Because I Said So!!! Mom Knows Best!

Rowan is a Princess. Rowan is an Fairy!
Rowan is a Arabian Queen! Rowan is the Belle of the
Ball ! Rowan is a Bride and Boo is The Flower Girl!

Rowan is already so many things and well on her way
to having one of the largest imaginations I have ever
seen in a child. For a little girl who is just learning how
to stand and get around she is already head over heels
in love with Dancing and her version of signing. Goes
something like,
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Bounce, Bounce, Smile!
"Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Now I am not sure what song she is singing but I am sure
it is a hit somewhere. She sure thinks so. Another thing she
is really into right now is being apart of the big people world.
What I have she needs. My phone, my coat, my shoes, my
hairbrush and laptop. Whatever I have my hands on she has
to have her hands on. She is not unique in that department for
all children want to be a big person. All children pretend they
are all grown and all children spend a large part of their early
years pretending they are someone else. Not only do they all
do it, the act of pretending is healthy and allows them to figure
out who they are themselves. When they spend so much time
being "other people" they learn so much about their own likes
and dislikes and dreams and fantasy's and it is about one of
the best creative outlets in their arsenal. Plus, come on guys,
what person doesn't go, "AWWWWW, that is so cute!," when
they see a little toddler waddling around in Mommy's shoes?
Rowan will sit with me for hours right now taking off and
putting on hats just so she can hear me tell her over and over
again how cute Baby looks. I know I have told you guys
how my goal is to get a whole collection of pretend toys
and outfits for Rowan to play dress up and I plan on feeding
her imagination as often as I can. I also know I have told
you guys how hard it has been for me to find items for her
to dress up in. Okay, let me rephrase that for I can find
items everywhere, even the dollar store, but finding Quality items
that were made for repeated use is the struggle. I must have
been to a zillion, okay, zillion and one, stores that carry dress
up items and until now have only found one I have wanted to
go back too. Kids Toy stores and chains have a couple of items
here and there but most of the time it is the same revisited
Princess outfit over and over again with maybe a different color
Ti-era tossed in for good measure. Now that isn't a selection.
That is the same dress in five different colors. Not going to
cut it for me and will not even come close to cutting it for
Rowan. The Costume store I found was great, I really like
them but I still would like a larger selection of Toddler items
and would also like better access to the accessories that go
with it. I want the full fantasy.


Eureka, I think I have found Gold in these here hills!


Everything Princess has everything you would need to make
your little charmer look and feel like a well, Princess. They don't
just have a couple of items to help your child slip into a fantasy
world, they ARE a fantasy world. You guys remember how I told
you when we move I want to have a dress up area for Rowan
and build a little Wardrobe and Vanity area for Rowan to make
it look official? Hey, I don't have to do that for these guys all
ready have it built and they even offer a selection so I am not
limited to one choice.

Everything Princess sent a Rapunzel Gown for Rowan to
review. I sort of found that a hoot in itself for Rowan was born
completely bald and is only now starting to grow some hair here
and there and it has been a running joke at our house and then
to do a costume dedicated to a character known for her long flowing
hair gave me a chuckle. Now Rowans hair will come in thick and full
before long and I am sure you guys will here me complaining about
a whole new line of complaints.
Gosh I can never get her to Brush her hair!
I didn't know tangles could get that big!
What was I thinking letting her have hair so long?
and many other things but for now pretending she is Rapunzel is
as close as she is going to get! The costume is only too cute and
I love the details such as the gathered Bodice and its Victorian feel.
Another thing I like about it is unlike other costumes I have seen
this one is comfortable to wear. Others I had seen at Halloween
and a few different pretend wear clothing outfitters I saw were ruff
to the touch and you knew by simply touching them they would be
uncomfortable to wear. Most of the ones I saw at the store left me
thinking what I would have that she could wear underneath for I
didn't want it scratching her skin. This one is a real dress and
feels soft and comfortable enough to wear all on its own.
And what did it look like on?
You be the judge but I think with a couple of braids she would
make the prettiest Rapunzel this side of the Castle! Everything
Princess has items for everyone and a not only a vast selection
of dress up gear for your little Princess but they also carry
items for every other part of her Royal day. You just can't find
so many items made for a Princess in one place anywhere else
and I have been looking for they also have a lot of Pink items
and Pink is Rowans signature color so I have been everywhere
on the prowl looking. Everything Princess is a Pink Mecca. They
just can't be beat. Not only did I find a place that meets all
my dress up needs they do so in a way that brings me the best
selection at the best prices and offer a quality that just can't be
found anymore. Make your Child feel like a Princess every moment
of the day for they also carry outdoor items like Ribbons and some
pretty darn awesome tools for a Sand Castle so the King will rush
home too! They have one of a kind items like the Royal Princess
Throne
( Um, yes it is what is sounds like!)
and the Lounge Chair is going to be under the tree for her this
next Christmas for it is too cute! From Bedtime to the Kitchen to
clothes for dress up, every day or play, Everything Princess brings
you the royal treatment but you only end up paying a paupers
price! That chair I want? Only $79.99. I was looking at a
Pink Bean Bag Chair elsewhere that costs more then that and
this is a chair! They even make shopping easy for you by
breaking it down by age or Princess. I feel like a wicked Step
Mother for not having found this place when Rachel was younger
for I am sure she is going to wish my a nasty Green wart when
she sees some of the loot Rowan ends up with! I started out
looking for something Pink for Rowan, found out she really was a
Princess and now we are living in a fairy tale, Everything Princess
makes any little girls Dreams come True!

Hey there, while you are here don't forget to enter
my Girls4Sport and Clip-Money.com Contests!

Did you want to be a Rock Star?Do you dance around the
house with the music blasting signing your favorite tunes?
Maybe the car is your stage and as soon as you are alone
in it you fly through the stations looking for a good song and
not stopping to you come across the "one" and then pray you
don't hit a red light and be seen signing into the steering
wheel. I know I am guilty of all of the above and when I was
a young girl there was nothing I wanted more then to be a rock
star. I took Guitar lessons for a long time but lost interest when
my teacher insisted I learn cords and not Stairway to Heaven
but there isn't a day that goes by where I don't wish I would
have stuck with it.
John on the other hand, is a natural. He can hear a song
then play it 20 minutes later and you are hard pressed to be able
to tell him from the radio. It must run in his family for his brother
plays the Drums and though he has to work a little harder it still
appears like it comes easy to the rest of us. My son has a guitar
but I am afraid like me, he wanted too much from it without putting
the work into it though he has not given up and still holds onto
his rock star dreams. With Rowan I am hoping she inherits her
fathers natural musical talent for I firmly believe an instrument of
some kind is a must have for kids. It teaches them not only discipline
but that hard work is rewarded. It also allows them to release their
own creativity. I write, John plays so who knows, maybe Rowan
could get a little of both and be the next great Pop star and
I could live out my own Rock Star fantasy's vicariously through
her.
Daisy Rock knows all about dreams of being a Rock Star
and they feed that spark until it is a roaring flame! From Children
to adults Daisy Rock has a large selection of Guitars to turn
your dreams of being a rock star into reality. Even better they
have accessory's and clothing to dress that star! On a whim I
was surfing the web one day and got to looking through their goods,
I was surprised to see they have just about everything a aspiring
musician could want, even just a Mom with lingering dreams!
I sent them a note and got a chance to review some of their active
wear and was blown away with their fast response was and the Hoodie
they sent me for review! It is something you can wear everyday
and still have that I am a rock star secrete without looking
like you robbed your teenage daughters closet! I found out their
clothing is super durable and oozes quality and put it through
the Michelle test and ZOOOOOOOOOOOMED on through and
Rocked the house! I have to say I love the Femininity of their
items and how they still scream I got TALENT baby! Even people
like me who can barely carry a tune still like to look the part
at times!
More then just shirts and hoodies Daisy rock also carries
Guitar accessory's and equipment and everything you need
to enjoy your rock star status in style. All of their items have
a distinct feminine feel and I was so pleased ( if you can't already
tell with my site colors) to see so much pink and shades of
Purple. Even the Amp is pink! Their guitars are out of this world
and I would love to get my hands on one to tell you the sound
but I did go visit a friend of mine at Joe's a local music store
and he said the quality is everything you would want it to be
and sent me to guitar center with John where they are an
authorized dealer. John plays Bass and I had to do a little arm
pulling there to have him try the Stardust in Public because
Mr Man has a little bit of an issue with a pink trimmed instrument
but he did it and was more then impressed. He thought because
they looked girly they would sound girly and could not believe
a pink Bass was a true contender!
Daisy Rock offers the foundations of a young girls dreams
and carries them through to they are all grown up. Daisy Rock
let's adults be a star or just play like one while letting them
keep a style all their own. I was so impressed with their line
I am thinking of getting a new Guitar and dusting off my dreams
and giving them another shot! Music and the Arts are such an
important part of the world and Daisy Rock is there to help it
blossom! Even better Daisy Rock wants to help you or your little
on grab their star with a $75.00 shopping spree of Daisy Rock
apparel from the on line store. To enter go to their web site and
take a look around them come back here and post a comment
letting me know what item would make you feel like a Rock Star!

Hey there, while you are here don't forget to enter
my Chuck The Yuck and No Throw Giveaways!

Pink Panties!



Why is it that women always have the everyday
undies and Va Va Voom, special occasion undies? I don't
know a single lady out there who has underwear she can use for
both things. Heaven forbid I get stuck in my everyday
undies when I should have worn the Va Va Voom for the
embarrassment you garner from that little experience is
enough to scar you for life. I crack up every time I watch
The Diary of Bridget Jones and she is caught in her
Grannies Panties for I have so been there! Every day
when we get dressed we have to make that choice;

Do I stay comfortable and wear my Grannies?

Is there a chance I might need my Va Va Vooms and
should I suffer the day with constant "digging" and "re-arranging,"
in case I end up needing them?

Should I play it safe and wear my super cute "I was not
expecting this!" undies that are sorta comfy and sorta sexy and
cost more then both of the others put together?

Ugh! It is enough to make a woman go mad. How come the
guys don't have to make that choice? And what island
can we ban the few who do think that a Leopard Skin thong
style undie looks good on a man?

Why can someone just make some undies that look good, feel
good and don't empty my wallet?

Oh, wait, that's right! I found Pink Panties! I have worn black
clothing most of my life. I always knew that the color black
was slimming and it just became my thing. It also made
matching my clothes more easy for black goes with black
and you just can't mess up but when I had Rowan I wanted
some color in my life. I wanted to buy her super
cute little girl clothes and when looking at some of her items
I realized how much I limited my look by only wearing
one shade so I decided I would make a change and add
a splash of color. Since Rowan is a little girl and the
traditional girl color is pink I thought that should be the
first color I add to my closet and because of all this I
stumbled across Pink Panties! In a web search I just
tossed in the words Ladies and Pink and saw the link.
I didn't plan to start with Undies but I always need them
and thought what the hey!

When I got to the home page I really had the idea
I would find the Panties I save for just the Va Va Voom
Days and was totally surprised by what I found. The first
thing I read set the pace. It was an opening statement that
proclaimed these were panties for every woman! Okay, I
will go with that but are these panties for every woman
that are comfy and look good? One more click of the mouse
brought me to a page where I was looking at a selection of
panties and other undergarments that were not only too
cute for words they looked comfortable. In fact they had the
boy shorts that I had been slowly working into my wardrobe
in an attempt to rid myself of Granny panties. When I saw the
boy shorts style a few years ago I really fell for them and thought
they looked as comfortable as those huge cotton ones I had been
buying for every day. The first pair I bought was really comfortable
too but the problem is every place that makes them manufactures
them a little bit different so every brand is cut just a little
different and they all fit wayyyyyyyyyy different and one pair
might be comfortable and the next ends up in places I really
don't want it. Would these be some of the comfy ones? I sure
hoped so for they were cute! Another thing I noticed is
every pair she has on the site has material and none
of them are just a thin piece of string running up my ample behind!
Ouch, now those are annoying! They are also cute and even sexy
enough for me to wear on Va Va Voom days. Could I have
finally stumbled on a company that can make some panties
I can use to fit all my needs? I decided to find out.

For review I chose my Boy-shorts since that seems to be
my choice dejour as of late and she also sent me a pair of
the Hot Pants! He he he, I always wanted to say I had "Hot
Pants!" When they came I put them through the "test"
with my normal poking and pulling and tugging and stretching
and they not only survived they thrived! Maybe it is the combination
of Cotton and Spandex but unlike the Grannies that end up
like a limp noodle that seem to grow larger every time I wear
them and months later they are pretty much reduced to a piece
of cloth with three equal size holes cut into it. I washed them
maybe 12 times and they looked like I had pulled them out of
the box. I really loved the feel of the material for they were so
soft I knew I wouldn't mind having them next to my skin. And the
Fit! Well, lets just say I was surprise because there is a forth
category of women's underwear we never speak of and that is
the tummy support girdle ones and these reminded me of that
support. They fit just snug enough where I got that sense of
support and made Mount Jiggles go dormant. Now that is
a nice extra perk and one I didn't expect. Everything I
mentioned above is great, and what I would hope to find but
seldom do in an everyday pantie! There is still one question
the remains for these to make the perfect pantie hall of fame!
Would you wear them on a date?
You guys tell me for I posted some pictures for you to
decide but my answer is YES! Not only do these fit well well,
hold up fantastic they also look like terrific! They may not
be silk or leather ( hey, I don't know what you guys do on your
own time) but they are super feminine and cute as a button.
I would wear these for any occasion and look good doing it.
They are perfect in my book!
Something else that is perfect is Pink Panties is going to
give one of my readers a pair of tap panties and a matching
T-shirt! To enter just go to their web site and sign up for
their mail list and leave a comment here letting me know
you did. The contest will start Today, December 20th and
run to midnight on January 27th.
