A Few of Our Favorite Toys...

I love shopping for my girls. In fact, a majority of the time I do any shopping it is for Isabella and Madelyn. Besides clothes shopping, I love shopping for toys. I especially love toys that I can remember from my childhood--and the fact that the girls love them, too, is an added bonus!

 First up is the Little Tikes Endless Adventures Easy Store Picnic Table. I've been wanting a table for outside--and one that could be moved indoors as well. It's just too hot down here right now for much outside play, so if I could bring the outside in, that would be awesome. This table is excellent! Super easy to put together and both girls love it.

They eat snacks on it, Isabella will color, or they will just play nicely with one another. They love having their own special table that is for them and them only. Although sometimes Isabella wants me to go and and sit with her--and lets face it, I definitely will not fit!

Our second favorite toy right now is the Melissa and Doug Lace & Trace Pets. I remember doing activities like this when I was younger and loved them! Isabella had fun trying to do these in the car during our long trip to Texas a couple of weeks ago. These are great for the car, doctor's office or anywhere that you want your little one to be occupied!

And last, but certainly not least, we have the Melissa and Doug Pound-a-Peg toy. Again, I had something similar to this one when I was a little girl--I loved it! Both Madelyn and Isabella love this toy. It keeps them occupied for quite awhile and I love having them both playing together. Definitely a great toy for any little one!

I just wanted to share a few of my favorite toys that we have right now--and these are great for girls and boys! What are some of your favorite toys that your little one(s) play with right now? I'm already starting to get my Christmas list in order and am in need of some ideas!

Thank you to CSN Stores for offering the above products to review! No other compensation was given and all opinions expressed above are my own.

Movin' On Up...

With Madelyn's first birthday rapidly approaching I am starting to get more excited about her transition into a big girl bed in the future. Isabella and Madelyn will be sharing a room--and the bed situation possibilities are endless!

I have considered getting a twin mattress for each of them and then search for the perfect pair of headboards. Their room is a green color with pinks, blues, and so many other colors--fun, bright and just a great room for my two little munchkins.

I fell in love with this one:

I love the white furniture look and I could even see myself distressing it a little for a more shabby chic feel.

No matter what we decide on I cannot wait to transition the girls into their new beds--although it is a little insane how quickly time is going by...

This post is made possible from CSN stores. Stay tuned to an exciting review coming soon!

Little Tikes Sand & Water Fun Factory Table {Giveaway!}

Growing up I {almost} always shared a bedroom with my sister. I loved it {most of the time...} and I remember us talking late at night, giggling about silly things and just supporting one another if we were in trouble yet again. Having two girls of my own I know that they will share a bedroom once Madelyn gets old enough to be out of her crib.

Lately Leo and I have been talking about where we will purchase their beds from. There are so many places that sell kids beds, but with so many places out there that sell children furniture, where can we buy online--at a better price--and still get high quality?

For me that answer is simple. I know that when we are ready we will be searching until we find our match from AllChildrensFurniture.com--this site has it all. From bedding, furniture, toys, decor--their site has it all and it's all at a great price! With them I know that I'll be getting the best and at a price that we'll be able to afford.
