (Billy), moments before he died in my arms. I think of him often, along with my four other babies who I lost only weeks before their due dates. Sadly, as expected… I am not the only one yearning for what could have been. I have learned to move […]
