Instead of Toilet Paper, Teens Cover Tree in Girls Capri Leggings

Honestly, i don't know what this is about.  Truly.  But lately, some teenagers in our neighborhood have been TP'ing the trees in the middle of the night.  Af first this was kind of funny.  I remember what it was like to be young and stupid.  (As opposed to old and stupid.)  However, the antics never stopped, and believe me, that kind of behavior grows old fast.  Some of the neighbors complained to the cops, even though no one wanted to get the kids in trouble.  After all, they're one of our own.  Eventually, the hyjinks stopped.  But then a few weeks later, they started up again.  Only know, instead of using toilet paper, these kids covered an oak in girls capri leggings like those found here.  I sincerely don't know what these children were doing, because these capri leggings were totally cute!  Whoever they took them from must be pretty darn pissed, I'll tell you what.

When my girls saw all those capri leggings hanging from the branches, they were shocked.  They were like, "Mama, why would they ruin all those leggings?"  I didn't have a good answer for that.  Later, before bed the girls asked me if they could have some capris like the pretty ones hanging from the arms of the tree.  I wasn't sure if we would be able to find any that cute.  I mean, these had mismatched legs and fun, colorful patters.  But alas, the internet didn't let me down.  In fact, it was kind of easy to find them.  I just did a search for "Capri leggings for girls" and one of the top hits was a cool website called TwirlyGirl.  And wouldn't you know it, their leggings were even prettier than the ones dangling over the lawn!  We filled our cart with a whole bunch of them, and in a few days, our leggings arrived.  The girls could not have been happier if they were vacation on the island of Capri!  LOL!  See what I did there?  It's a pun, or a play on words.  I did it to illicit laughter.

The next day, the girls wore their capri leggings while walking the dog around the block.  One of the locals asked if they took them off the pine.  Idiot, it's an oak.  Can't he tell the difference?!   And no, we did not!  We ordered them off TwirlyGirl.  Then we gave him the link to their website to prove it.  Here's a link for you as well, just in case you're asking the same question.  www.twirlygirlshop.com 

Child Wearing Girls Maxi Dress Shows up Adults in Aerobics Class

Three times a week, I drag my flabby but to the aerobics class at the local gym.  It's mostly filled with middle aged women like myself who are trying to get back the body they think they had, but really never did.  We throw on our workout clothes, fill our water bottles, and proceed to act like lunatics for 45 minutes, thinking that will reverse the damage of years of bodily neglect.  Bummer huh?   It gets worse.  Just as I thought I was finally improving my fitness level after three straight months, I was shown up by a first timer.  Why is this so humiliating?  Because was a ten year old girl.  And she didn't stretch or warm up.  She wasn't even dressed right.  She was wearing a girls maxi dress like this kind.  Maxi dresses are cute, fun, and fashion forward.  But they belong on the beach, or at a party.  Not at a freaking cardio class!!

So while all of us gals were huffing and puffing, barely keeping up with the hot instructor who I would like to strangle, the girl in the maxi dress was prancing and dancing, barely out of breath.  I mean, she was singing while exercising.  The rest of us were too winded to even talk.   This went on throughout the whole class.  While we were doing jacks, ab work, jump knee tucks.... everything.  We were struggling, and the kid wearing the maxi dress for girls was breezing right through it. I don't know if this can be attributed to youth, or fantastic super human genetics.  Or maybe the girls maxi dress simply gave the kid superpowers.  Whatever the case, I think all of us kind of resented this kid.

When I got home, I told my family about this child.  And the only thing the really wanted to know was more about the dress!  The even made me doing an internet search for girls maxi dress so that I could show them a picture.  Unbelievable.  Where's the compassion and humanity?  Why am I the only one outraged and jealous and bitter.  Maybe it's because as I grow older and my body starts to sag and fall about, it angers me.  But at least I'll say this for the maxi girl:  she's enjoying her age to the fullest!

Whatever.  I suppose you want to know more about the maxi dress for girls as well.  If this is the case, click here and you can read all about it here.  To your heart's content.

Girls Birthday Dresses are the only Gifts We Gave this Year.

My daughter is in elementary school, and I swear, she gets invited to dozens of parties every year.  That's not to say that she's hugely popular or anything.  She's just average in popularity.  But you know how it goes these days.  Parents are very conscious about not excluding anyone, so half the time, the entire classroom is invited to a birthday party.  Throw in her gymnastics class and music friends... that adds up to a lot of presents we have to give.  So I just made it very easy on myself.  Instead of shopping around for thousands of different gifts, I decided that this year, we were going to give out girls birthday dresses like this one.  Birthday dresses are easy, they are fun, casual, and can be worn to lots of occasions.  They make the lucky girl who's wearing it feel special, pretty, and funky.  So the next logical question was, where are we going to get all of these girls birthday dresses.  I mean, we didn't want to give out some that were prettier than others.  That would be playing favorites. So we did some research online and this is what we discovered.

There are lots of website that sell birthday dresses for girls, but a lot of them sell inferior clothing that's just going to fall apart after one wash.  That's not the kind of gift giver I want to be.   I don't know what the deal is.  Maybe these dresses are manufactured overseas where they don't pay sewers a lot of money, but it ain't for me.  We were able to find one site that manufactures all of their birthday dresses in America.  Can you believe it?  It's called TwirlyGirl and I urge you to check them out.  It's a small little company, but they have such a great selection of unique dresses.  Each dress is made in a limited run.  This was important to me because it makes the present more special. The girl who gets it is not likely to see any other girls wearing the same exact dress.  You know how humiliating that is?  That's why stars don't do it on the red carpet.  To me, this gives each birthday dress a one-of-a-kind appeal.  Let's be honest, I'm kind of taking the lazy way out here, but by shopping at TwirlyGirl, no one else is going to know that.  Each girls dress practically looks custom made, so it looks very special, in my opinion.

Here's a link to the TwirlyGirl website just in case you are confronted with the same motherly problems that I am.  Poke around.  I also like the fact that they gift wrap all of their dresses for free.  The wrap it up in fabric, then tie off the ends like it's a piece of candy.  It really is so sweat.  Talk about making all of my headaches go away.  LOL!  Makes me wish I owned stock in this company.
