Tommy Hilfiger Haul!

So yeah, we kind of dig this clothing brand. It's just one of those brands that suits our lifestyle really, really well. It's casual, the materials are low maintenance and the quality is very decent. And since we're just not uber trendy folk that like to spend our entire weekend going through a gazillion different washing instructions, this is a really good match for us. Oh, and since I'm a major outlet junkie, I  can get their clothing for a pretty reasonable price. That's not unimportant either! So let me show you the items I picked up!

For myself I got this oversized summer parka in the color rosé. Well, I think it's supposed to be oversized. All I know is that I got it in my regular size and it runs really, really large. I really fell in love with the color, so I just knew I wasn't going to leave the store without it. Wearing something oversized is something I will have to get used to though. But I do think it's very comfortable!

Charlotte is always the big winner when it comes to shopping. All those tiny shirts and pants are just too adorable. If you have a little girl yourself, I'm sure you'll understand! She got a navy tregging, a pink longsleeved t-shirt with print, an indigo blue cardigan and a light pink polka dotted polo shirt with a ruffled colar. I am completely in love with this one! I can't wait for summer to arrive! This polo is going to look so cute on some light denim skirt and some a 3/4 leggings.

And daddy got this simple green polo shirt. He has a lot of polo shirts, but he didn't own a green one yet. So to mix it up I went for a color he wouldn't normally pick himself. The color looks good on him though! It's also a very casual looking polo. The cotton has a bit of a worn look to it. Perfect for when he's doing chores around the house or when he's roughhousing with the tiny one.

So there you have it! My latest haul! What is your favorite brand to shop for?

Cute Finger Paint DIY for Valentine's Day!

Valentine's day is only a little bit more than a week away! And if you have a little girl like me, you know that daddy is her big crush on this day as well! So I wanted to make this day something for our entire family, not just something for me and her daddy. So I asked my two year old if she wanted to make something especially for her daddy, and she gave me a really big excited YES! I think this makes a really cute self made gift and it's actually a really fun and easy activity to do for you and your little munchkin. So, win-win right?

This is all you need to get started! You need two sheets of paper (one with a heart on it, google is your bestie for this!), two colors of finger paint, two plastic cups, a pair of scissors, a bow, baby wipes, a bib with sleeves and some old newspapers. Oh, and you need a baby or toddler (not shown in picture)! 

Cut out the heart and place this sheet of paper on top of the other one. Make sure the heart is on the right side of the paper. When you fold the paper into a card, the heart will be on the front. You can use a bit of tape to secure it all, but if the paper is thick enough and you're around to hold it in place a little, you'll be fine. Besides, this is a card made by a toddler so it doesn't have to be a 100% perfect. Personally I actually prefer a little smudge here and there.

When everything's in place put the paint in the plastic cups and let your little one paint it's little heart out! Smudging a little paint on each other's faces is totally allowed during this process! :)

When you're finished it should look something like this. Let it dry for a little bit and then remove the upper sheet of paper.

And last but not least, fold this little piece of artwork in a card, leave a cute note for daddy on the inside and tie the ribbon around it. Voila! I'm sure every daddy would love the get a valentine's card like this from his little princess!
