It’s a SIX & KICKS DIY ninja birthday party for Little Mama this year! Where did the last 6 years go? Didn’t we throw her a Toy Story Jessie Party for her 5th birthday just the other day? I literally blinked, and out of nowhere, a 6 year old appeared! A cake-loving, wish-making, excited little 6 year […]
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.

She has about a gazillion […]
Pink it Forward – Quirkie Ways to Wear #Pink :: Antibullying
If there are two things that perfectly describe my kiddo, it is that she is just a little bit quirky (okay… a lot quirky), and in her wonderful little world – pink, truly is the new black. So when we discovered Quirkie Kids, we were thrilled to have found a line that fit my little […]
From Princess to Paleontologist :: Microfashion for Pretend Play Up and Away Jackets
This may come as a shock to you, but I am secretly thrilled that my 4 year old Little Mama has the uncanny ability to spend a limited amount of time playing princesses, while spending an abundant remainder of the time rolling around in the dirt playing with toy trucks.

A Teddy Bear On the Loose #Shedressedherself #WordlessWednesday #Linky
A Teddy Bear (who happened to dress herself today – not bad…) is on the loose. Be on the lookout. She has been seen jumping around town… Skipping and singing repeated verses of Frozen songs… Most likely due to the fact that she is still freezing her furry buns off. She is known to be in […]
Jill and Jack Go to the Market
Meet Jill (aka, LD)… Jill is the girl who knows that she can solve tough real world problems, who can hang with the boys, who doesn’t necessarily limit herself to fitted girly tees and cap sleeves. She’s on a mission against bullying, completely supports the move towards eliminating harmful gender stereotypes, and celebrates her own […]

The Lowly Ballerina #WordlessWednesday
Much to LD‘s chagrin, it is still not warm enough to run outside in her tutu without a jacket. The lowly ballerina, who is still just getting over a fever, spends this beautiful yet incredibly chilly Spring morning behind closed doors (according to LD, however… she’s actually behind bars). Accessories:: Floral Fascinator headband | Top:: Jacques Moret Short […]
