Kids’ Style # 18 – Sunday’s best

admin — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:27:34 +0000

Before anything else, please bear with the phone cam pics. (:

Bye bye Winter! From 3-4 layers of clothing, Caity’s now down to 1. She even refused to wear stockings or tights and asked only for socks. That’s how lovely the weather is lately.
Caity wore this blue green dress (appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day) to church today, but the pictures were taken when we got home 4 hours later. Her hair is already unkempt!

We found this bird house up in the tree. You can really tell that Spring is here, as many birds are already chirping their happy songs. Guess who else is happy?

Caity! Can you see what she is holding? Well, she’s currently taking a fancy with the Little Pet Shop toys, and her Dad bought her 4 more when we went grocery-shopping. The kid is super happy!

Now for the details:

Glitter shoes – H&M and white socks with lace from SM

Handmade flower bows (used as bracelet) by rainydazeee

The dress has some pretty geometric embroidery in the front…

…as well as at the seam.

It’s a nice dress given to Caity as gift from one of my friends. And it looks like she’s outgrowing it fast!
Over and out…

We invite you to link up your kids’ outfit shot! There’s gotta be at least 1 for this week, don’t you think? (:

Kids’ Style # 17 – Pink hues

admin — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 09:33:26 +0000

Outfit:
Tunic top – H&M
Skirt – Next
Floral cardigan – Eulalie
Shoes – Nelliblu

I don’t know why Caity doesn’t like the floral cardigan. We bought it when vacationing in Finland last summer. When I first saw it, I immediately thought of Spring and how pretty she would look on it. I got her to wear it though but only for awhile.

Speaking of Spring, the weather has been lovely the past days. It can be erratic though, one time it’s all sunny and warm and the next moment, it’s gloomy and drizzling. I hope Spring would bring us lots of beautiful days for the kids to play outside.

Back to the outfit, the layered tunic top used to reach her knees and was a dress for her. Caity has obviously grown, but she can still pair it with leggings or skirts. That’s what I like about tunic, they can be used as a top when kids outgrow them.

Without the floral cardigan…

See how Caity spent her weekend here.
Over and out, it’s your turn to share your latest looks!

Kids’ Style # 16 – Gotta wear shades

mom_of_caity — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 13:42:40 +0000

Monday was a bright and cheery day, which didn’t go unnoticed by Caity. She immediately came to me and asked for her Minnie Mouse sunglasses. “The sun is bright to my eyes, Mama.” Oh well, the little girl had the perfect excuse to put her sunnies into good use. Before heading out to school, Caity stroke a series of poses which aren’t choreographed at all. This girl, hahaha I was snickering as she kept changing her stance. (:

Outfit:
Pink winter jacket – S. Oliver
Jeans – Hannah Montana
Boots – Walky
Sunnies – Minnie Mouse

Eat your veggies!

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 16:07:52 +0000

When Caity was still around 2 years old, her favorite vegetable to munch on was cucumber. She also loves to eat fruits so we always keep stock of fresh produce at home. I tried feeding her then with fresh bell peppers and tomatoes but she didn’t like it. Fast forward to present, Caity now likes bell peppers (but only the yellow & red) and cherry tomatoes too! If your kids refuse to eat certain vegetables now, let some time pass and re-introduce it to them. Who knows, they might give those vegetables a second chance.

Here’s the kid after her nap, having an afternoon snacks of carrots sticks, yellow & red bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, bread with butter and some dried sausages.

Eat all you can!!!

Those are fresh alright, my kids prefer to nibble on crunchy vegetables compared to cooked, soft ones.

Some more of Caity, trying to be funny!

Kids’ Style #15 – Let’s hold hands

admin — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 17:42:05 +0000

Before you get excited in joining us, please take a little time to click here and read how this meme should be done. Thanks!
————–
On our way out of the mall’s restroom, we couldn’t help but notice this happy doggie. Caity who’s crazy over dogs just have to pose with him, and with the couple guarding the toilets (scroll down). Photos taken using phone cam, except for the last one.

Trying to hold hands with Mr. and Mrs and Minnie Mouse too. (:

Outfit:
Denim overall dress – Kute
Top – Hello Kitty
Purple Cardigan – H&M
Tights – Hello Kitty
Boots – Nelliblu

Caity looks a bit different coz I trimmed her bangs. It looks better on her, IMO.

@ the candy stall buying some sweet treats…

Our dog-lover kid brought home one of her Christmas wish that *baby Jesus forgot to give her, the cute pink poodle with huge eyes!
*Our excuse why it wasn’t under the tree along with her other gifts. Yay!

Kids’ Style # 14 – Hearts Day

admin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 16:06:02 +0000

Wear red for Valentine’s! In Caity’s case, a little splash of red is enough. She’s donning an appropriate wear for preschoolers like her who’d mostly spend their time running and playing.

Outfit:
Tunic top – Kappahl (hand-me-down from cousin Az)
Leggings – C&A
Shoes – Cherokee
Beaded Necklace – made by Caity’s dad (isn’t that sweet?)
Flower barrettes – H&M

Oooops! Don’t drop my heart!

Happy Heart’s Day everyone!

XoXo, Happy Caity

Snow Angel

Finally it snowed and it stayed long enough for the kids to enjoy it. Caity’s not going to let it pass without this:

She’s loving it!!!

Kids’ Style # 13 – When it’s cold outside

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:51:05 +0000

Brrrr!!! It’s been a cold, cold week in Prague with temperatures going below 0C. According to AccuWeather, we will be experiencing more subzero temperatures till this week. Brrrr!! The kids still have colds, ~~Caity might have to stay home until she gets totally healthy. Her coughing might make the teachers frown.~~ She went to school anyway. (:

We went out today though, for church and some needed grocery-shopping. We made sure to bundle up the kids just to make sure they’re warm enough to face the chilly day. Here’s what Caity-Cat wore beneath her winter jacket:

Top – Hello Kitty
Gray hoodie – C&A
Jeans – Hannah Montana
Tights – Hello Kitty
Snood – Lindex (borrowed from Mama)

She’s wearing another shirt under her Hello Kitty top. That’s three layers already plus the thick jacket (not worn) equals four!

We sweat it out during these cold months by playing with Xbox Kinect especially the Dance Central 2. Ze kids just love to dance!

After a few rounds of dancing and playing, Caity is sleeping like a log now. Teehee!

It’s time to share your kids outfit shots. Come and add your link below!

Sick week

admin — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 14:03:58 +0000

This is our first time to join

Caity was sick since Monday, so we kept her at home. I bet it was because she wasn’t properly dressed for the cold temperature when she & her dad went home from the party last Saturday and she lacked sleep, that did it. On Wednesday, her fever was already gone but she still had colds. We decided it was better to let her stay home for the remaining school days than bringing the virus to her class.

The two tots kept me busy all day, all week long! With hubby working till late at night for three straight days, everyday was a struggle for me. I had to be their playmate, maid, teacher, referee, entertainer, ___, ___… (what else?), all rolled into one. Whew! Oh, and I had to make sure noses dripping like leaking faucet were wiped every minute or so. Even though Caity was sick, her level of energy was still hard to beat. Kids!

This used to be our living room!!! Caity and lil’ bro took over the place and turned it into a playground. KIDS!!!

We resurrected their old plastic play house upon Caity’s request. It’s all battered but still never fails to give the kids happiness.

Monday night: “Picture me Mama!” Caity makes numerous poses before she went to bed.

Tuesday: I made this pink no-sew skirt for Caity.

Thursday: Caity prepared lunch for her friends – Minnie Mouse, Dog and Teddy Bear.

Chow time! What a feast! It made me smile when I heard her praying before they attacked the food. hihi

The family is holed up at home for the weekend because it’s lil’ bro’s turn to be sick. Its probably the effect of his vaccination last Tuesday. That, or he caught Caity’s virus.

Kids’ Style # 12 – Minnie Mouse

admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:40:03 +0000

One of Caity’s fave friend, Nikki had a birthday party yesterday. It was a costume party, and our little Minnie fan went in her Minnie Mouse dress. It was the first time Caity took her red polka dotted frock for a spin since we bought it last month.

Camouflaged! Red on red!

The whole morning, Caity was over excited to go to Nikki’s party. It was even difficult to let her snooze for an afternoon nap before the event coz she couldn’t take her mind off it. As expected, she was all cranky when the party started.

The only activity she joined was the dancing. After that, she complained she’s tired.

The celebrant was dressed as a queen! Cute! She even has a king for a partner.

She didn’t like the blaring music, and it became worse when the kids had to play the balloon-popping game. She doesn’t like balloons because, well, they’re noisy when they pop. Poor girl, it was a major torture for her. She was either hugging me or her dad most of the time until she couldn’t stand the noise plus the crowd anymore and started crying, begging us to go home. “I want to go home.. please?“ So off she went with her dad while I stayed with lil’ bro who was also sleepy but was having the time of his life. More on that at rainydazeee.com.

This is what I got playing with colors. Duh!

Outfit:
Minnie Mouse dress – H&M
Red tights – no brand
Floral barrette – H&M
Maryjanes shoes – Cherokee (at the party, she wore her purple boots).

Caity complained that the end of the sleeves were itchy so I had to let her wear a long sleeve shirt.

Here’s the cute pink barrettes adorning her hair. (:

Caity is making up with the short time spent with Nikki yesterday by spending her Sunday (today) at their house. I’m sure the girls are having fun playing with all the new toys the birthday girl got for her special day. Yeah! Caity’s not home yet as I’m writing this!
