Little Maven Clothing


Tori Spelling’s clothing line, Little Maven is so cute…AND they are having a great sale! Past collections are marked down up to 70%! I scored some great clothes for my daughter. I tried not to go overboard because I had never seen the clothes in person. Now that my first shipment has arrived and I can see that they are nice quality, I might be putting through another order.

I bought the dress above and think it will be a cute Easter dress for my little girl. I also purchased the following items and I am very pleased with all of them:


Last week, I was able to get all of this for $130 (originally priced at over $430!). This week, use the coupon code Tall30 and you can get up to 30% off of regular priced merchandise and free shipping (depending on how much you spend). This doesn’t apply to sale merchandise, but the markdowns are large enough to make it worth it!

Book Review: I Don’t Want a Posh Dog

Posh Dog
I Don’t Want a Posh Dog! by Emma Dodd


We picked this book up from the library the other day and have been reading it every day (at least once) since. My daughter (16 months) loves the pictures of the different types of dogs. One of them even looks just like our miniature pinscher. Definitely one worth adding to your collection, especially if your toddler likes dogs!

It can be purchased from amazon.com for just under $11.
