Nursery Bedding

As you know I have two girls but non of them had an "official" nursery bedding:) With having our own house it is more fun to decorate their room. So I decided to look for a nice girly looking quilt and sheet for Anastasia's crib.
I really like this Daisy Garden Nursery bedding from Pottery Barn, but it is so expensive!!! Only quilt costs 79 dollars!
Than I find out that baby Gap opened a new home department and there I liked Miss Ladybug's Garden bedding set. But it was not cheap - 249.00 and I do not need all set anyway.

Finally we went to the big city and at the Burlington Coat Factory in baby depot I found this cute Flutter Flowers bedding from "Just Born " for 49 dollars. I use only qult and sheet as you can not put skirt on our crib and there is no need for the bumber for one year old baby (anyway I can use it later ).

Melissa and Doug Toys

I do like "Melissa and Doug" toys. All toys that we have were given to Emma or Anastasia as a gift, but even if I'll have to buy it they worth every penny.
Wooden Shape Sorting Clock - this is what I want for Emma:) Two toys in one! Combines shape sorting and learning to tell time. It also has colors. Emma started to ask us "What time is it?" so I think it will be a great toy to play with her.
Pizza Party - Anastasia got this set for her birthday but she didn't get to play it first as Emma and other kids took over :) They love to cut and serve pizza. Emma plays it now with Stacia and feeds her.
Sandwich Making Set - Emma's favorite. It was given to her on her birthday and she plays it ever sinse. She likes to ask what would I like and we pretend eating sandwiches with her.
Fish Colors Mix'n Match Peg - This puzzle was given Emma on her second birthday and she learned how to match colors very fast. She still plays it just for fun and I think it is Anastasia's turn to learn. I highly recommend this for your toddler to learn colors:)
Magnetic Bug Catching Game - It was also given to Emma on her last birthday and she likes to play it when I ask her to catch this or that bug. I like to do it in Russian and she prefers English:)

Organizing girls closet

With moving in to our new House and putting girls in the same room I had to make several decisions about organizing their stuff. So I found this canvas utility totes at "Bed, Bath and Beyond" and I really like them! I just feel bad that we got only two of them. Next time we will go to the big city I will get more of those and not only for the girls:)
I like their clear pockets where I can put a name, so I can see whose tote I am going to get. I keep little things in them such as Underwear, socks, tights and tanks for Emma and onesies, socks, tights for Anastasia

I divided the closet on two sections: on one side everything is for Anastasia and on the other for Emma

This cute tags I made using a Creative Memories ABC stickers and other stickers too:)

If you have any tips about organising stuff for your kids please tell me as I am trying to think about other ways as well

Easter Sunday

I think little argyle vests are the cutest for toddler boys! They help cover up the wrinkled shirt that boys can never keep tucked in, they look stylish, they're comfortable, and they add a bit of pizzaz to an otherwise dull outfit.

Emma's first Hanna Andersson outfit

I do not know if I got hooked yet on this brand, because it is very pricey for us, but I decided to try and get Emma an outfit from Hanna Andersson on sale. A laddie in my church likes Hannas a lot and she says that her girls favorite dresses are from Hanna and their tights are the best ever.
I looked online and I really liked this shirt and skirt
I also decided to add this legwarmers to complete the look
So here you see Emma trying on her new outfit.
They are European sizes and they should fit her for more than one year. As I payed for it 40 dollars I also kept Anastasia in mind as she can wear it as well. I've heard that this clothing have a long life. I personally like this outfit - it is great for Alaskan summers and it is so bright and playful. Next time I will try to get some tights on sale:)

First post

Here is a start of the blog about some things that I like for my kids:) I hope to run it with the help of other mommies and see what they think about theirs best choices for their kids. I also hope that we just going to have some fun doing it:)
