Happy 5th Birthday Littlest Diva

2012-05-24T09:05:00.002-04:00

5 years ago today this amazing little girl came into our lives!

She is so full of laughter, adventure & mischief.

This Lil Diva definitely keeps us on our toes at all times

but we wouldn't have it any other way.

May she always have the same sparkle & zest for life that she has today.

She keeps us laughing with her silly jokes and funny faces,

always a performer - may she always shine bright.

She makes us proud with her determination and "I can do it" attitude,

may nothing or anyone ever stand in her way!

Most importantly, she fills our hearts with love

with her constant cuddles, hugs & kisses,

may she always know how much we love her

and how proud we are to have her as our daughter.

Happy 5th Birthday My Lil Super Diva!

I Love You!

Wordless Wednesday - Sun, Surf, Shells & the Sandy Shores of Sanibel

2012-05-23T07:00:00.000-04:00

This past weekend I went to Sanibel, FL.

It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

I experienced gorgeous sunrises,

and breathtaking sunsets.

I took a boat ride to Captiva,

saw dolphins and manatees swimming all around me,

and had the best shelling experience ever!

I can't wait to go back!

The Children's Place - Girl's Summer Wear Review

2012-05-22T07:00:00.000-04:00

By now you know that I am addicted to shopping at The Children's Place.

Their clothes are adorable, affordable and great quality!

We were recently given the opportunity to shop at The Children's Place

to review their summer line while tweeting our experience during the shopping event & share our thoughts with our followers here on the blog.

I loved all the fab dresses, flip flops, sandals and swim wear -

so many bright colors and fun designs that were perfect for the Lil Divas.

Here's what I bought (I was given a gift card to shop during the event):

I loved these tiered ruffled tie dye dresses

& the floral headband was a bug hit &

goes with so many different outfits -

This color block dress is perfect for summer -

Denim shorts are always a must have but the purple flower belt paired with the floral top made this my fave outfit from this shopping trip -

Did you know that TCP swimsuits are UPF 50+ and treated for extra UV protection? I am loving that extra protection and the designs were so fun. My favorites were the Paisley Tankinis -

Paired with fun flip flops (which I loved, especially the mismatched ones!) & matching sunglasses the Lil Divas are ready for the beach, pool and water park this summer!

I will definitely be picking up more fun & protective swimwear.

Right now there is a swim shop sale going on with $10 swimwear.

Don't miss it!

I LOVE the fab sales that TCP offers so often,

it makes shopping so much more affordable.

Have you shopped TCP lately?

What items and/or deals have you scored?
