Baby girls and ballerinas... The two go hand-in-hand. Pretty pink tutus and ruffly ribbons and beautiful bows. When I first had my little lady, I couldn't help but picture her wearing an itty-bitty leotard and tights—even as a helpless, needy newborn! I dressed her floppy body in ...read more

October kicks off my favorite season... Nope, I'm not talking about fall. Although, like most 30-something-year old women I know, I do love me some foliage and the occasional pumpkin spice latté. Nevertheless, I'm referring to "holiday pajama season." Yep, in my book, it's a ...read more
