This is an adorable shirt for a boy. If you know of a woman who is pregnant and she is having a boy you should really check out Estella nyc’s line of clothing for children!

In my honest opinion, I feel that there are much cuter clothes for girls then there is for boys. This is very disappointing to me. Boys wan’t to look cute too. Not cute like a girl, but in a boy way. I wish stores would have equal cuteness!

What would be a awesome idea is to have matching outfits for boys and girls. For example, have different colors but sort of the same detailing so that brother and sister could match!

Time to start shopping for those warmer pajamas and these make for great holiday gifts.  Of course the kids do not like them all that much…getting clothing for the holidays but I know the parents do…at least I love it when my kids get clothes because it is one less thing I will have to worry about getting for them. Naartjie has a great selection of clothing for both boys and girls of many ages and sizes.  And they are very stylish and trendy as well as very affordable.  So you not only please the kids with great looking clothing that is unique and stylish but you the people buying the kids clothes also like it because they save shopping online!

Love to wear nail polish but frustrated that you just can’t seem to find that perfect shade? Well, then make your own!

Here is what you will need:

• 1 paper envelope
• 1 bottle white or clear nail polish
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon finely crushed powder eyeshadow or as needed ( your choice)
• 1/3 teaspoon fine glitter (optional)

Start by making a tiny funnel by snipping off a corner of the envelope. Open the bottle of nail polish and position the funnel over the top.

Pour the eyeshadow and the glitter together into the nail polish bottle (use the funnel). Mix well with a small wooden stick. You can also close the bottle and shake well.

That’s it! Now all you have to do is try it! Brush a little on a nail. If you’re not satisfied with the color or the sparkle, add more! nails

What is going on?  There are babies being born everywhere!  At first I thought that maybe it was just that time of my life where when you hit you late 20′s, people start having babies… but EVERYONE is having babies, I swear!  One thing I love though are baby showers and luckily I love to shop for them too!  I typically love to buy baby clothes but I also have been considering making one larger purchase, something like baby furniture as opposed to a bunch of smaller items.  You too may want to consider spending more on one large item then spending less on a collective amount of individual items at Target or somewhere that ends of costing more all together then the one larger item.  Perhaps I’m just more focused on the economic issues we’re all facing, but I still want to support my friends and help out as we all know that babies can be quite the financial burden for new parents.

Alyssa is all ready for the fall. She really hasn’t grown too much since last year (just upwards!), so all of her pants from last year fit her just fine. She inherited my short legs, so at least this year most of her jeans won’t be dragging the ground. I seriously have to roll up the cuffs on 90% of her pants. It’s ridiculous!

Ryan, on the other hand, not so ready…. he has new shirts, about ten of them. But he needs pants. I wasn’t sure what size pants he had leftover from last year, so I decided to wait on buying new ones until I checked out his drawers. Well, I went through them yesterday, and he’s down to one pair of jeans and two pairs of cargo pants. Ridiculous! That kid grows too much. He was wearing 24mo/2T in the summer of 2007, here we are in the fall of 2008 and 5T fits him now. In comparison, Alyssa is wearing 5T loosely, and she’s almost two years older than him. Well, that’s my chunky baby.

So guess who has to go shopping for more baby clothes. Or should I say toddler clothes, since there’s nothing really BABY about a whopping 5 in toddler sizes!

Psst… anyone else who has a horse-sized toddler like mine, check out eBay for onesies. I found a bunch (new! in packaging!) by Gerber that are 4T! I’m stoked!

When you think about it, it’s amazing that there are literally thousands of items to buy for a new baby. I know we spent a decent chunk of change and time on new baby things for Alyssa. With our second child, we didn’t have to get the big things, but we needed a lot of new boys clothes, since we were having a boy, and obviously he wouldn’t look too good in pink or purple.

What was your favorite baby purchase?

In addition to work, I have laundry to finish up, and a desk to organize. I was going to fix my old laptop for Dan (weird driver issue), but Jason is over and is taking care of that for me (thanks Jason!). I also need to go through Alyssa’s drawers. She has a lot of fall and winter clothing in them from last year, and I want to try everything on her and weed out what doesn’t fit. Ryan has a bottom drawer filled with clean and in good condition baby clothes that I need to donate, but I’m waiting until I get Alyssa’s clothes sorted out. Then I’ll run everything over to a local shelter at once.
