Kindergarten, in fact, does rock.

I have referred to myself as a recovering preppy in the past. I am not quite sure that I am recovering, entirely. When it comes to my "look" I would still fit into the fairly conservative category. Not "lands end" preppy, more "j crew-ish" . I do, however, take a lot of liberties when it comes to my daughter's wardrobing options. She runs all over the fashion spectrum, from girly girl, to hippy love child, to boarding school chic. I can't nail her down, and that is fine with me...I love more options than I could have ever imagined. I can take more fashion "chances" with a 5 year old...I have this kind of paper-doll mentality when it comes to dressing Parker. Since the day she was born, I have wanted her to be one of those babies that spits up a lot...so I could put a new outfit on her. Much to my dismay, she was the "cleanest" of all my children.

Anyhow, I got my girl...beware of what you wish for :)

So, Parker got a pair of tie dyed sneakers from her over-indulgent mom this weekend (you can do that when you make stuff for a living) and you can get them too atwww.billiebeans.etsy.com. You also get to have other wonderful friends that make cool stuff for a living. Parker digs all her Paperlili apparel, but this tee is her current fav. I think that most girls adore color, and rainbows and sparkles and that is what Cristy is all about! We especially like to have coordinating items to go with her Paperlili goodies! Check out www.paperlili.com! Always, always new and fun and original sparkly goodies!

So check out paperlili, and check out my etsy shop for some cool new sneakers, whatever way you like 'em!

I am so fortunate to have a photographer for a sister-in-law. Michele is wonderful! Go here to see her work: http://www.hinzphoto.com She and my brother Brian do wonderful work. If you are in the metro Phoenix area, look her up for some great holiday photos or Senior portraits or any other photo desire you may conjure up!

A New Meaning for Happy Feet

Oh, these shoes just make me happy by looking at them! I have been working on these under strict recommendations by my buddy Cristy of Paperlil.com. She is a good motivator!

I will be offering these in my Etsy shop, shortly. They will be completely custom, I am loving the rainbow tie dyed version at this point.

So, look for them shortly in my Etsy store. You can click on the right, or go to www.billiebeans.etsy.com.

BTW, these are for my sweet niece, Alexis in Michigan! Your shoes are on their way :)
