Big Bear Babes

A few weeks ago we traveled about 2 hours northeast to visit the city of Big Bear. Having grown up in the midwest, I was yearning to share some seasonal weather with my Cali babies.  So we rented a cabin on Air BNB (contact me if you want details) and headed out.  To take full advantage of the setting, we planned a Christmas card look to pair with their porch swing.  The girls immensely enjoyed themselves and I feel confident in saying this will become a winter tradition.  What do you like to do to get into the winter spirit? Leave your answer in the comments section below!

Outfits:
Dresses - Nununu

Stars Hold the Stripes

One of the reasons I have no problem dropping a little extra on Nununu's clothing? Their designs are incredibly flexible in sizing. Case in point: here is Remy in Zara's 18-24 month bathing suit.  Also? How good is Remy's posing getting?? No coaching, she just started doing it...proud mom! Hahaha!

Outfit Details:

Bathing Suit - Nununu (older style...similar one here)

Weirdo Kids

I have the pleasure of having Nicole of Drawings by Nicole in my local mom tribe.  Her Etsy shop started with prints and has exploded into an array of pins and shirts, most of which are parenting themed.  Last weekend she graciously left us some goodies after a pool party, so we took these tees out for a spin at the park.  Check out her shop for a killer section of prime Weirdo Mom and Kid gear!

Outfit Details:
Remy + Zara Shirts - Drawings by Nicole
Remy's Shorts - Target
Zara's Pants - H&M

Orphan Black is one of our favorite shows.  The lead actress, Tatiana Maslany plays 1989872384 parts, as her characters are clones of each other.   For character reference, as some of you may not be familiar with the show, Zara is Sarah Manning:

and Remy is Helena:

Helena, having been raised in the Ukraine, refers to all of her clones as "sestras" as in sisters in Ukrainian.  Ever since finding our we were having a second girl, we have referred to them this way.  So here we go, sestras!

Halloweek . Stranger Things

Happy Halloweek!  This is the first Monday of 5 in October featuring Remy and Zara in costumes.  We are starting with characters from the Netflix show Stranger Things!  Remy's Barb look was mostly vintage plus jeans from Target.  Zara aka Eleven is wearing my sister's handmade dress from the 80s with accessories from Target/Old Navy.  They had so much fun and THANKFULLY no one ended up in the upside down!
