Stuff I Love

It seems like every time I do a Stuff I Love post, it's about something for my kiddo. 

And it's always something I've ordered. I have zero self control. Dreaming? Nah. My reality is pretty good, I guess. My husband will likely only roll his eyes and tsk tsk when he finds it in the mail box.

This is a little Tea Collection dress I ordered for my mini-me from Zulily.. 
Of course it was like the very last one, hence my super urgent need to order it. I just feel like she will be so darn cute in it either with something under it or with just bare arms and legs. It will be great for family dinners and such. And the fun colors are something she will love, too. And that's important as she asserts her own little style. 

Toddler Fashion: Minnie Mouse Style

Recently, my tiny human has taken a serious liking to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and is now obsessed with Mickey & Minnie. I love it! It means we're getting ready to go to Disney World as soon as I can talk my husband into it.

Over the weekend, she decided that nothing but Mickey clothes would do. Minnie Mouse interchanges beautifully, fortunately, as we had zero clothes with the man mouse on them. She wore her Minnie Mouse pajamas all day Sunday, refusing to take them off, as she had refused to wear anything else the night before. We added a tutu and called it a day. In light of this, I realized we needed more than one clothing item with a Mouse on it. And something other than pajamas. I hadn't seen anything great Saturday at Target and I just didn't feel a trip to Wal-Mart. I hardly ever do unless I have my husband. So, the Disney Store was my solution. I really wanted to load my virtual cart with everything....but I settled on three items with the help of my tiny human. After all, all of this stuff is for her so she ought to like it, right?

I'm so happy with our little purchases and cannot wait for them to arrive on our doorstep!

Shoes + Toddler = Hell

My 21 month old daughter, E, refuses to wear shoes other than her Crocs. Period. The end. Sometimes, she will wear her squeaky shoes without too much heartache. Some days, she won't even wear the Crocs. I think those days, she just doesn't want to leave the house, period. Other days, she puts her Crocs on by herself and insists we leave or go outside. 

You never know what you'll get. It may be a tantrum or a good time, and no one knows which it will be until that minute. 

I'm fairly certain the Crocs are such a hit because she can put them on herself. Independence is key with a strong-willed little girl.

So...today, we ordered new winter Crocs. Hello, beautiful, you make my life one tiny bit easier.
