Just cool things

These images just have a cool imaginative feel to them, I just wanted to share!

Baby Shoes

Cute. there are no two ways about it, baby shoes are like, the CUTEST thing in the world!
this was my favorite pair that Brooklyn had when she was just learning to walk. they were from Old Navy fall of 2009.

They were such a little version of a grown up style! I am hoping to find Laina the same ones for this summer. Here are some of the ones on Old Navy's website that I like right now.

New Summer Dress

Theres nothing quite like the feeling of a new dress on a warm spring evening
heres Brooklyn's photos from yesterday that are worth a thousand words

Girls Bedroom ideas

I have begun compiling ideas for the girls room re-do. I want to give it a big girl style, but with girly aspects that will be able to grow with them. I also have to make it organized enough for all the clothes and toys these two have acquired so here are some of the looks i have been leaning towards.

Simple and Clean

 Pretty <3

I Like the two matching beds idea but im not sure if i have the space in their room.....

I kind of like the idea of tan/white wall stripes or some sort of light patterned wallpaper on the wall behind the bed to break up the wall color a bit and add texture.

I wanted to get them each a monogram like this to go over their beds, but seeing as i dont know if I will be able to fit two twin beds in the room and still have any space to do anything else, I may have to modify this idea....but I loooooove the look of monograms.

So there you have some of my inspiration, we shall see where it goes from there, I will keep you updated!

Easter Treats

Inspired by a Rice Krispies commercial, I got the idea to make these cute little Easter treats. I love how they look so springy and bright.  I looked around online a bit and found the suggestion to substitute chinese noodles for the Rice Krispies to make them look even more realistic! So the girls and I set out to make our own!

Here is what you will need:  Marshmellows, chow mein noodles, candy eggs, peeps, butter and pam spray.  thats it!

Melt butter and marshmallows in a pan over low heat like you would for Rice Krispies.

 
I kept Baby entertained with an ice cube :-)

Stirring in the chow mein noodles until coated, then spray hands with pam and shape into nests on a cookie sheet and allow to set for a little while.

 Play with Baby while nests where cooling down

 Fill nests with candy eggs and place a peep on the edge. We used tooth picks to secure them so they would not fall off.

Our Version <3

Rain Boots

After a snow storm and a thunderstorm within the last 24 hours, we are now finally getting some normal April showers type weather. Although I still cant wait to get into the 70 plus degrees...48 and drizzle does make for a rather cute photo shoot opportunity. :-)  So Brooklyn and I, while Baby Lou watched from the open front door, pulled on our rain boots and had some fun outside!

Where we  got it:

My boots - Sears, $19.98

Brooklyn's boots - Tractor Supply, $14.99 or online here

Lavender children's umbrella - Meijer, $7.99

As We All Know

If you have girls, you know that we tend to have a bit of a weakness for things that are pretty and pink.  This blog is intended to be a collection of those cutest of things that I just cant keep to myself!
