I’m still in awe after watching the #RoyalWedding yesterday!  From the amazing fashion, to the ceremony, to being able to witness the love between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, I’m simply in a state of excitement and love.

Summer wedding season is almost upon us and I’m sure with all of us experiencing the afterglow of the royal ceremony, we’re seeking fashion inspired by this glorious event.  If your little ones are in fact part of an upcoming wedding party or on the guest list, I’d say these are some very cute styles that one would consider royal worthy.

Happy shopping! 🙂

It seems like summer has passed by in the blink of an eye and before we know it the kiddos will be back in school.  One of my standout memories of the season is the popular unicorn trend which has popped up everywhere – remember the limited time Frappuccino at Starbucks?

For those of us who have a special place in our heart for unicorns, I’ve picked a few fun styles that will allow this majestic creature to accompany our little students when it’s time for the school bell to ring again.

Happy shopping! 😊

Happy shopping! 😊

Planning for baby can be a bit overwhelming to say the least.  Though I now consider myself a sophomore mom, I still find myself reminiscing about what worked best for me as I witness friends and family members having their first babies. (Three amazing little ones have arrived already this year with another one making his or her arrival very soon😊)

With so many different needs to consider, wouldn’t it be great to have one single resource for advice and tips on how to prepare for baby?  When I discovered Babygenie.com, I honestly felt a bit late to the party given the amazing tools and resources that literally begin at the moment of the journey towards becoming pregnant.  Even better, the online advice is free and there’s also a free app available for download on Google Play and iTunes.

What I especially love about Babygenie.com is the ability to browse by category for recommendations as to how you can prepare for every possible need you can think of when it comes to welcoming your baby home.  From setting up the nursery, to recommended furniture, to every single essential item that you will you come to rely on during your baby’s first year and beyond.

As most women will share with expectant moms, the closer you get to your baby’s expected arrival, the more you will receive unsolicited advice from parents, friends, and loved ones; all of whom have their unique opinions as to what it’s like to become a parent and how you should prepare, etc.  While advice is always welcome, you as the expectant parent will of course have your own ideas as to how you would like to prepare for your baby’s arrival, including how you will style your nursery, the type of crib, car seat, stroller, pack and play, and other essentials you prefer.  Enter the baby shower moment….if you’re like me, at the beginning of the pregnancy you’ll see a print you absolutely adore and will want to multiply that look across all your categories – for example, chevron everything – LOL!

Having a resource like Babygenie.com allows you to easily seek advice on how to prepare and most importantly build a baby registry that you can share with friends and family as well as link your wish lists across various stores.  This is especially helpful when you have favorites located at different stores from whom you want to purchase baby gear which the Babygenie.com registry will allow you to do.  What’s even more fun is the registry builder resembles a Pinterest layout so you can spend lots of time creating unique boards by category of your wish list items that are then searchable when a shower guest logs on to Babygenie.com to view your baby shower registry.

As I now live vicariously through friends and family having children, I will definitely recommend Babygenie.com as a reliable go-to resource for their journey from pregnancy to becoming a member of the best club in the world, motherhood!

Funny how summer has officially been in progress for a little over a month, yet back to school promotions are upon us.  As a former retail employee, I totally get it, however I’m determined and focused on cherishing every single minute that is left of summer.

My love of shopping of course motivates me to get a head start on school prep which includes collaborating with my little man on what his backpack style will be this year.

Here are a few of my early faves that are sure to help our mini ladies and gents get excited for the return to school.

Happy shopping! 😊

Summer is right around the corner! As we get ready for warmer days, trips to the pool, and walks along sandy beaches, I’m excited to share trending styles that are sure to have our little ones ready to take on the sun.

A straw bag is one of my long-time favorite summer fashion staples and I love seeing smaller versions for the little ladies in our lives.

Happy shopping! 🙂

Now that we are experiencing warmer days and are pretty much halfway through Spring, I’m ready for some fun in the sun.

Here are some of my recent style finds that will have little ones ready to head to the pool and beach as soon as the clock strikes SUMMER!

Happy shopping! 🙂

I love this time of year because winter is officially over and I know that warmer weather will be here very soon.  Although rain tends to be inevitable in the forecast these days, I’m excited about spring’s promise of renewal and I would much rather deal with wet weather in the form of rain instead of snow.

While “April showers bring May flowers,” there’s still a fashion moment that can brighten our little one’s style even when the sun is hidden.

Here are a few of my favorite rainy day designs that will keep our babies dry, even after we’ve told them not to jump in the puddles multiple times.  Lol

Happy shopping! 🙂
