You know that big wooden mural at the corner of Beechwood Drive and Meadowlark Road on Paso’s east side? The one of the little girl in the floral farmhouse dress with the big frilly collar who’s sitting next to a boy in overalls, sweetly holding a bouquet of flowers?
Such a charming Paso Robles staple, right? Well, Facebook helped me unveil the story behind it. And here’s how it happened!
Once upon a time there was a mom who had two children.
After the birth of Baby #1, the mom’s family and friends got super cute baby announcements printed on nice stationary after a lovely newborn sesh with professional photographer.
After the birth of Baby #2, the mom’s family and friends got … the most sincere Facebook post she could muster between toddler tantrums and a newborn attached to her 24/7.
My 3 and 5 year old kids love these toys. They can squirt the water all the way to the bathroom ceiling, lol. They’re fun colors and chunky shapes and I appreciate the detail in the wheels, grill, headlights, etc.
Designed for ages 12mos +, this 10oz cup comes with one of those circular silicone tops where the kids sip the water from the sides of an anti-leak rim that’s also leak resistant. The strawless technology helps my three and five year olds feel like big kids without me actually having to break out the “big kid” cups that spill.
Today we’re reviewing the Thirsty Kids Flip-it Freestyle water bottle we received compliments of Nuby USA. The kids like the prints but I do, too!! Super gender neutral and contemporary patterns. None of that bright primary colored kid stuff that usually rules our house. These are simple, clean designs that I would want to drink out of.
This Letter Crayons Word Building Center is made for ages 3 to 6, which is exciting to find one toy that’s perfect for Clara and Wyatt’s range. I love the multilevel aspects of learning! There are lots of bright colors, and color sorting options too if the kids aren’t into spelling at the moment.

December is totally chaotic for us — balloons and tinsel and birthday wrap all in front of the Christmas tree.
And that’s because, for some reason, hubby and I thought having two kids, (two years + three days apart) RIGHT before Christmas was optimal baby-birthin’ time 😂.
But, you know, that’s all ok because this year Walmart’s Adventure Force Utility Vehicles came to the rescue.
