Rompers and Trucks - Our Girlie Little Tomboy

When I first found out that I was having a baby girl, my mind immediately started to daydream about all tea parties, painted nails, and adorable outfits. I had been a boy mama for seven years prior and was ready for some PINK in my life!! Adam, on the other hand, started secretly thinking that we could be raising the next Gabby Reese or some other female sports star. Now that Taylor is 16 months old, she has developed quite the personality of her own, she is the PERFECT mix of girly cuteness and rough and tumble toyboy - as shown in these pic that I snapped all in one afternoon - told you she was busy!!




 We recently discovered The Baby Bird Boutique and I instantly fell in love over their darling handmade rompers, peplums, and jumpers. They have every color imaginable available and are always coming out with fun new designs and prints for holidays. This red Veruka Romper is part of their limited edition Valentine's Day Line and I love it so much it has the cutest sweetheart neck and an open back design that ties around the neck. Winter decided to skip Arizona this year so we just paired the romper with some fringe moccs and a headband, but this could be easily "winterized" with some thick white cable knit leggings and a black sweater and your little sweetheart would be good to go to celebrate the day of love!






 This darling hot pink number is from The Baby Bird Boutique's Solid Peplum Shine Bright Collection It has an open back deign and a tie around the neck too with a sweetheart v neck opening and a wide flare peplum design. The unique thing that I love about this piece is that you can buy it big and wear it as a dress, and then when your little girl grows, it becomes a darling top that you can pair with little ruffle bloomers, shorts, or leggings! What a versatile and genius design.





 This last one is such a heirloom piece - the solid sleeveless bubble jumper from The Baby Bird Boutique. It comes in several classic and traditional colors but I fell in love with this deep plum one. I love the exaggerated bubble romper fit and the wide straps. Again, this could be dressed for color weather with some think tights and a cardigan, but I loved to show off her adorable dimpled arms and knees in this hot little number.

I was just so impressed by the quality and the professionalism of The Baby Bird Boutique. Each item is handmade and you can even see pictures and read bios on their website of all of the seamstresses who make your sweet baby clothes - I loved that personal touch! I'd highly recommend The Baby Bird Boutique for that special everyday or occasion outfit for your little princess - you won't be disappointed! The sweet folks at The Baby Bird Boutique gave me a special discount code to share with all of you - GOFAST for 20% off!

Health Care Options for Todays Modern Families

Let me tell you a story. Brayden's dad got laid off when I was 4 months pregnant - talk about stressful, right? We were both in Real Estate and the market was tanking hard and fast in Arizona. His dad decided to go into residential real estate, which meant that we were responsible for our own health care coverage -ouch. The options were overwhelming and just so costly. We scraped by with a bare bones plan after he was born, that didn't cover much, and had zero prescription coverage. When Brayden was 3 months old he was diagnosed with acid re-flux and his medication was over $150 a month - which is a lot to handle with newborn expenses and only one income.

I wish that there was an option like SingleCare back when we needed it. SingleCare offers savings on prescriptions, dental and vision coverage, and even they have virtual doctors visits available (how neat is that?!)

SingleCare is free to join and you can start saving immediately - simply by presenting your savings card at any of the 35,000 nationwide pharmacies they work with. You can schedule online doctors visits, or visit a SingleCare eye doctor or dentist too. So many ways to save!
The SingleCare website is very user friendly. Type in a prescription drug and it will immediately populate the price for all of the pharmacies nearby. They even have extra coupons that can be applied for additional savings. I couldn't believe how much you could save by shopping around and how easy it was to compare prices via SingleCare.

They have an easily downloadable app that allows you to compare health care costs, without worrying about in-network coverage, deductibles, or coverage limitations. You discover upfront what your healthcare will cost you. In the end, you have more convenient and straight forward coverage options, that help save you money on doctors visits and prescriptions. SingleCare delivers modern healthcare options for today's families. Please let me know what you think about this post - are you interested in learning more? I'd love to hear your thoughts and remember - sign up for SingleCare today!
