hat-astic

Madeleine was a little baldy as a baby and toddler so I was always on the lookout for unique and fancy hats for her sweet little head. She soon become known in the neighborhood as "the hat girl". She loved all the gasps of ohhh's and ahh's as she sported a new bonnet or floppy design. If I had only known about Goorin!! This fab vintage daisy design will definitely have her strutting into first grade in style!

kookie goes bananas for monkeybar buddies!

We are going bananas for monkeybar buddies! We pair these under our kookie skirts + dresses so that our girls can twirl and hang from the playground without any underwear shots!. There will be no more "I see Paris, I see France, I see Maddy and Kylie's underpants" with these fun undershorts! One of our favorite combos is the lavender shorts with our doubles anyone dress in ice dance floor (see above right). The only issue is that my Maddy loves them so much, she cannot stop showing them off. In the midst of our Easter dinner, she stands up on her chair pulls up her beautiful Easter skirt and shakes her cute little monkey butt for all and sundry to see. After everyone had stop laughing or choking on their turkey, her Uncle Mickey told her to stop taking after her mother!
