If you are shopping for a gift to get for a young girl. A pillow pet is the way to go. My neice is 5 and has 5 different pillow pets and would still love another one!  I am serious, if your are looking for the best gift to get a young girl between the ages of 3 and 10, a pillow pet will make you her favorite person!

This bed is every little girls dream! She already feels like a princess! She loves to watch all kinds of movies about princesses and now she can even sleep in a princess bed while she dreams about being a real princess! If I ever get to have a little girl, I would definitely get her this bed!

This is the Disney Hannah Montana Washburn 3/4 scale electric guitar.   They just lowered the price over at Amazon, which would make one little girl I know very happy if she knew about it (and many girls across the country happy as a holiday gift as well). 

If I’m not seeing Hannah Montana on television, I’m hearing Miley Cyrus on a CD in this house.  She’s quite popular here. 

If you’d rather have it as an acoustic guitar, it’s available as well.

I saw this girls clothing commercial today that had some really cute fashions on it called Mad Style (by True Jackson).  I thought it was cute so I looked it up online and the prices were great!  Come to find out, they’re offered at Wal-Mart!  Who doesn’t have a Wal-Mart nearby?  Just about everybody I’d think. 

Wal-Mart didn’t show the high top tennis shoes I saw but the Mad Styleweb site had them and they are ADORABLE!  They had blue, pink, and green plaid.  I’m adding them to my school shopping list for my eight-year-old and maybe adding them to my preschooler’s list too!

Miley Cyrus and Max Azria have teamed up to bring a girls’ clothing line to a Wal-Mart near you!  I was walking through Wal-Mart today for groceries and was pleasantly surprised to see the clothing line.  This is perfect for my tween daughter who likes Miley’s look (and perfect for mom who doesn’t like rocker prices!). 

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!
