Mustache March for Littles!

Hehehehe!!! 

It's here...Mustache March.

I had so much fun rounding up these handmade mustache accessories for little ones. Check out my Mustache March Round-Up post on The Shopping Mama to get all the details! 

We Love Kiwi Crate!

I posted about how much we love Kiwi Crate over on The Shopping Mama the other day.

Kiwi Crate is a great monthly craft box subscription for your kids. Ariana has been getting them for several months now and we really get excited when that little green box arrives in the mail.

For this box, one of the activities was a watercolor "under the sea" animals craft. The other was a sailboat and there was even a bonus activity! I made a list of 10 things I love about Kiwi Crate and shared it with TSM readers. I thought I would share my two favorite things about Kiwi Crate here too.

Top 2 things I really love about Kiwi Crate are:

1. A new box is delivered to my door monthly!
2. It encourages curiosity and creativity!

To read the 8 other things I love about kiwi crate, be sure to check out my Kiwi Crate review post.

Do you do Kiwi Crate? Would your child like something like this?

It makes a great gift too!

Coffee Themed Back to School Teacher Gift!

In just over a week Ariana will be stepping into her German Immersion Kindergarten class for the first time. 

I'm trying not to get emotional about it, but this is the beginning of her full time, formal education for the next 13 years. Not just preschool but "real" school.

Ariana's not nervous at all, and already knows her teacher since she's seen her around CLA. She's excited to have real school supplies this year. A primary notebook, folders, her own pencil box!

To help us prepare for the big day we put together a little coffee themed goodie bag for our teacher to help her get back into "the grind".

See more of our back to school teacher gift at The Shopping Mama and see what all we put in there or what other suggestions might work if you wanted to make something similar for your own kid's teachers this year.

There is also a free printable for the gift tag that I created to make putting together your gift a little easier!

To Celebrate the Royal Baby!

In case you didn't know. I was one of those people on baby watch on Monday as soon as I heard the news that Kate Middleton was in labor. Was it going to be a Prince or a Princess? I thought (or maybe I thought it would be cute) for them to have a little Princess but I was wrong. His Royal Highness George Alexander Louis was born later that day!

To celebrate his royal birth I created a gift guide over at The Shopping Mama!

It's full of posh and stylish baby gear and gifts.

Check out these "gifts fit for a prince". I'm sort of in love with them and want them for my own little prince!

And of course little Prince George is just precious and I hope Will and Kate are settling into parenthood  over these first few weeks.

Create a Summer Reading Fort!

I like to try to keep things creative for Ariana especially during the summer when she's out of school. Recently we created a reading fort in the backyard! She absolutely loved it.

Read more about our fort here on The Shopping Mama, as well as get tips to beat the Summer Slide. It's good to keep kid's brains engaged and active during the summer.

More Nursery Inspiration

I am having way too much fun working with The Shopping Mama and finding fun, funky, modern, and precious pieces that would work for a nursery. I recently created a Colorful Nursery Board and a super sweet Aqua and Elephant Nursery Board.

I discovered that I loved this sweet modern color combo and even though it could be gender neutral I feel a pull towards boy on this one. To see more and shop the goodies in this board click here. I love those elephant touches and I already bought one of these lovely items!

These fun colors would really pop for a funky baby nursery! I really love that multi-colored rug and of course that modern crib is so hip. For more info about this nursery board click here. Babies will love to grow and play in a room this fun!

And in case you missed it I also share my other nursery inspiration boards on the blog a few weeks ago. Be sure to check them out too.

MY Nursery Inspiration Boards

I'm 26 weeks pregnant (as of yesterday) and I've started to think about designing the nursery for this new little bundle. I'm so excited to be sharing what I've been doing on the The Shopping Mama lately. 

I've been having so much fun searching the internet to create these unique nursery inspiration boards.

Richard really loves this space and exploration themed nursery I came up with. Green, orange, grays, and blues and lots of rockets and stars pull this all together. I love the modern rocker and crib too! If you like this nursery board, see more about my starstruck baby inspiration board here. There you can find all the links to the goodies I've featured in this dream nursery.

This was the first one I came up with. Rustic, warm colors with some cute forest critters and you've got a woodland themed nursery for your little one. Seriously how cute is the plush fox and that mushroom lamp!? If this is more your fancy, you can find out more by checking out my woodland friends inspiration board. All the links to these warm and cozy nursery decor can be found there.

Neon Boy Style

I'm back over on The Shopping Mama with my roundup of neon boy clothing finds for Spring/Summer. It's the newest trend that we've already embraced with Ariana since we own some of the picks from my neon girl style post.

Go find the links to these colorful clothes here. I know if my little boy was here I'd be scooping up some of those cute clothes!

The Shopping Mama

I'm SUPER excited to announce that I've been collaborating with Kate over at The Shopping Mama as a new blogger.
