Oh it's on!

This book was and still is one of my favorites. I loved the idea of food falling over the town of Chewandswallow, it's seriously about time this classic book was made into a movie.

I only hope Sony Pictures Animation brings justice to this utterly creative tale. With a 3D experience in the mix, I have my hopes up. Don't let the children down, dammit don't let me down.

Marshalls x Tax free weekend

So I woke up at the crack of dawn on a mission to find excellent used books at garage sales, this is starting to become a ritual of mine. However the ones I stopped at were total duds, and it dawned on me that it's tax free weekend. No wonder there isn't any kick ass garage sales happening. So I headed to the stores before the crowds became unbearable, and boy did I hit the jackpot.

At Marshalls (4440 N. Freeway) I found a pair of Michael Kors for $19.99 (reg. $38.00) and a bright pair of orange Adidas for $14.99

(reg. $30.00). The Adidas are destined to freshen up my daughters fashion regimen; not to mention perfect for Halloween. And to top the day off I did find the books I got up so early for. This location has several good titles, Don't sleep!

Target is holding it down

Target is notorious for having super cute clothing on the cheap. I just picked up these 3 fabulous items this morning. I was shocked I was able to find the size I needed because when there's something hot at Target it goes fast.

The Halloween shirts above go for $5.99 a piece, and the corduroy pink polka dot bubble skirt is amazingly only $11.99. If I where to walk into any modern child boutique store this skirt will easily be priced at $49.99. Lucky for me I walked into Target instead.

This is a must buy

I've had several friends who told me the most random/hilarious things their kids have said, and all I could do was laugh my freaking head off. I can't wait until my daughter cracks me up with her "isms." I would probably need to buy two journals because for sure I'm jotting down her wackiness every chance I get so that I have golden material to embarrass her with in the future. Oh and also for a cute keepsake. What kind of mom would I be if I didn't add that in there. The damage is $14.95 at Chronicle Books.

Fun for days with these chunky wooden puzzles

When I think of great educational puzzles the first name that pops in mind is Melissa & Doug. Why you ask? Well for starters, they are durable, well crafted, and finely hand painted. I truly enjoy the multitude of brightness each puzzle brings, I can't stand bland.

However, what I like best about the chunky wooden puzzles is that they're able to keep the attention of my 21 month old daughter. She doesn't even need my help in putting it together since they come with full color pictures behind each puzzle piece to guide her. Some times I even feel like I'm in the way. These puzzles go for $9.99 and you also get smiles for days with that price, that's a great value.

One of a slew of halloween shirts to come

Baby Gap is hitting it hard with righteous halloween tee's this season. I heart the Scare Crew graphic at front in lieu of scare crow on this tee, total cool kid fashion.

It's not easy being green

If my tot strutted around the house with this tee I would have to go the extra mile to reuse, reduce, and recycle. Momma can't be an enemy to the war on pollution, not with this hardcore message in my face.

This shirt totally captures the words of children perfectly. I can seriously hear any eco-friendly kid shouting "Don't be Trashy." And to add to the greenness it's made from 100% organic cotton, the cool graphic makes this shirt a win. Pick one up here.
