Book Review {Candy and the Cankersaur by Jason Sandberg} And a Giveaway too!
Of course I read the book over myself as soon as Jason sent it over, I thought it was super cute! A fun & entertaining read. Emma & I snuggled in on the couch the next morning & I read it to her. By the second or third time the line..."the first rule no biting" came up Emma was saying it right along with me. She then proceeded to read it again two plus times later that afternoon! Its a hit.
-Wanna know what the book is all about? You know besides how preciously cute that front cover is? Well here it goes. A daddy who is overworked buys his little girl Candy everything a girl could possibly want. But she has a neighbor who is very competitive. {Sound familiar? "My room is bigger than your room! "My bike has pink on it!" All kids do it!} And he always try's to out due her. Candy's dad thinks he knows what she needs, a companion. Perhaps a pet? - yes - a dinosaur! The competitive neighbor can't compete with that. He steals & sells that dino off to the circus! Once he realizes how sad Candy is they set off to find Cank, the dino together. Seems all he wanted was to get Candy's attention. It worked. In the end Candy finds herself with more than one companion.
The pictures are crazy cute. The wording is easy enough that my 6 year old was able to read alone. Perfect. We recommend that you check out Jason Sandberg's website. He has written a few kids books we will be sure to check out. Emma has already asked for The New Crown.

What I Wore Wednesday {da pugs yearly checkup}
Today has the potential to make me sweat. Panic. Get super angry. Feel bad. Or da pug will just be good. The vet will just do what she has to do & bot be a baby about it. Da pug does not take kindly to being muzzled - as if he has a nose to muzzle. Last year they drew out the process so ridiculously that we ended up having to put the cone on him just so that they could draw blood from him without him eating there arm off. He can be very ferocious. So here's hoping...
striped top by Old Navy - layered with a soft grey sweater by Target {Totally spotted these for sale again this year need one for Christmas. psst Mr L.}- deep denim jeans by soho for Khols - grey Converse shoes

Tis The Season - of Giving {Week #2} Had & Harps
I started this little venture of mine last year when I decided I wanted to make a birthday dress for my littlest! A few rolls of tulle later I was obsessed and in business. Had and Harps is named after my girls who are my whole world. Girly, fun and full of fairy tale is who they are. (For now at least). -- The newest item in my shop is my ribbon tutus! They give me visions of winter wonderlands, ice skating, sugar plum fairies and all the splendor that goes along with the season."
Winners will choose size... newborn to 12 girls but she's always happy to do custom sizes. Made from 100% nylon tulle, 3/4 inch knit elastic waist band, and trimmed with double faced satin ribbon. Finished with a bow. - Lindsay is so fabulous that she is giving away not one, but two tutus. Ah-may-zing. She is in a super giving mood. Tis the season!
