Toddler Cold Weather Style

November 14, 2017

The days on the November calendar are flying by quickly, before you know it we will be decking the halls.  It’s the time of year in Texas where it’s finally appropriate to start pulling out the winter coats and mittens.  Here are some of our Cold Weather Favorites this year!

1/2/3/4/5/6

The precious Hanna Anderson coat is perfect for a Texas winter. We love this sweet sweater and it comes in the prettiest white that matches all of our holiday outfits! Hallie wears the tights under all of her long sleeved dresses, and we love them! If you are looking to purchase from June and January for the first time, click here for 15% off your first purchase!

What are your kids wearing during these magical months?

Kitty Cat Toddler Style

October 18, 2017

With Halloween approaching I thought now would be the perfect time to share some adorable kitty finds! Also I have  a mini cat lady on my hands, so we may have snatched a few up already.  The girl can’t get enough of cats!

1/2/3/4/5/6

The Kitty pajamas are so soft and Hallie insists on adding the kitty tights under every dress! I need to pick up another pair! Also How cute is the little cat purse? I am totally swooning! What are your toddlers into right now?

Kid Style- Fall 2017

September 21, 2017

It still doesn’t feel like Fall here in Dallas, but the end of Summer is finally in sight! Today I am sharing some of the gems I got to complete Hallie’s Fall wardrobe.

1/2/3/4/5/6

Hallie was thrilled to find this little Wizard of Oz dress. Now we are on the hunt for a perfect pair of Ruby Slippers to match.

We snagged a couple June and January cardigans in the Fall release and can’t wait to wear this mint one in our Fall Family photos. If you want to grab one for your little one, be sure to use this link for 15% off of your first purchase.

I can’t wait to grab the tutu dress in a few more colors because they are on sale right now!

Then of course we finished off her wardrobe additions with some knee highs and sparkly tights and shoes.

What are your must have wardrobe staples for Fall?

Currently- September 2017

September 18, 2017

Hi Friends and Happy Monday! I sure hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.  We spent our weekend with family and even attended the Fall Festival at our Church.

Besides that, I thought I would give you a little sneak peek at what else we have been up to:

Reading:

Hallie and I just finished up Charlotte’s Web and are on to Stuart Little.  She is also LOVING Say Zoop, an interactive book by the same author as Press Here. 

As for me, I haven’t picked anything up since the middle of the Summer.  I read The Woman in Cabin 10 and it was fantastic! Looking into books to grab at our next Library visit! Any recommendations?

Watching:

I am SO pumped for Fall TV.  Dancing with the Stars starts tonight and I couldn’t be more excited! We will also be watching How to Get Away With Murder and binge watching Jane the Virgin on Netflix! Who else watches it? We are on Season 2!

Drinking:

This Pumpkin Praline Coffee from Community Coffee. I am all about the Pumpkin Spice!

Eating:

This time of year we always have something baking, and right now I am DIGGING these Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cookies.  They are so moist and delicious!

  • Ingredients
    •   1/2 cup of unsalted butter (room temp)
    • 1 8 oz. block of cream cheese
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1/2 cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 3/4 ts salt
    • 1 ts baking soda
    • 2 cups flour
    • 1 12 oz bag chocolate chips
  • Steps
    • Mix butter, cream cheese, sugar and brown sugar
    • Add in all other ingredients one at a time mixing well after each addition
    • Roll into 1 inch balls and pat flat.
    • Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
    • Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes or until browned
  • Notes
    • Mine took about 14 minutes
    • They will start to brown but look fairly gooey still. No worries, they will set as they cool

Praying For:

If you don’t already know, Christopher and I are opening our own T-shirt shop.  Things have been moving fairly slowly.  My prayers are that we find the right people to help us build out our shop so that we can open very soon!

Working on:

Constantly working on growing our blog and instagram. We love connecting with all of you! If you like what you read/see please feel free to share! 🙂

Looking Forward to:

All things Fall! Pumpkin Patch, trick or treating, fall recipes and spending time with family and friends! Oh and cool weather! We so need it to cool off here in Dallas!

Loving for Mommy:

I know I shared these already, but on the off chance you missed it, these Old Navy Crop Pants are life!

Wishlist for Mommy:

This Gap Pullover sweater.

Loving for Hallie:

These Unicorn Pajamas from Carters.  Hallie just loves them and she looks too cute in them!

Wishlist for Hallie: 

This precious Old Navy Polka-dot Dress

What have you guys been up to? What are you loving? Have a great week!

Back to School Style

September 1, 2017

Week one of preschool is in the books! Hallie had such a blast making new friends and spreading those independent wings of hers just a little bit. In fact when I picked her up yesterday she sobbed because she was having so much fun she didn’t want to leave! Sweet brave girl! So as we gear up for our 2nd full week of preschool, I am sharing some of our Back To School Style Favorites.

one/two/three/four/five/six/seven

Hallie picked out her backpack and lunchbox. Horses and unicorns are the new obsession over here! I absolutely love how versatile the June and January Twirl Skirts are! Looking forward for their release Friday, September 8th! We are planning on stocking up on Striped and Solid twirls as well as their adorable Cardigans! To get 15% off of your first order, be sure to use our referral code!

Happy Shopping!

Mint Standard the dress every mom needs

August 9, 2017

You know when you fall in love with a piece of clothing.  Nothing in your closet seems to compare and you want to wear it everyday? That is Mint Standard dresses for me. I seriously need to get one for every day of the week, because I never want to take it off.

My friend Kelley wanted to create an article of clothing that was presentable enough to wear to work, but also comfortable enough to wear running errands and playing with the kids. Clothing that is both comfortable as well as fashionable! There are so many amazing features about these clothes that I just cannot stop gushing about them!

First, the fabric is similar to that of high end sports wear so it wicks sweat. Which means you are free to chase your kids in the hot summer sun and still look absolutely fabulous while you do it! It also is super stretchy and has the deepest pockets you’ve ever seen! Feel free to tuck anything inside them; beer, your child’s toys, a subway foot long…try it, they’ll fit! Plus who doesn’t love a dress with pockets?!

Not convinced yet? Check out Kelley’s segment on Charlotte Today and see the dress in action! I promise you will need one when you see it!

Freshly Picked Review/ Instagram GIVEAWAY

February 27, 2017

“Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.”- Marilyn Monroe



Freshly Picked moccassins are definitely those shoes for our littlest Mock, Hallie! Hallie has been wearing Freshly Picked Moccasins since she was only a few months old. They will always hold such a special place in my heart, because they tell the story of her childhood.  All of her firsts were done in Freshly Picked! From her first steps to her first birthday, these shoes have been along for the ride!

Our Moccs have been on family vacations, to the park, and to Church. She has warn them with Halloween costumes for family photos,on her birthdays and on so many holidays I have lost count!

Not only are they adorable and come in the most gorgeous vibrant colors, but the quality is outstanding! They are made from the very best quality leather and hold up incredibly well! Even for the spunkiest most active little girl! Don’t believe me? We recently received these precious Spring Orchid Soft Soled Moccasins from the Classic’s Collection  Hallie wore them for the first time to the Tulip Field. It had recently rained, and Hallie got them incredibly muddy. That night I wiped them clean with the Freshly Picked leather wipes and they look practically good as new!

Hallie has worn these shoes in every stage of her life, from crawling to her first wobbly steps to running and jumping on the playground, these shoes have held up through all of her tough love! They are great for early walkers because those cute little toes can feel the ground through the shoes, but they protect those perfect piggies from the rough pavement! The elastic is right around the ankle so they go on with ease and stay on perfectly!

They come in a large variety of colors and styles to match every outfit, every mood and every personality!

Want to hear the best news about this brand?  They are being so kind, and offering one of my lucky readers a chance to win a pair of their own soft soled moccasins for your very own little one!

Just a few of my favorite things (Kids Accessories)

December 20, 2016

I love when I find quality products for Hallie! I have two recent favorites that I want to share with you today:

Turbans for Tots: 
I have been using these bows for Hallie for a while now, and I just can’t stop buying MORE! The colors and patterns are vibrant and fresh. The style of the bow is classic and pretty, but better yet the quality is absolutely AMAZING for the price. If bows aren’t your thing, there’s a variety of other accessories listed in her shop: Bow ties, turban hats, headbands and even scarfs.
The best thing about this shop by FAR however is that the sweet shop owner, Jenna is a real GEM! She is one of the nicest ladies I have worked with through Etsy.  She is a doll to converse with and always ships out items with lightning speed! If you have a girl or a boy, you should definitely check her out! 

Little Stocking Co:
Little Stockings Co makes hand dyed Knee High Socks and tights for girls and let me tell you, they are TO DIE FOR! The colors are absolutely vivid and GORGEOUS and the quality of the Stocking itself is AMAZING. The solid colors are perfect because they pair with seriously everything in Hallie’s closet! I definitely am going to need them in every color!  I love that they are thick enough to wear right now in this chilly weather, but also not too thick so that Hal will still be able to pair them with her dresses this coming spring and summer! I am kicking myself for not ordering Bashful Blue! It’s going to be a must this Spring! I am having such a hard time not pulling these out of Hal’s Stocking so she can wear them now! You need some!  Head on over to Little Stocking Co now and Sock up….I mean Stock up (See what I did there??)

What are your favorite kids accessories?
