Happened upon this super-awesome article from Parenting Magazine; 30 DIY Birthday Cake Designs! Love these sort of findings, thank you people at Parenting for making life as a mom (with countless birthday party pressure on!) that much easier : ) Here's a few of my favorites...
(How adorably simplistic is that Lego cake?? They say to use a Jolly Rancher candy - but you can use half of a large sized marshmellow and cover it with the cake frosting!)
I'm totally loving this set of stuffed felted alphabet! What an adorable way to encourage you're new reader to form some words of their own, it's actually enticing me! From MiChiMa on Etsy.
Thought I'd share this great little plastic plate that you can pick up at Target for 94¢ - it was featured for Valentines day, so it's on clearance. Really cute though, and the colors are muted so it doesn't stick out like a kids plastic eye-sore : )
Photographed this; what was on Freida's plate when she started spitting out her food (she generally spits out food when she is done/full), this was after 2 bites of her favorite breakfast! Nothing more aggravating for a mom than working on a meal for your little loved one only to have them spit it out repeatedly, refusing to consume a bit! This is how breakfast, lunch, and dinner go in our household from the time she starts teething until that little tooth breaks...!! We're currently just over the upper fangs, dreading the lower ones that are evidently coming closer each day, and trying to figure out a way to get some sustanance into her tiny little body during the teething process...!
Here's a small selection of some of my favorite sweet little things for kids - new at Anthropologie. Check out the collection here. How lovely??
While shopping around these past few weeks (on the www) for some Purim costume inspiration, I came across some lovely sites. Here's one that struck a chord (though, unfortunately on the retail high-brow) - Oopsy Daisy Baby. Whimsical, magical, lovely little girls pettiskirts - in a rainbow of color options, and an array of vintage chenille and other luxurious textiles and materials. Here's to girls!!
