You know those products that you get and think “How did I ever live without this?” Well, for me one of those products in Ryan and Rose. The only difference is that we have been using them for most of Elouise’s life, so my thought is more along the lines of “How could I ever live without this?” It sounds a little dramatic, I know but I totally mean it. Their slogan is ” Don’t want to lose it, Cutie Clip it” and it’s true. Anything that I want to keep secure I attach to a clip. Sometimes we have 3 or 4 clips working their magic at one time.
Small Shop Spotlight: Chewable Charm
Teething is one of those things that every parent dreads. I’m fairly positive that no mama has ever said, “My child is finally teething and it’s been such a joy.” Watching your child who is clearly uncomfortable fuss and refuse their sleep and sometimes even their food is dreadful. We try our best in our home to only use natural products, especially when it has come to Elouise. My two go to products for teething were an all natural teething gel and my pieces from Chewable Charm.
Small Shop Spotlight: Poppy Lane & Co.
It’s another Small Shop Spotlight with one of my favorites, Poppy Lane & Co. (PS you’ll want to read all the way until the end for a coupon code and a second giveaway) So, my first ever baby item that I received in the mail was a Poppy Lane & Co. bracelet and a matching one for me. Honestly, opening up that package was when it really hit me that a baby was going to be joining us. I just stared at that tiny little newborn size bracelet and marveled at how pretty soon that would fit on the tiny wrist of the sweet baby girl that was growing inside of me. For the next few weeks, I would pull out the bracelet and squeal and then stare at it while imagining all of the memories we would make in our matching bracelets.
Small Shop Spotlight: Favorite Hair Accessories
Being a girl mom means that we have a whole lot of bow, headbands, clips, and other accessories filling all sorts of drawers and bins in our house. In fact, I find bows in the most random spots, like the nooks and crannies of Elouise’s play kitchen, fallen in between the seats of the car, and in Daddy’s shoes. I’ve shares about some of my other favorite accessory shops before but today I have three awesome ones to share, each with their own coupon code.
Small Shop Spotlight: Alexandra Rose Handmade
The moment I knew I was having a little girl, I made a decision. I was going to be picky about how I dressed her. This is until of course she could voice her own opinions, in which case I’m sure she’ll pick the most obnoxious combination of clothing as most toddlers do. My favorite was a pink and purple dress, halloween socks, and glittery ruby red slippers. God bless my mother for letting me leave the house like that. One of the places I discovered on my journey for stylish girl clothes is Alexandra Rose Handmade.
