FASCINATION WITH FASHION!

As a mother who made all of my baby's Halloween costumes and couldn't celebrate any kid's birthday without an elaborate theme party, this was right up my alley!

 

Huff Post Parents featured an ARTICLE today written by blogger Ilana Wiles. The story was about the most precocious four-year old, nicknamed Mayhem, who has a fascination with all things fashion. Little Mayhem and her mommy Angie design and make dresses out of construction paper and tape. Mom says that tissue paper, wrapping paper, and gift bags, silk scarves, tulle, and aluminum foil are also fair game. I see a budding designer in the making. House of Mayhem, anyone?

 

With the 86th Academy Awards on the horizon I just had to share this little darling's ode to the red carpet. If you want more follow @2sisters_angie and #fashionbymayhem on Instagram. You'll be one of the first. If you aren't on Instagram, check out more of Mayhem's creations on her upcoming website FashionByMayhem.com.

 

 

DRINKING THEIR VEGGIES!

January has been an interesting month, most of it revolving around my new healthy eating regime. At the beginning of the month I added juicing and organic vegetables to my diet and eliminated all fried foods, meat, starches and sugars. I'm down twenty pounds and I feel absolutely amazing. As part of my transition I've been trying to figure out how to steer my family down this road as well, most especially since Son-shine, the new daughter-in-law and my beautiful grandbaby will soon be moving in with me. I want to steer my munchkin in a very healthy direction so learning everything I can about juicing for children is a priority. Towards that I thought I'd share one of my very favorite juices for kids. As, well, the book below is one I highly recommend.

Drinking their veggies is nothing but good!
