Mommy is Tired

Tonight I am feeling a little brain dead. This is primarily due to my almost 2 year old son who did not nap today, who also is very much acting like an almost 2 year old. I'll just say getting him in and out of the car is draining me.

It. is. such. a. fight.

After getting him out of the car yesterday and then taking his screaming self into the grocery store he wiggled out of my arms, laid face first on the store floor and screamed. I caught the eye of a sweet woman ordering coffee and she sympathetically smiled at me. All I could think to say was (with a sigh) " he is going to be 2 on Friday". She just laughed and said "Oh baby, we have all been there".

Even though he makes me so tired, he melts me even more. He keeps telling me knock knock jokes that he is attempting to copy from his big sister, he tells me thank you 500 times a day, and he requests the "oh-oh I want some more" song every time we get in the car. The request is "mommy?, mommy? Uh-oh?"
I love him more than life.
Stay tuned for some super cute etsy purchases from his birthday party!

In the meantime I linked a couple cute Easter items below.

I love these matching shirts for your kids this Easter. You can find them at Fly Duds!

and this peeps shirt is just so sweet. I love it! It is made by Bridget and Co.

Grace would love this peeps necklace in her basket!

I hope you are all enjoying Spring Break!
I am very much looking forward to a glass of wine and some American Idol tonight :)

Personalized Easter Baskets

I have a bug to get my kids cute Easter baskets, and I am betting you don't have to guess where I went to look. :)

The etsy selection did not disappoint, and here are some of my favorites!

I love this cute pail from Swanky Baby Boutique. It is $28.50 and they will add you daughters name.

and this zebra bucket is fun! It is $23.95 at Dilly Dallie

This blue bunny bucket is darling. It is $18.00 at DeLa Design.

For your train lover, found at Lily bella boutique

Isn't this fabric basket from Twenty Little Toes so sweet?

This one from Sassyfras Designz is beautifully hand painted

another sweet one from Sassyfras!

My favorite just might be these Market totes turned Easter baskets from Graysie Bugs! They are $21.99 and they can be used all year.  I also like that they are big enough to hold a lot of goodies!

What are you planning on filling your Easter baskets with this year? I need some good ideas!!

A Little More Swim

I got the CWD kids catalog in the mail this week and felt the need to add 2 more suits to my swimming selections.

I love this yellow one. I think because it reminds me so much of the first time orphan Annie went swimming at Daddy Warbucks house.

and clearly, this Ruffle Rose Tankini is just darling!

You can find them both at CWD kids!
my other swim picks are here

Rodeo Recap and The Cowgirl Dress you want

Last week my parents treated me, my babies, and my sweet, darling, precious nieces to a fun day at the rodeo. It was SO much fun. The weather was perfect, there were no lines, and the kids were in heaven.
I did what was expected, and upon learning of our rodeo day I began planning the kids outfits. I knew Dean would be rodeo perfection in his bunking bronco shirt from alacrity designs. I also knew he would be wearing his boots. Not so much because of the rodeo, but more because he wears them every. single. day. When I try to sneak his other shoes on him he shouts "No! Boots!!!" Good thing they are so cute, and I just love that he is SUCH a boy. Don't even get me started on Dean in nothing but a diaper and cowboy boots. LOVE.

Grace didn't have such a clear clothing choice on such short notice, but she did have these sassy pink cowboy boots. I thought they looked cute paired up with this pink tutu skirt and her "g" She She Made t-shirt. Just look at this child. It is a shame she doesn't feel comfortable in front of the camera.

I love this pic of Grace and my niece, Juliet. Grammy gave them these sweet piggy braids.

Grace loves her cousins so much. She told me this week that when she grows up she is going to be Scarlett. She also says that she, Scarlett, and Juliet are all three twins.

The kids farming/education area was so wonderful. It was worth the trip for this alone.

And Dean Jackson enjoyed taking it all in with his beloved Pops.

If you are having a hard time sleeping because you need the perfect rodeo attire for your children, I am here to help. You can find Dean's super soft  rodeo shirt at alacrity designs.
Here is a yellow initial shirt like Grace's from She She Made.
and here is one seriously cute rodeo dress for your little cowgirl. It is made by Janum and I love, love, really love it.

Thanks Grammy and Pops for the great day!!!
