Shopping For Girls....So Many Pretty Things!

With two little girls I have started to wonder what baby number three is going to be.

Husband is convinced it is another little girl but i'm not so sure. We don't mind either way though as long as it is healthy.

I always wanted a little girl so am over the moon to have two. I am so girly I must admit that first time round I did want a little girl to dress up in pretty dresses and to go shopping with when she's older.

It would be lovely to have a little boy to complete our little family but if it is a girl at least we already have lots of pink and girly things. If its a boy I guess I will just have to get shopping (what a shame haha).

The one thing that does worry me though is that there is so many more cute things for girls than boys. Why is that? Everyone I know who has boys is always complaining about it.

Shopping for girls is so addictive, there are just so many things to choose from.  I am a huge fan of pretty dresses with matching knickers and as they get older dresses with brightly coloured tights.

I was just going through lots of old photos today and wanted to share a few of them with you.

So many beautiful outfits:

We have to wait until February to find out what the next one will be but I guess its not that far away. Will keep you posted.

The Gallery - Guilty Pleasures

When I saw that this weeks topic over at the gallery was guilty pleasures I knew immediately what I would write about.

With two gorgeous little girls it easily has to be shopping!!

Girls clothes are so pretty. I love everything girly and of course pink!! A little bit of purple is creeping into their winter wardrobes but most of it is pink: bright pink, light pink I don't mind. Spotty, stripy or plain it does not matter as long as it is pretty. You will not find any trousers in there or anything too grown up, most of it is traditional girls dresses, and pretty cardigans, funky tights and tutus.

Lots of dresses for Rosie too

They each have a denim skirt and dress but no jeans for these girls. There is plenty of time for that! I am really fussy with colours too and can not stand all the browns, oranges and dull colours that appear to be in the shops this season. No I want to keep my little girls looking like little girls, pretty, girly and young, after all they are only 3 years and 14 months old.

I live in the middle of nowhere on the coast in South Devon and while it is very pretty the main drawback is that there are no shops to indulge in my guilty pleasure, probably good for our bank balance! Instead I resort to the internet. I love it when the girls are asleep, I settle back with either a glass of wine or cup of coffee and browse my favourite sites, purchasing when I see something I love.

Daddy Takes Photos

I mentioned at the weekend that Husband had got his camera out again and started taking photos of us all. He is a novice photographer who had taught himself. He loves his camera and is very protective of it. He spends time cleaning it and money on special lenses and filters, yet mostly keeps it hidden away. This weekend however, his interest was resumed and I think there will be many more photos coming this way.

I wanted to share a few of my faves of the girls with me:

They grow up so quickly so I think we need to keep taking lots of photos to record these precious moments. looking forward to sharing many more with you.
