I love a great purse. Who doesn't? But at this stage in my life, with two younger children, I need either a backpack or a crossbody purse. Having both of my arms and hands free is essential now. I do have a backpack, that is functional but not pretty. I have one other crossbody that is large and offers lots of organization, but again not very pretty. Now, I can happily say, I have a crossbody that is functional and very pretty. In fact, the Street Style from Thirty-one is exactly the kind of … [Read more...]
Valentine’s Day Gifts for Girls
Do you have a girl on your shopping list for Valentine's Day? Well, I have a few great ideas for you! Growing up my parents and grandparents always got us gifts for Valentine's Day and Easter. Even when I was an adult, before kids, my parents still gave my husband and I gifts for these holidays. It was always nice to get something special and small. I am continuing that tradition with my own kids. Do you do gifts in your home for the kids? Valentine's Day Gifts for … [Read more...]
Men’s Fashion Trend: A Stylish Watch
I mentioned before that my husband got a new job in October. He is pretty busy and therefore we decided to put our Princess in private school so I can focus more easily on parenting a quite unruly toddler boy. My husband wears a lot of suits, suit separates, sweaters, and ties now in this job, so I love looking at men's fashion trends. A new trend for this winter, besides a corduroy suit and great backpack is a stylish watch. Men's Fashion Trend: A Stylish Watch by lavonnelong I found … [Read more...]
He’s in LOVE with his Star Wars Shoes!
Winter often means new shoes for our kids. They also make a great holiday gift. We've always been big fans of Stride Rite since my Princess was young. They are just great quality shoes. So when I had the chance to review a couple pairs of the amazing Stride Rite shoes you know I was going a fun pair of shoes for my Little Man. His last pair was now a size too small, and every day he was asking to wear his "light up" shoes. When I saw the Darth Vader Star Wars shoes, that not only lit up but made … [Read more...]
Cute and Affordable Kid’s Winter Fashion
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for OshKosh B’gosh. I received an OshKosh B’gosh gift card to purchase product and to thank me for my participation. My sister-in-law has three boys -- 10, 8, and almost 6. I am blessed to say, most of my son's clothes are hand-me downs from her three boys. Not having to buy my son a complete new wardrobe has been nice. Many clothes are great brands too, like OshKosh B'gosh, that have made it through 3-4 boys (some of … [Read more...]
Can you use custom apparel?
I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for MyLocker. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation. Every summer thousands of Native Americans participate in a Canoe Journey on the West Coast. My dad has a 14-man canoe, the Salmon Dancer, that participates as well. It is amazing to be a part of something this big and to celebrate our Native American culture with so many others. Last year … [Read more...]
Toddler boys are hard on their clothes, aren’t they?
One of my Little Man's shirts was thrown away today. It was stained and stinky - beyond all hope. It wasn't the first time we had to do this. Toddler boys are hard on their clothes, aren't they? Boys are messy. Period. Add that to the fact that kids grow fast, and as a parent you just don't want to spend a lot on toddler boys clothes. How do you keep your kids clothes clean and presentable? I love this Garanimals commercial because it just feels so true doesn't it? Because kids grow so … [Read more...]
