Originally I wanted vibrant colors but after seeing her in this dress I just knew this was going to be the one. For the hair I did cute side braided headband. I decided to do the braid to avoid fly away (so the hair doesn't stick up).

Too Cool for Bullying by mommybakesnj

This week my toddler's school focused on bullying. The kids came in wearing sunglasses to represent "Too Cool for Bullying". The children became aware of what bullying is and how to stand up against bullying. There is ZERO Tolerance for any bullying period in school and I for one teach my kids at a young age to stick up to bullies instead of joining them.

Recap of Girls Night Out w/ Kylie's Passion for Fashion

Girls Night Out at The Shops at Riverside last night was great! I had an amazing time with my little fashionista. For next year I will plan to be there earlier since we ended up in a long line. The wait was worth it though. We were greeted with a bag of goodies and after we were each given a pink flower. We then had our photo taken by the photographer for BC magazine (http://bcthemag.com/).

Pumpkin picking places in NJ

My top 3 places to go pumpkin picking in NJ are as follows;

Demarest Farm (Hillsdale,NJ)- Picture above was taken at the Demarest farm, its the spot where we take our babies yearly pictures ;). I like that it has bunch of cute little things for the kids
and fresh market. We visit the farm mainly because of their warm delicious apple cider donuts. For more info please visit: http://demarestfarms.com/

Fall is here, outdoor activities listed below

The days of going to the park are coming to an end as the weather begins to plummet down. The great thing is that it's a "pumpkin everything" season and I can't tell you how much I love that.

In the next couple of weeks I plan to share some of my favorite things to craft and cook with pumpkins. Of course I will first list some popular locations to go pumpkin picking.

DIY Chalkboard by mommybakesnj

I have been looking to do a chalkboard for a long time. My main concern was where would I create this space and how big was I looking to go. I finally made up my mind and decide that door in our family room was the perfect place. 

Kylie's passion for fashion
