Toddler Fashion in Florida Heat - Every babe needs The Baby Bird Boutique!

So it's obvious if you've been with me for a while that I kinda sorta have this thing with baby fashion. I mean, I love fashion in general, but if we're being real here, I often walk around looking homeless and a hot mess in my yoga pants and a t-shirt I've had since I graduated high school... but Delainey is almost always dressed to the nines.

If you don't follow us on Instagram yet, you should. You'll see what I mean about her style - she truly is a fashionista and luckily she LOVES it! From the bows to the clothes, this girl is a huge fan of being stylish... and she's kinda "known" for always having the cutest clothes, which tickles my fashion-loving heart.

But... Lately beyond the comments about how cute her clothes are, I've had a lot of questions about what we wear during the HOT FLORIDA summer heat, mainly from my friends that are coming this way for vacations, trying to gauge how they should pack... and while we mix things up and wear all kinds of outfits - the ones we tend to grab for the most are the ones that she's the most comfortable in - our The Baby Bird Boutique rompers.

Conveniently for my friends, they're also the tiniest, sweetest little statement pieces that can be worn for any occasion and they are THE easiest to pack - I literally bring like 5 with us everywhere we go... in a ziploc and I never have to worry about not having an outfit change.

Wondering what's so great about these sweet little rompers?

I'll start with mentioning they are an original design from one of my favorite ladies, Dorie Kirk. You may remember me recently introducing her - if not, go check out why she's so amazing.

Next on my list of reasons to love The BBB is the community. If you're a fan of acceptance and ADORABLEness, then join The Baby Bird Boutique VIP group to find your tribe.

Beyond the community and the maker, is the quality of these pieces. We've been rocking our 6m items since D was just a few months old and we're STILL wearing them at 20 months old. The flexibility in these rompers has allowed her to grow A LOT, without outgrowing the sweetness of these! How are they so flexible in sizing - well, the cut is the main reason but the amazing, stretchy ties also help allow that flexibility!

Speaking of being flexible, if you're in the same season of life, I want to congratulate you and let you know there will be no more flips and slips while potty training your little one. We LOVE that these sweet little bubble rompers have SNAPS to make quick potty chair adventures EASY and quick. Nothing is worse than trying to remove a bubble she's wearing and it not having snaps... I'm sure my fellow potty-trainin' mamas can attest to that.

And while I haven't had to deal with this recently, I will say they are great for newborns as well, for a similar reason. If your babe has blow outs, you know what it's like to try and remove a onesie that's been soiled... these beauties literally can slide off overhead or over her feet without spreading the icky. Potty time can be tricky at all ages, as we parents know, but in BBB I never have to worry, so that's ALSO a  HUGE win for my vacationing buddies too!

My last reason I tend to suggest my girls check out The Baby Bird Boutique when shopping for vacation gear for their little girl's is my main reason, actually. I am obsessed with the unique and adorable prints. Dorie literally blows me away with each and every drop - from flamingos to Cabbage Patch Kids, she's fulfilled my wants and dreams and offered so many amazing pieces that can't be found elsewhere!

With that said, now's the time to upgrade your little one's vacation wardrobe and get your hands on these beach-friendly beautiful bubble rompers! Want some EXTRA good news? Check out the recent KIMONO drop to add some extra fancy & adorable sass to your little one's BBB wardrobe!

Keeping Your Happy Tot Happy with Target

This post is sponsored by Happy Family at Target but the content and opinions expressed here are my own. 

It happened again, we had way too much fun at Target, as per usual... and indulged ourselves with some of our favorites.

There's just something about scouring the aisles of this perfectly organized store and finding epic deals that always pulls Delainey and I in, but recently she's become my little partner in crime and we're always finding reasons to visit our favorite store.

From Deals on toys, to flipflops, pool floats, and toddler clothes, I love that I can find things our family both wants and needs easily in one spot... plus, the newly renovated location by my house just feels like a little slice of heaven, with it's amazing decor set ups and perfectly merchandised items... what's not to love?

You may be wondering our most recent reason to head into the land of deals though...? Well, it all started when I realized we were running low on Delainey's absolute favorite snacks from Happy Tot.

We had fruit & veggie pouches and crackers on the mind as we approached the doors of Target, but when we saw the Happy Tot Whole Milk Yogurt in pouches and cups, her and I just knew she had to try them both. I mena, with mindfully made probiotics, no added sweeteners, all organic and non-GMO ingredients, what's not to love? Don't let her sass fool ya, she was overjoyed to be adding them to the cart!

Speaking of adding items to your cart, what's your favorite thing to shop for in Target? Tell me all about your epic steals & deals from everyone's favorite retailer in the comments below!

The EASIEST Recipe That Also Helps a Child in Need: Gourmet Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken Wrap

This post is sponsored by Mighty Spark Food Co. but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Okay, y'all.. I'm going to share something with you that I'm a little embarrassed to admit.

This may come as a surprise... and confuse you somewhat since I blog about this topic somewhat often... but this is something I need to get off my chest.

I'm actually not a good cook. I'm not just being modest either... It's bad... like, to the extent that I've burnt rice and had to attempt to make recipes a multitude of times before sharing something edible with my family and y'all here on the blog.

I mean, if I'm being real with myself, this may not actually come as a surprise to you... since when I do share recipes they tend to all be EASY, I'm never going to be one to make Baked Alaska... but this recipe is seriously the EASIEST I've ever shared. I mean, I would trust any self proclaimed "bad cook" like myself to whip this up and impress their friends.

So, if you're a new cook and trying to learn the ropes or your just no good in the kitchen (like myself), then I suggest you take notes... because this Gourmet Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken Wrap is one your friends and family will be asking you to make over and over again!

What's the secret to making this delicious dish... and several others? Mighty Spark Foods Co.

What IS Mighty Spark Foods Co? It's a company that started at a little Minneapolis Farmers' Market and has grown into an empire that's going to take over your kitchen! With flavors and spices ALREADY included in their meats, these little flavor packed packages are the answer to your dinnertime woes!

Beyond just helping you to make amazing food, Mighty Sparks Foods Co also makes a difference in the world. For each package of Mighty Spark purchased, the company will donate a meal to a child in need... even more amazing, they've already helped over 1 million kiddos and that number grows each time a package of their delicious food is purchased!

So how can you get in on this goodness and help a child in need?

Here's my Gourmet Cheesy Bruschetta Chicken Wrap recipe... and keep an eye out for a couple of other amazing recipes using their Sweet Thai-Style Seasoned Ground Chicken and Bacon-Bursting Ground Turkey Blend!

Ingredients for 1 Wrap:

1 Large Flour Tortilla
1 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Goat Cheese (to taste)
1/2 cup Mighty Spark Foods Co Bruschetta Ground Chicken
For the lines, you'll want a grilling pan - otherwise a regular pan will be just fine!

Alright, y'all ready...

All you have to do is follow the directions on the Mighty Spark Foods Co packaging to make the Bruschetta Chicken - which literally include heating the meat up in a pan... and that's it!

Now you'll place your tortilla in a pan on medium heat and start placing your ingredients on only one half of it.

Adding the Mozzarella Cheese first, then the Mighty Spark Foods Co Bruschetta Ground Chicken, and a spring of Goat cheese for a little extra pop of flavor.

Allow the wrap to warm on one side, letting the cheese melt some - it took about 4 minutes for me. Then flip with a spatula and warm the other side for another 3-5 minutes.

ENJOY!

Easily Make Your Home Feel Like a Beachy Paradise in Just One Step: Start Cleaning with Clorox Scentiva

This post is sponsored Clorox®.

As you likely know, we live near the beach... and we love it here. Although... If I could choose any place in the world to live, it would be ON the beach with the ocean breeze and sea mist billowing through the windows - but I'm definitely not complaining about being a few miles away either, I just like to find ways to make our little place feel a bit more beachy when I can.

From white washed walls and shabby chic furniture in our living room, to a mermaid themed bathroom - we are all about keeping this little shack of ours beachy and cozy. I have a thing for blue tones and I pretty much would call Delainey's room a shine to mermaids... so it's safe to say every inch of our house is a bit beachy...

Enough about our house though, are you looking for ways to bring the beach to your home? Here's one way I bet you haven't tried yet --- CLEANING!

That's right, you can start cleaning with a bit of Pacific Breeze & Coconuts. One of the most creative ways to bring the beach to your home is to sanitize and disinfect with THE BEST smelling products. Not only will your house be clean, but you'll always feel like you're taking a refreshing deep breath by the sea.

If you're like me, coconut is your go-to scent when thinking of beach days. Maybe it's a mixture of the thought of a pina coloda or a little bit of reminiscing on how amazing sunscreen smells- but this paradise scented line of cleaners makes me feel like I'm at the beach, even when I'm at home having to do chores!

Not only does this amazing CLOROX® Scentiva line smell like paradise, it leaves my bathroom glistening like a little piece of sea glass while also killing 99.9% of bacteria and viruses! So I'm fully on-board with a little coconut cleaning, do you want to give this coconut paradise line of cleaners a try, you can find the entire Clorox Scentiva line at Target - get the details here!

The best part is, you can clean every inch of your bathroom with this line - using the Clorox Scentiva Multi-Purpose cleaner to wipe down the sink, the Toilet Cleaning Gel to sanitize your throne, and the Foam Cleaner to clean your tub, your whole bathroom will be refreshingly clean and smell refreshing as well!

So tell me, are you ready to clean with coconuts and bring a piece of the beach to your home with Clorox Scentiva? Do you have any other creative ways to bring the beach indoors? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!
