In a Perfect World...

This is what I'd love to dress Eva in on her first day of school:

The headband is huge because it's the only pic I could find in the color I loved for this outfit.

Any takers on how much this outfit costs? If I had something to giveaway I totally would for the closest bidder..but alas, I have nothing to giveaway. I will give you one hint, all these clothes/accessories are from the same place. Take some guesses and I'll give you the total tomorrow.

But of course, that's what I would pick out for Eva, more than likely she'll end up wanting to wear something more like this:

Did your retinas just burn a little? Yeah, mine too.

We're Breeding Hippies

After Elle was born I thought I waited too long to have a second kid- everyone else has kids around 2 years apart, these girls are almost 3.5 years apart. I started to think that maybe they'll never really bond or play together...which honestly was like 80% of the reason I wanted a second kid in the first place (hence the little cartoon on the side...I'm not joking).

Fast forward to the present...bffs. They are the perfect amount apart, they have their own friends (yes Elle is old enough to have her own friends...weird, I know) but they also love to play one on one. They have the perfect amount of sibling rivalry along with hugs, kisses and laughter.
