Little Presidents Spring Forward

We have had the nicest weather over the past few weeks. So, naturally, we are thinking about fun in the sun and beach and pool time! The Little Presidents (and mommy) are gearing up for Spring and Summer and here are a few of our favorite things that will be key in their wardrobes over the months ahead!

We love our fedoras in this house! I tried a few of them for Teddy last year and ended up with one from  Children's Place that worked best. When Reagan started requesting one a couple weeks ago(yes, she asked me for a "hat?" like Teddy's), I searched and again ended up at Children's Place. I bought this one for Teddy(he can always use a second hat) and this one for Reagan. She has become obsessed with it and wears it all the time! So cute! Love how much they both love hats!

Next up are Mini Boden Jersey Baggies. To me, these are the ideal pair of shorts for a little guy on the go. Teddy has had them every spring/summer and we love them! They last forever and we usually get a TON of wear out of them. Mini Boden is such great quality stuff. This is my favorite pair we own~pictured below. Love the navy and white stripes.

I am a HUGE fan of these jersey skorts for my little lady now that she can wear the girls sizes. Love a good skort! We always add bloomers under skirts and dresses but this is so easy! Reagan loves to wear skirts and this is the best of both worlds. Comfy, adorable and practical! We bought them in a few colors! :)

 Next up is crewcuts tees. I love to collect t-shirts for Teddy. They are just so fun and have the cutest sayings. They pair perfectly with the jersey baggies. This is a fav of ours right now~pictured below. This "Heart Breaker" tee is one we have had from crewcuts for the past few years in different size and color! Love the saying! :)

I am HUGE fan of Peek clothing. I started buying their stuff for Teddy when he was a baby and just love them! There shirts are so soft and again, I love all the sayings. While I was at our mall a week ago, I saw that a Peek store is coming soon. So very exciting! They had closed to other two stores that I had typically shopped at, so I have had to shop online for the most the past year or so! Nordstrom carries a few of their items, like they do with Mini Boden, but it's not the same. I prefer shopping in the actual store or on the website, just like with MB! We always love their presidential tees. We need a Reagan one, Peek peeps! 

We love Native Shoes! These are both kids shoes of the summer when we do the beach or pool. I love the "Howard" because it looks like a topsider. Seriously too cute! Teddy always does the neon yellowish and Reagan does the pink! They are easy to slip on and off! Perfect! The Easter bunny might be bringing this year's sizes in their baskets... :)

We love the Toms Mary Janes for Reagan. They have been a staple since she started walking. The regular Toms kept slipping off her feet. These are perfect for her. Teddy recently tried the classic Toms again (They used to slip off his feet too!) and he is loving them and they are easy for him to slip on. I really love the whole idea behind the Toms company. They do glasses now too! Really such a great company. 

Those are just a few of our key items that we are loving right now! I have too much fun outfitting the Little Presidents! What are your fav spring/summer items for your kiddos? I think my list could go on forever! So hard to just pick a few!

February Fab Finds

Hey there! Happy Wednesday! I have a couple items that I just have to share with you today! A few are life changers for sure...just like The Wet Brush that I told you about in my January favorite things post. I hope some of you have tried it since then! I just bought my 4th last Friday. I have them all over the house! Seriously LOVE that brush! My poor, knotted hair loves it as well! 

First up is Fresh's (shocker!!!! ha!) Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream with Super 7 Complex! I am in love! This stuff is seriously awesome. My face feels so soft and amazing...especially right after I apply it! I am still using the Black Tea Age-Delay Eye Cream and am still loving that as well! 

I have a new favorite color of the Sugar lip treatments per the recommendation from one of my Insta-buddies! The Passion color is seriously the perfect shade of reddish pink! I love it! I have been wearing the Rose color for years now! The Passion is so fun when you want more color than the Rose!!! I sent my sister the Coral color in a care package and she loves it, so that might be my next color to try! :)

Next up is Hesperides perfume! :) It's so fresh and clean smelling. I just love it. I have been wearing J'adore forever and I still do, but this is a nice change for certain days and reminds me of spring and summer with the grapefruit scent happening. 

Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara in Extreme Black! I love this stuff! I used to use Dior Show like it was going out of style, but when I was prego with Reagan, my lashes started to fall out.It had to be a hormone thing, but clearly, I had to try something new on my barely there eyelashes just in case. I have tried a few things since then! I used Almay Get Up & Grow Mascara for awhile before the Clinque and loved it as well! It is very budget-friendly and you get a similar look to Dior Show or Clinque's versions. 

Next up is this peplum top from Anthropologie! I love it! I am a huge fan of the peplum look, but I think there is a certain poofiness that doesn't look good on anyone! I tried one on the other day and it was sooooooo unflattering. This black lace peplum is seriously the perfect amount of poof...not too much. This is one of those key pieces that you can really piece with anything-skirts, pants, shorts! Picture quality is not great...iPhone pic! :)

Next up is this fab pink lipstick from Sephora. Bright pink lipstick is my trademark. I have worn bright pink lipstick since I first started wearing lipstick! I love it! I wore the same Chanel color for years until they discontinued it, then I moved onto to another of their colors and they discontinued that as well! So tragic! Ha! Now, I am always on the lookout for new fun pinks. This color was a random purchase because I loved the color and the name, "just dating." :) If you are looking for a bright pink that's not too bright, this is perfect for you! 

I LOVE these mini sparkle purses from Crewcuts! They are the perfect size to take out on a date night or a girls night! They fit an iPhone, lipstick/lipgloss, mini Purell(of course!), credit cards and an ID! Seriously the perfect mini bag! You can use it as a clutch if you tuck the string in. You can wear it cross-bosy or on one shoulder! Perfect! I was wishing I had this when we were in Vegas this fall! It will be perfect for a trip like that too! I have a gold glitter purse and a navy glitter purse that are not available anymore(I think I bought in December?) but I am loving the new mint and silver color that are on the website now! They are definitely going on my wish list!

Next up is Jesus Calling. This is a daily devotional that was recommended to me by a dear friend. It is amazing. I read it every morning when I wake up, before I get out of bed. It is a really amazing way to start my crazy days!  There are certain days where I feel like the book was made just for me and what I am going through in my life. It's really great! I plan on buying a couple to send to a few people as little gifts. :)

I have been waiting patiently for Anthropologie to come out with a wiener dog print in one of these Rendition Tees and they finally did!!! Love it! The weenie on the shirt that looks like our pups is even wearing a necklace! So fun! These tees run small in my opinion. While, I typically wear a small or extra small top, I do a medium in this brand/style! If you love wiener pups, you can't miss out on this tee!

Last on my list for this week is this fabulous neon pink Kate Spade ring! I am in love with it! I love big, fun statement jewelry pieces! This was the most perfect Valentine's gift for moi! :) It is a perfect addition to a fab arm party!

That's just a few of my favorite things! Hope your week is going great! The good news it that it's Wednesday! Just a couple more days and the weekend will be here! I have been under the weather this week, I think the funk that has been going through my house finally took me down! Hoping I am feeling better in a day or two! Hope you are all healthy and happy!
