I think sometimes it’s easy to “forget” about the importance of older siblings in all the excitement of babies & toddlers. It’s easier to send the older ones off to play video games or play with friends. I’ve tried this year to make a bigger effort in making my older step-children feel as if they have ample amounts of our love & time. I got our oldest daughter this “Big Sister” ornament to remind her of her special place in our family. It’s neat what you can find on sites that are geared towards personalized baby gifts. The owner must have an older child too that needs to feel special at times.

For all you post-holiday shoppers, Toys R Us is having an online sale of up to 60% off all clearance items. Now is a great time to pick up some early birthday gifts or even Christmas gifts for next year. I love sales, but today, I am staying in and enjoying the rest of my four-day vacation. Shopping will simply have to wait until later.

Every superhero needs a cape, so why not give your sweet boy Batman pajamas that have a cape attached. It’s the perfect way to send your caped crusader off to bed at night.

Children’s Place is offering glacier fleece for only $8 right now and they offer $5 shipping. What a great time to stock up on fleece for the upcoming winter months. Pair that with a Holiday sale offering up to 30% off and I am one happy Momma.

Well blog readers, the year has flown by amazingly fast. I can’t believe that December is upon us and that means that the holiday season is rapidly approaching. My goal for this blog, in the next few weeks, is to hopefully share some great sites for shopping and some fabulous gift ideas for the little ones in you life. The time that you share with them is the most precious, so enjoy them while you can!

I am getting to where I like to shop at Target more and more. They have some very cute Holiday outfits on their website right now and it makes me want to go snatch every one of them up. I looking for an outfit for my nephew to coordinate with his sister’s Strausburg dress. Oh,  the joys of putting together matching outfits so we can TRY to get a good enough picture to send out with Christmas cards. I can’t tell you how many stores I went to last year trying to piece these outfits together. Why me you ask? I do this for my sister because they are really short of money and as an Aunt, I can spend money on my “kids” to make sure that they are just dah-ling!
