Energy Bar gets smushed on girls capri leggings

We have a household full of budding athletes and kids on the go.  It seems we are always running from one place to another, without a second to lose.  That means we have to grab many of our meals to go.  I refuse to have the children eat fast food, so we rely heavily on energy bars to snack on while they are at chess tournaments, football and soccer games, and mathletes competitions.  Unfortunately, some of these power foods can get a little janky when left in the heat of our parked car.  Such was the case a few weeks ago when my daughter left some girls capri leggings (similar to this kind) on top of the snack item.  When she returned to the minivan, the food product was smeared all over the capri leggings for girls.  This was highly problematic for my my neat freak kid.  She goes crazy when so much as a crumb touches the hem of a dress she's wearing, so say nothing of almond butter all over the capri leggings.  She freaked out, and started screaming and crying.  She was totally inconsolable.  This child is a real drama queen... just like the father.

We tried scrubbing the leggings with harsh detergents and cleansers, but the cashews were really ground into the fabric.  They were beyond ruined.  Our next plan was to buy some new capri leggings for girls at the local boutique, but because it was sunday, everything was closed.  So plan C involved our old friend the internet.   We performed a google search for girls capri leggings and were pleasantly surprised by the number of website that were offering this unique style.  We clicked on a bunch, but frankly, we were a little underwhelmed by some of them. So we went a little further down the list until we stumbled across a great little website called TwirlyGirl.

TwirlyGirl had a totally cool and fresh selection of capri leggings for girls.  Honestly, we were all stunned by how fun and funky everything was.  My daughter's eyes became as big as saucers. And to tell you the truth, it made me wish I was that age again.  Unfortunately for me, back in the 1980s, clothes were not nearly as creative and unique.  Of course, this was long before the age of the world wide web, which has brought so many terrific products to the world.  There's just so much more choice these days, don't you agree?

When the girls leggings arrived at our home, everyone was thrilled with the quality and craftsmanship of the garment.  Yes, it cost a little more than the cheap foreign made junk at the big box department stores.  But this brand sews all of their clothes in the USA.  Yes, I expect to pay some more.  It's not a big deal.  This is how I sleep at night knowing that an American was paid a fair wage to make clothing for my girls, instead of exploiting some overseas worker.  This link will take you straight to the TwirlyGirl homepage.  I don't ordinarily plug businesses on my blog, but when I find one that I like, then I have no issue with giving them a shout out if it's going to help connect my readers with a well made item.  www.twirlygirlshop.comhttp://www.twirlygirlshop.com

Calendar has nothing but pictures of girls capri leggings

My daughter is a fifth grader at Clarke Elementary School.  One of recent project she had for art class was to make a calendar including photos of some favorite things.  For example, many kids had lots of pics of dogs and cats.  Others had sports heroes making great plays.  One had sketches of great presidents in US history.  But not my girl.  She went off the map for this assignment.  She assembled a working 12 month calendar, and on each month was a separate photograph of girls capri leggings (seen here)  Capri leggings are very popular in my household.  We have lots of females walking through these corridors, and they all wear capri leggings because they are so versatile.  They can be worn under a dress or skirt either to accessorize an outfit or to simply make it warmer on a cold autumn day.  Sometimes they put them on just because they make them feel comfy and cozy.  They are perfect for lounging around the house or watching tv in.  I'm not joking.  If I tell you we have dozens of capri leggings lying around this house, that's no exaggeration.  So when my daughter whipped out the camera and began photographing them all about the world, we got a huge kick out of it.  To be honest, she had two dozen awesome snapshots, so we had to narrow them down to 12.  Not to worry, she used the extras to hang above bed so that she can stare at them at night.  No joke.  This girl has a serious addiction to capri leggings for girls, don't you think.  Should I call a shrink, or just a fashion designer.

I should clarify.  She doesn't like all kinds of leggings.  Only capri leggings from TwirlyGirl.  It has to be that brand or she want wear them.  She likes how soft they are, and she thinks their selection of fun and funky patterns is the absolute best.  I wonder if I post this blog piece, and the owners of TwirlyGirl read it, will they send me some free stuff.  That would be nice.  wink wink.  So the thing is now that when my girl turns the page to february she thinks, ooh, I want to get those.  And march, the same thing.  And so on.  And what does she want for christmas?  You got it.  Leggings.  And how about birthdays?  yep, girls leggings.  The kid is a broken record set to fashion.

The teacher who was grading the project gave my kid an A.  But secretly, I suspect she thinks Alice is a psychopath because of this obsession.  She really is a one trick pony.  But I can't fault the child.  I love girls capri leggings as well.  I just wish they came in my size.  I used to be slim.  Well, that's not entirely true.  I used to not be large.  But now that I limit myself to only two burgers a day, I'm not terrible.  Anyway, this link will take you to the TwirlyGirl site.  Check out all of their cute clothes.  You will truly love what they have to offer. Ciao!

girls capri leggings put on mannequin in classroom

My daughter just started seventh grade.  Some refer to that as middle school, other as high school.  Whatever you call it, it's a whole new ball game for the child.  Kids have to move from class to class, they get a locker instead of a cubby, and the subjects are a lot more serious as well as the resources devoted to it.  I'll give you an example.  In biology, the students are treated to a life size, anatomically correct model.  You can see all of the organs and bones and stuff.  It's a little creepy, which is why someone played a prank on it.  During recess, someone snuck into the room and dressed the male figure in girls clothing.  Specifically, girls capri leggings similar to these were put on the legs.  Capri leggings are hugely popular with the my girls friends.  They wear them all the time.  Under skirts and dresses, while watching tv, on sleepovers, or even all by themselves.  If there's one item that needs to be packed on any trip, it's capri leggings for girls.  That much is a given.  So naturally, all the girls had a good laugh to see the figure wearing leggings for girls.  LOL!

Unfortunately, no one took a photo of it!  Cell phones are banned during regular hours, and the statue was quickly disrobed by the teaching staff.  I don't know why.  Now he's nude!  The funny thing is, after my girl saw it, she wanted to get capri leggings just like it.  When she got home, we conducted a quick internet search and found an awesome site that sells capri leggings for girls.  They were so cute. We probably purchased a half dozen or so.  Why not?  My girl wears them all the time.  I almost wanted to buy a pair for the dummy!

What I like most about the capris from TwirlyGirl is that the fabrics are super soft and the stitches are hidden so as not to be itchy or scratchy.  Plus the patterns are really fun and funky.  Some of the legs are even mismatched.  It really makes a fashion statement when a girls puts these leggings on.  I'm here, now get used to me!  I also appreciate the customer service they give you there.  When I called, I wasn't placed on hold, nor did I have to go through a barrage of questions from an automated phone system.  I also love how they laid out their website.  It was really creative and innovative.  Instead of boring copy that describes each product or girls dress, there are fun stories and poems that invoke a magical world… accessible to any girl who wears one of their dresses.  They took the time to create a universe and guess what?  I'm buying it!  I could go on and on about TwirlyGirl, but it really is best if you just experience it yourself, which is why I'm attaching a link.  Just click on it, and you will go to their landing page.  http://www.twirlygirlshop.com

Husband uses girls capri leggings as coffee filter

My husband is either ingenious or an idiot.  Or industrious.  It's hard to tell.  One thing for sure is, the man loves his morning coffee.  He's a complete wreck without it.  Here's proof.  The other day, he woke up cranky and stumbled his way into the kitchen to brew a pot.  When he got there, he realized we were completely out of filters.  Rather than skip a day of joe, or go to a local Starbucks, the man pilfered through the laundry pile and pulled out some girls capri leggings like these.  Girls leggings are appropriate for a lot of things.  Girls can wear them to school, under a dress or a skirt, to church, or to a sleepover, or just while lounging around the house watching TV.  But one thing they should never be used for, is making an espresso!

My husband made himself a nice hot piping carafe, and got his daily caffeine fix.  He then dumped the grounds into the garage and threw the capri leggings into the wash.  The next day, when my girl pulled them out, they were stained completely brown.  The man completely and utterly ruined the leggings. When I pressed the dude on it, he played dumb, then started laughing.  He confessed that he had used the capri leggings for girls as a matter of last resort.  Uh, thanks a lot, bro.  My girl was pretty pissed, and my spouse just thought it was the funniest thing ever.  That is, until I laid some hard science on him:  he would have to buy and even better pair of capri leggings for our girl or face my wrath.

So we did an internet search.  I was determined to find the best pair of girls capri leggings on the planet, and you know what, I think I did just that!  I stumbled upon a really cute site for girls clothing called TwirlyGirl.  All of their clothes are manufactured in the USA, and their selection is super cute.  It was page after page of adorable clothing.  Our girls eyes light up, and you can see Mark's face fall.  He knew he was in for a big shopping spree.  And that's exactly what happened.  We loaded up our cart with lots of girls clothes, including several capri leggings.  The order was delivered a few days later, and we were completely ecstatic with the quality of the merchandise and TwirlyGirl's prompt customer service.  We were so satisfied, I decided to dedicate an entire blog piece to TwirlyGirl.  Plus, it was a slow news week.  LOL!  Here's a link to their website.  Definitely check them out.  Their stuff is so adorable.

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 

Mysterious Girls Capri Leggings Found Under the Couch

File this one under "Mysteries, Unsolved."  Yesterday, my daughter found an old pair of capri leggings like these crumpled in a ball, tucked away behind the couch.  When she unfurled them, we couldn't figure out who they belonged to.  She's the only girl in the house, and certainly I'm too big to fit into these leggings.  I asked her if they could've belonged to one of her friends.  After racking our brains, we couldn't figure out who.  It couldn't be a cousin, or a neighbor.  We really couldn't guess at all.  The style was very funky.  It had mismatched legs, and the fabric was very soft.  Whoever these capris belonged to was certainly missing them because they could not have been cuter!  There was a tag inside, so just to play detective for a few minutes, we decided to do a little more legwork, as it were.  The tag directed us to a website called TwirlyGirl.

Once we visited their website, we had a new problem on our hands.  We checked out their page devoted to girls capri leggings, and although we couldn't find a perfect match for them, we found others very similar.  This made my girl want to buy some.  And when she checked out some of the other dresses and clothes they offered, she wanted to buy them too.  All of their styles were super cute.  The colors and patterns were so vibrant and alive, it made me wish I were still a little girl.  Boy have clothes changed since I was a kid.  Thanks to the internet, you can find whatever you want, as long as you know where to look.  Having a background in marketing, I was also very impressed with the way their marketed their clothes.  All of their dresses and leggings came with a little story or poem describing them.  Sort of a backstory in how it originated.  Of course, it was all made up to be fantastical and whimsical, which made me want to check out their other offerings just to read the creative story behind them!  We were hooked, and to be honest, we wanted to be!  In the end, we never found out who was the original owner of these capri leggings for girls.  But that's ok.  The investigation was fun while it lasted, and we became fans of a great new product.  I'm including a link to their website if you want to check them out for yourself.  Maybe you know a girl who is having a birthday coming up.  A really funky pair of capri leggings might make a cool and unique gift.  They also have a free podcast of original short stories for children, which we found really delightful.  The stories were written by a professional Hollywood screenwriter.  I'm telling you, TwirlyGirl really knows how to make a great first impression.  I dig companies like that!  So here's a link to their store.  Even if you're not in the market for for capri leggings for girls.  You'll admire what they're doing there.
