Holiday Toys

So my mind has been on toys lately with Lilly’s birthday earlier this week, Fletcher’s birthday coming up in 2 weeks, and Christmas right around the corner. I have a few years under my belt now as a mom (5!), and it’s easier for me now to predict what my kids would really enjoy and what would only keep their attention for a few minutes. For instance, Lilly spends a lot of time every day working on art projects. Her favorite materials include crayons, markers, and tape. Yes, tape. You know, the fun washi kind that we like, too! She puts it on many of the pictures that she draws and then hangs her artwork with it all over our home. She uses it as bandages on her dolls. She even makes jewelry with it. So with that in mind I know that this Tape Caddy (60 rolls!) or this Tape Party Kit would be a smart gift choice. I found them both in Nordstrom’s Toy Shop. They’ve put together a kid oriented collection of toys that has anything from Frozen items to riders. There are 10 pages worth of ideas over there. Here are a few of my favorites.

poodle jellycat, karaoke machine, night vision play set,

vw van play tent, metallic fashion tattoos, air power soccer disk,

acoustic guitar, craft tape caddy, baby grand piano

We gave one of those air powered soccer disks to my little brother a year or so ago and they’re really cool! And that night vision set… I kind of want that for myself. I’m intrigued. We have jellycat dolls at our house and they are so soft. A good idea for any stuffed animal lover. Also, I’ve seen a lot of ugly karaoke machines in my day (and I was an AVID Singing Machine girl growing up), but this one is worthy of the prettiest playroom.

More ideas…

Kate Spade & Jack Spade + Gap Collaboration

IT’S HERE!! Seems like forever ago we were hearing whispers about a rumored Kate Spade & Jack Spade + Gap collaboration. I stalked websites, I googled… anything to get a peek. And as of today the collection is now available. As expected, it’s pretty adorable!

The whole collection is totally wearable and fun. So much so that Lilly insisted upon wearing this dress to school the next day. I didn’t argue.

Soooo… Fletcher’s hair. He cut it. CHOPPED it. Himself. The night before our family shoot. You can imagine my angst. I know, I know. It’s just hair and it grows back. No biggie. But it still broke my heart a little.

Can’t you just hear him saying “oh Mom”?!

On Lilly: bow dress, bow flats, satchel, dot tights, ear muffs, mittens

On Fletcher: sweater cardigan, googly eyes sneakers, santa hat

On Josh: oxford shirt, herringbone blazer, jeans

On Me: bow top, black booties

These things that Lilly and Fletcher are wearing are just a few of the cute pieces from the collection. There are so many adorable things like this coat for boys, and this coat for girls. And this fun shirt for boys and this skirt!! The collection launches this morning! Shop it all right here.

Lilly Likes: Leopard

Oh hey, Lilly. What’s up?

My little school days girl. Do you SEE those little fox face flats from Old Navy on Lilly’s feet?! They’re her current favorite (Lilly has a lot of favorites…).

And that perfectly sized back pack she’s wearing is from my friend’s company, Babiators. Have you heard of them? My kids wear their sunglasses all the time. Now they make back packs! Perfectly sized back packs!! YES!

So Lilly is really a leggings kind of girl. Nearly every day she picks them out. Even under dresses. I can’t blame her, they are super soft. So I love this simple Old Navy chambray tunic because it pairs perfectly with leggings and jeans.

That little Old Navy leopard sweater is cuteness tied around her shoulders! And oh hey happy 20th birthday to Old Navy! You probably want to go check out their celebration sale.

Okay, I realize that it’s impossible to only buy pretty wooden and neutral colored toys for kids. I mean, that would be boring. But when I can get away with it I like to sneak them in! OKL just launched a gorgeous sale collection of some cool toys that are NOT hard on the eyes!

driver golf cart, wooden family, glowing teepee, vintage kitchen

peter rabbit library, pitch tent, workbench

Good time to start your holiday shopping early with these fun toys that are on sale! Check out all the cool things they have here. How fun would that glowing teepee be?!

Perri Poppins: DIY Halloween Kids Costumes

I’m so excited to share the first installment of “Holidays with Perri Poppins”. Perri Stilp is Charleston’s favorite kid’s camp counselor and creative genius. My children adore her. She has a location right on Pitt Street in the Old Village, a charming and historic neighborhood that is one of Charleston’s most prized hidden gems (Oh hey The Notebook was filmed there). Perri spends her days activating the imaginations of children and having fun. So she was a no brainer to tap for halloween diy costume ideas. I let her take control of this project, so I’ll turn it over to Perri.

OWL:

This handmade owl costume is simple and cozy, letting even your little ones take part in the Halloween fun.

Materials needed: felt, brown long sleeve shirt and pants, old glasses, boas, feathers.

For the body:
Step 1: Use a hot glue gun to attach the boas. Start gluing on the back and bring them up and over to the front.

Owl Glasses:
Step 1: Using an old pair of glasses, take out the lens.
Step 2: Decorate the sides with feathers.

CARMEN MIRANDA:

This Carmen Miranda costume idea comes from Oh Happy Day and is really easy to make from items you can find at a thrift store. I made the headdress using plastic fruit that I hot glued directly to the red turban.

For the headdress:
Step 1: Use a hot glue gun to attach the larger pieces of plastic fruit to the turban in the shape of a tower. Let dry.
Step 2: If you’d like your headdress to be a little more eclectic, use hot glue to top the fruit tower with food picks, drink umbrellas, plastic fruit candy, & fake flowers.

Materials needed: peasant blouse, tropical pants, turban, fruit candy necklace.

To see Oh Happy Day’s version please click here.

DRUMMER BOY:

This drummer boy costume is an easy one to put together last minute.

Materials needed: white t-shirt, leggings, tall hat, old buttons, and toy drum.

THE SNAIL:

For this snail costume, modeled off of Oh Happy Day’s Homemade Halloween guide, you will need kraft paper to make the shell. Your little one will wear it like a backpack. Very simple to make, just don’t leave a trail of slime on the stroll around the neighborhood for candy.

Materials needed: kraft paper, cardboard, ribbon, headband, pom poms, pipe cleaners.

For the shell:
Step 1: Crumple and wrinkle up the kraft paper.
Step 2: Begin rolling then start to twist it into a shell shape.
Step 3. Glue it all together.
Step 4. Repeat all the above steps (will need 2 shells).
Step 5. Glue both together and mount to cardboard.

Darling, yes? I love that simple snail costume! Thank you so much to Perri for putting these fun ideas together for us. Check out her site (or her instagram) for more creative kid cuteness!

Lilly Likes: Swing Skirts

Lilly’s easing into fall with some new Old Navy things. Little steps. I think I’ll love this sweater best with skinny jeans, but Lilly prefers it paired with the black circle skirt. Both cute.
