the haul

Some of you were asking what Amelia scored for Christmas this year. 

If you can remember, she received the most gifts last Christmas, which is before we even knew about her :)

Blabla friends

Rainbow Cushion

Peek-a-boo Panda (We call her Panda)

Wooden Instagram Camera

Earrings that she has already lost one of

Glitter bows now that her hair is long enough for them :)

Thief and Bandit leggings

a Bobo Choses sweater

Misha Lulu overalls

lots of toys for the bathtub since it's her favorite (including the bath crayons pictured above)

and books.

We got all of the clothing items off of Instagram.  It's like the only place I shop now for Amelia's clothes :)

She definitely made out like a bandit again this year.

She's worth it!

I seriously love

little pins.

Ummm...how did I go without blogging for so long?  Seriously, my hands itch to hit my keyboard so I can blog now :)

Are you ready for another edition of "Little Pins?"  Your little dose of all things adorable for your little ones.

Here we go!

1.  The light switch stickers are a MUST have for Amelia's room.  They have officially been added to her Christmas list.

2.  I adore this Holiday Gift Guide for little boys and can't wait for them to post the girl one!  Most of these items are pretty gender neutral anyway :)

3.  How sweet is this idea?  A little night time journal for your child to draw in each night, where they can illustrate the best part of their day!  I love this and I can't wait to be able to put something like this into action.

4.  I am SOOOO excited about this and can not wait to get one for Amelia!

Sophie & Lili has collaborated with Misha Lulu!!  Eeek!  Amelia has so many of their dresses and I think it will be so cute to get her one of these dolls with the matching dress!!

Amelia has this dress already and I love that the little doll also come as a little brown skin girl!!  (see it in the top right hand corner?)  If anyone is looking to get my girl a Christmas present...this is it :)

5.  And speaking of cute, and adorable dolls...Blabla is now doing cloth dolls!  What a fresh little spin on their classic knit dolls. love love love

Seriously, these are the days that I wish money grew on trees :)  In the meantime, I will continue to window shop online and dream about all of this cuteness.

Happy browsing.

little clothes

Seriously, I am spending all of my time buying and selling little clothes on Instagram.  It's crazy and I love it.

I have scored Amelia some of the most beautiful clothes.

Being on there, and seeing so many things that I LOVE, made me want to narrow down my list of "must have" brands for my little one.

I love clothes that are made by small companies.  I love bold prints and unique designs.  I also love a complete mix and match of fabrics too.  Here are my current list of favorite brands for Amelia right now.

1.  My heart will always belong to Misha Lulu.  Always.

2.  and do not get me started on the cuteness that is Bobo Choses.

3.  I just scored a Matilda Jane dress from my friend's Trunk Show that she hosted and I am officially hooked on their dresses now too!

4. Winter Water Factory has the most amazing prints, plus their fabric is so incredibly soft :)

5.  Polarn y Pyret is quickly making it's way to the top of my list.  I love their prints so much :)

6.  Mini Boden is another line that just pays attention to the details and I love that!!  They are adorable!

The best thing about shopping these Instagram closets, is that I can get these great brands at a GREAT price.  Amelia has scored a lot of great pieces from these closets.  I love the little community of mommas that I have "met" through them.

You can shop Amelia's closet on Instagram at @shop4amelia.

You can also check out all of the cute closets that I follow too!!

AND if you are looking for cute little boy clothes, my sister has Jack's clothes for sale there as well @jackmankscloset.

happiness is...

♥Happiness is♥

1.  Walking with my husband and the pups

2.  Great mail days

3. tea with my mom

4.  Great garage sale finds!

 I had this when I was little but I have never seen one without the blonde hair, blue eyed girl.  This little dark haired girl made my day :)

 All of these for 50 cents!  These will be a gift for another blog friend :)

 $10 vintage metal dollhouse! It is in perfect condition and fully stocked with furniture :)

 A vintage Black Beauty board game.  I love this so much!

 This chair and ottoman, in AMAZING condition for only $5 was my most favorite score.  I actually got it for my sister but I wish I had room for it in my house!

I also found the sweet (Dutch?) sign in the top right hand corner for our Welcome wall :)

This weekend has been wonderful.  It was exactly what I needed :)

I hope all of you have had a weekend full of happiness as well.
