Small Words

While setting up Grace's big girl room I was searching high and low for some whimsical, girly bird art to hang above her bed. I found Small Words through Kelly's Korner, and I am so glad I did! Small Words specializes in custom name canvases for your little ones, but she can really do anything. Kim is so talented and so great to work with. Most her canvases are created with some 3 dimensional detail and it really makes her art unique. Here are some examples of her work.

This is one of the bird paintings small words did for my Grace Parker. I LOVE them. Look at the feathers! I chose two square canvases that compliment each other and hang side by side over her bed. I think these birdies will be hanging around Grace's room for a long time!

My Wild Man

I recently came across these two shirts that have Dean's name all over them.

This Little DJ Onesie would be so cute on my Little Dean Jackson

and this just cracks me up. Seriously, I have been meaning to take a nap since mid October. 

Lil' Bug Clothing

I love Lil' Bug Clothing on their huge selection of sweet, little girl clothes.
I actually purchased Grace's 2nd birthday outfit from there and it was pretty darn cute.

Right now I am loving the Lil' Bug Christmas outfits!

                 I think this one is my favorite. I have serious animal print love.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving, from my family to yours!

My little Dean is feeling yucky and did NOT want to be photographed today. He visited the dr. yesterday and on top of a bad cold, sometime in the last 4 weeks he lost a tube and already has an ear infection! Here we go again.......


Miss Grace Parker has some funny Thanksgiving smiles for you, though!

Her shirt was made by She She Made!

I hope you have a great day, surrounded by the people you love!

Dean's Hat

In August of 2009, Jeremy's brother got married to my dear sister-in-law and they had a seriously beautiful wedding. Dean Jackson was only 5 months old at the time, and I was determined to find a stylish hat for him to wear to the wedding. I found the perfect hat on etsy at Kid in the Hat. It is SO well made and it was perfect with his little man suit! Just look at my little baby boy!!

You can purchase Dean's hat here!

Planet Pudge

Isn't Planet Pudge such a cute etsy shop name? I love the name, and I love the shop.

I know some sweet little boys who would love this train shirt

                                        Trendy Merry Christmas

        Planet Pudge has a big selection of CUTE birthday shirts for both boys and girls

                                     and some cuteness for everyday wear

        I really think Dean might need this for valentines day. ummm...so stinkin' cute!

You can find these precious designs here!

Tooth Fairy

My children are not at the loose tooth stage yet. Honestly, I do not think I am going to be able to handle pulling teeth. That job will be all for daddy, and if daddy is out of town I suspect we will be taking a trip to Grammy and Pop's house for some tooth pulling assistance.

While I will not be capable of pulling a tooth, I will be capable of purchasing a super cute tooth fairy pillow.  I love these sweet pillows from Lil Toothless Monkey! They are all around $14 and so super cute.

I also like the idea of having a dish on your child's bedside table. This makes for a less sleep disturbing tooth fairy. Sunshine Ceramics have some really sweet ones!

So....I guess I should actually schedule my kids' first dentist appointments before I worry about the tooth fairy, huh?

Chic Memories

There are many things I struggle to keep up with as a busy mommy of two, but somehow, I am very diligent about keeping up with my childrens photos and memory/baby books. The baby book I bought when Grace was born is very up to date, but also very blah. I was so thrilled when I was pregnant with Dean and I came across Chic Memories and their gorgeous baby books.  The Chic Memories baby books are so full of intricate details. They are worth every penny, especially for someone like me who is scapbook handicapped :)

                           Here are some examples of their beautiful books

               This is the book I purchased for Dean. Perfection!

Matilda Jane

I am slow. I only discovered Matilda Jane this season. I was unaware of this fabulous girls clothing line and the thousands of moms who are die-hard loyal fans. This stuff is gorgeous. Let's just say, if Grace was on the Suri  Cruise budget she would be outfitted in Matilda Jane daily.

                                                    Here are a few of her fabulous designs.

and now for my sweet and sassy little model. Here is my Grace Parker in her first, and not last, Matilda Jane.

go, shop, and enjoy. If you want to make a purchase, you will need to locate a trunk keeper in your area!
