a little swimsuit surgery + disneyland + a little spring reading.

Hey guys!

Sorry I’ve been so scarce around here, but I’ve been CRAZY busy. This past week Fern was sick and then over the weekend I helped give styling tips at a blogger meet-up and since then I’ve been packing and prepping for our trip to L.A. this week as well as scheduling out a zillion blog posts because I am in serious need of a digital break. Blogging for Disney Baby, Babble Toddler, Babble Beauty AND sometimes here (when I finally get around to it – sorry!) means that I spend far too many hours in front of a computer screen, so I’ve been planning ahead to make sure I get all my posts done ahead of time so I can just relax.

The reason I will be heading to L.A. is for a work thing with Disney and my sweet mama was so gracious to offer to come along and hang out with Fern while I work. When I’m done though, we’ll be staying a few extra days to visit family and take Fern to Disneyland for the first time! I’m super excited about it – and although I realize she won’t remember the trip, she’ll still enjoy it…all the bright colors and sounds and characters…I’m excited to see how she reacts!

Anyway…this means I’m taking a little break here for the week, but before I go I wanted to share the little swimsuit surgery my friend Echo and I performed on Fern’s swimsuit for our trip as well as share a few links with you…

This is the look I was going for… (I want this swimsuit in grown-up size!)

I can’t wait for her to wear it while lounging by the pool…and I can’t wait to tell you all about our trip when we get back! But until then, thanks for understanding my need for a little break (keep up with us over at Instagram while we’re gone because I’ll definitely be “overgramming” – my username is @thelittlethingswedo)

Here’s a few links to some extracurricular reading while I’m away (since I’m not doing so hot on my traffic goals this month…feel free to read up and help a girl out!)…
