    Zara Furry Alphabet Toddler Raincoat

    / 0 Comments

    We LOVE Zara for my son Oliver. The clothing is affordable, well-made, and trendy so he can stay cool at school. The ZARA Furry Alphabet Toddler Raincoat is no exception! Since it doesn’t rain often in California, every time it does rain it seems like my son’s raincoat or rainboots are TOO SMALL! So I’ve learned to check and buy him updated sizes BEFORE the rain comes. This coat is sold out in the stores but I am selling it on all my favorite second-hand websites. If you’d like, surf over to ZARA to check out their other options for rain gear! Oliver is wearing the NUNUNU Rain Boots –…

    Piccolina Kids Train Hoodie

    / 0 Comments

    The Piccolina Kids Train Hoodie is from a children’s clothing brand with a powerful back story and message. Piccolina tries to inspire little girls (and boys) to dream big, and become scientists, mathematicians, and activists. Piccolina also introduces clothing typically for boys, such as dinosaurs, trains, and space-themed items, for girls AND boys. You may have heard of their “Trailblazer” collection which is Piccolina’s claim to fame featuring women pioneers. This Train Locomotives print is from their other popular collection called “Discovery”. Let’s take a look at the Piccolina Kids Locomotives Hoodie. This was one of the first pieces of Piccolina clothing I purchased for my son. Side note: we…

    Best For Slender Toddlers: ZARA Jeans

    / 0 Comments

    Zara makes really great and somewhat affordable clothes for toddlers. If you have a 4 or 5-year-old who is exceptionally tall but very thin, these fit a LOT better than anything you can get at The Gap or Old Navy. I am selling these exact jeans on all the reputable resale sites so hopefully you can check them out. To play the video above: Click the > play button on the video’s left-hand side. My son was a tall toddler and super skinny and I found the ZARA pants to fit him SO well! Elastic waistband. Pockets. Distressed black/grey wash. Great condition! No stains, rips, tears! Size is 4-5 Years…

    Lego City is the Best Advent Calendar for Kids

    / 1 Comment

    We’ve been getting the Lego City advent calendar for our six-year-old son for the past 3 years and this year, again, it was a huge hit! The only bad thing about it is that it sells out fast! It is the most popular of all the Lego Advent Calendars. So plan on snagging it in early to mid-November so you are ready on December 1st. Every year the individual Lego pieces are different but the idea is the same. There are some little builds, and some interesting pieces like a turkey, video game controller, pony, and carrot. There is always a nice amount of minifigs too! It’s quite a great…
