Mommy & Me Shoes

To say that Sienna and I have a pair of matching shoes is definitely an understatement. We actually have three pairs and are on our way to number four! 

YES…I am that mom. 

And I love every minute of it!

The hard part about having matching shoes with your toddler is that their feet grow so fast! She is already on her second pair of gold Saltwater Sandals and her leopard flats are about to be one size too small. Mommy is in need of some new ones so maybe we will switch it up to a loafer style next!

Can you believe that she actually received her little purple Hunter boots before me? So I made sure Santa brought me mine a few weeks later ;) These will also have to be replaced when she outgrows them because let's be honest, who doesn't love splashing in muddy puddles?

And now I've started my Yosi Samra obsession! They are the cutest and comfiest ballet flats I've ever had. And guess what?? Yep, you guessed it: they have a fabulous little girl selection! 

Love my little mini-me :)

Beachin' It With Toddlers

As you saw here, I have been dreaming about the beach a lot lately. We are in the middle of August and quite frankly I can't take the heat! Fortunately, we still have a few months of beach weather here in Florida!
Danny and I love taking les deux to the beach! It really can be a lot of work, but we have to turn these kids into beach bums just like their parents ;-) So I decided to share a few of our favorite must-haves for a day at the beach with toddlers!

(Clockwise from the top)

Melissa & Doug Sand Baking Set // Fedora // Foldable Wagon // California Baby Sunscreen //
 Bonlook Kids Sunglasses // Hayden Reis Seashell Pouch // Salt Water Sandals

Even if we go to the beach for a day we manage to have oodles of things with us so our collapsible wagon is a must! It fits everything and even a kid or two...With this extreme heat I always make sure to keep them covered with lots of sunscreen, a hat and sunglasses. How cute are the Bonlook sunglasses with full UVA & UVB protection?

Beach Toys are a must as well... The beach is like a big playground with plenty of sand and water for them to keep occupied for hours. I absolutely adore this Melissa & Doug Sand Baking Set! And for the shell collectors out there, these mesh Hayden Reis seashell bags are perfect! And needless to say, we are huge Salt Water Sandals fans in this house!

Virginia Is For Lovers

For our first trip with les deux we headed up to Virginia for our best friend, Lindsay's, wedding. We decided to go ahead and make a vacation out of it so we stayed in Washington D.C. for two nights after. The last time Danny & I had visited Virginia was for our grade school D.C. trips so we had no idea what kinds of things we could do with the kids. After some recommendations and research I found a child friendly winery that we decided to visit. 
 
Thursday night we flew in so we would have all of Friday to do things. We went out to visit the Barrel Oak Winery and it was just amazing. I had no idea there was such beautiful scenery in Virginia...and great wine as well!
 






 ^^^If you know our family,
you know it's only fitting that there is a VW in the background :)
 
 
On Saturday, we had the wedding in the evening at another winery, The Farms at Hamilton Station Vineyards. Once again Virginia did not fail to please. The backdrop of the wedding ceremony was just breathtaking and made for such a beautiful moment.
 




The kids were a little rowdy so they had to watch the ceremony from afar.



The cocktail hour and reception were inside the rustic barn, but we spent most of the cocktail hour venturing the grounds with kiddos.





These kids could play with gravel all day if I let them...



After dinner Danny and the kiddos were chasing lighting bugs? or fireflies? Not sure what they are called, but we don't have these neat little things in Florida!


and we danced the night away...


 
Virginia was a wonderful time and we can't wait to go back!

Wearing Your Popsicle



Today we gave the phrase 'wearing your popsicle' a whole new meaning...Usually with a one and two year old you can bet that when they are done eating their popsicle, they are wearing it, but today we did things a little differently...

Since it's All Things Popsicle Week I thought we'd break out the latest popsicle threads for the littles. Sienna is going through her 'I don't want anything in my hair' phase, but Daniel was a good sport and rocked the popsicle bow tie we made. While browsing through H&M the other day we found an adorable popsicle and ice cream dress! It will be the perfect summer dress to wear to any outing in this Florida heat. 





Stay tuned tomorrow because we have some frozen treats to share as All Things Popsicle Week comes to an end...

Sienna's dress is from H&M and she is wearing Salt Water Sandals in gold.
Daniel's shoes and shorts with suspenders are from H&M and his Gingham button-down is from Gap Kids.

Daniel's First Birthday Mustache Bash!

Last month we celebrated Daniel's first birthday! To celebrate we threw a little man, mustache bash at a local waterfront park!! 


Of course I went over the top with my dessert table...We had cake, cupcakes, s'more pops (which by the way are the most amazing thing that has every crossed my mouth), and we couldn't forget the little man cigars...



Yes...they are chocolate covered pretzel rods in these fabulous cigar boxes
 my mother-in-law found for me :)


Here is my little man in his outfit :)


and my little lady in her romper...


We even Macgyvered a photo booth in the shelter...


Thanks to Aunt Kelly & Shane and the rest of the fam, everything was executed wonderfully!





This is my favorite picture of Sienna helping Daniel blow out his candle...



He was not a big fan of his smash cupcake...


Here are some fun shots my bestie's dad, Felix, took of me, my besties, and their babies...




And of course we had to attempt a family shot in our photo booth...


 ha! That's as good as it gets :)


Cake was from the lovely Michelle & printables were from Sour Punch Studio
