Funkins // Tuscan Pizza Party (and Dinosaurs)

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Here in North Carolina we have been getting a lot of rainy, very humid, grey days and I am NOT really a fan. Trying to keep the kids busy while inside, the girls and I celebrated National Pizza Party Day on Friday, May 15th. Although I am mostly Irish, my Grandmother’s Parents (on my Mom’s Side) came from Tuscany. I decided to do a Pizza Party with just a little Tuscan influence, featuring toddler friendly DIY Pizzas. Elsie’s dinosaurs also came and crashed the party.

To get our rainy day Pizza Party started, we visited our local Trader Joe’s Grocery store for everything we needed. My girl’s just like the old fashion cheese and pepperoni pizza, but this could be a fun way to explore other toppings with your kiddos. Mine just aren’t ready for that yet. While we waited for the Pizza’s to cook, we had a little chalkboard and dinosaur fun.

The girls really loved putting their pizzas together, but they loved eating them even better! Our rainy day turned bright with sunflowers, yummy DIY pizzas, lemonade, and dinosaurs. A Pizza Party is great way to stay busy with kids this summer ( including our diffrently-abled kiddos), rain or shine!

Fashionkins // Playing Dress Up

By Zacha Carpenter, Contributor Leave a Comment

My daughter is going through a super girly phase. We are talking pink & princess everything in our house right now! Playing dress up in her disney dresses is an everyday activity. So I have been trying to incorporate more feminine looks in her everyday wardrobe and taking full advantage of all the pastel pink pieces available this season. I am a strong believer in accessories and I feel like they can make or break an outfit. It amazes me at how many companies are now creating accessory lines for kids. I find that most of the brands I like for her are online based boutiques, but I really like to see things in person for certain outfits. My go to store at the moment is Forever 21, they always have fun, playful accessories that are so easy to style on your little ones. I know these phases come & go so I will try and have as much fun dressing up with her as long as possible!
