Trendy Tots - Mini Me Style

My kids LOVE to dress alike.  They call it being "mini me".  Mia especially loves it and asks if we can buy matching clothes all the time.  We only have a few things, but here are a couple of pictures. 

Hanna Andersson has a few cute options for matching clothes.  They are comfy and hold up well.  I bought Mia the same dress in a size larger so she can wear it again this year as well.  We also have these outfits in grey and yellow, but I can't find the pictures.

We also have matching PJ's.  Children's place has some awesome deals right before or right after Christmas.  We always stock up for the following year. 

What's a cute outfit without a great ride, right? 

My husband built this using the body of a jeep that wasn't working anymore.  He just attached the stroller handles to it and bam....a jeep wagon.  We do plan to paint the wheels though.

The kids love their motorized jeep.  We are looking forward to Spring weather again!

What are your kids looking forward to wearing or riding this spring?  Link up and tell us!

House Progress

If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen these pictures already.  We are still unpacking, but we did manage to put the kid's rooms and the playroom together.  Here is a sneak peak.

The pictures are lopsided, but I framed some book covers for above their book case.  The black dots are chalkboard decals.  There are 4 of them.

Mia loves for me to hang her artwork from school so I thought I'd create an art gallory.  Now I just have to find a way to keep the corkboard in the frames.  BTW...Gorilla glue doesn't work on that.  I'm up for suggestions. 

This is one of Mia's closets (she has 2).  This one has her summer dresses and shoes.  Ignore the sleeping bag at the top.  I don't know why it isn't folded.  The bin is full of dress up clothes and accessories. 

Pax got a ball pit for his room.  He loved the one at feeding therapy so much, I couldn't resist.  He also loves to wear his helmet.  Crazy kid.

Though we were busy unpacking most of the weekend, we did manage to get outside and enjoy the nice weather.  I'm so happy that we have a large flat driveway now!  The kids love it too. 

Life at the new house

Day 2 in our new house and we have no cable, no Internet, no home phone, and a big fat mess. Calgon take me away... Anyone want to come to MD and help?

Book Review - Bared to you---this book is hot

via

H

Amazon Description: 

Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness... 

He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily... 

Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private worlds...and desires.

The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart...

 
  I loved this book...this is probably one of my favorite romance novels; however, I found book 2 to be not as exciting.  The potential was there, but there was not enough drama.  But anyway...I'm looking forward to book 3 coming out in May and I'm excited to participate in this months book club questions.    1. What did you think of Gideon Cross?  He's hot...tall, dark, and handsome.  A bad boy with a good heart.  2. If you had to pick an actor to play Gideon in a movie who would it be?  Although he is supposed to have longish hair, I picture someone like Matt Boomer. 3. Thoughts on Eva?  She's smart and beautiful, yet very insecure.  I really liked her in book 1, but in book 2 she seemed a little needy (in my opinion). 4. If you had to pick an actress to play Eva in a movie who would it be?  Good question!  She is supposed to be young and blond....maybe Blake Lively?  Amanda Seifried?  5. Thoughts on Gideon and Eva's relationship?  I really like them together.  Somehow, their dysfunction works.  6. Thoughts on sexual abuse past for the characters?  I wish they had gone further into Gideon's past in book 1.  7. Which is better- Fifty Shades or Bared to you?  Bared to you.  Ana's "Inner Goddess" in 50 Shades was really annoying. 

Trendy Tots, Fur, animal prints...and a smile

I love fun bright clothes...Mia does too as she adored her hot pink fur vest from Gymboree last year

Animal prints are always a favorite...

She especially loved her Zebra print pants (she had the skirt and dress as well).

I can't leave out my little man...his best accessory is always his smile...

This kid kills me....
