James is one lucky kid! Not only does he have an awesome golden retriever doggy named Lola, but he has a cool mom who knows how to dress him! Going against “traditional” boy style, she takes any opportunity to add some uniqueness and pizazz to his outfits. In particular, she loves the color purple and creating lots of layers. She makes sure to keep his clothes comfy though, as James is on the move and can’t be slowed down!

And we can’t wait to see how Mom dresses James’ new baby brother….

Catch him while you can! Tristan kicked off fall with a trip to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect one to become his jack-o-lantern. But now that Christmas is here, he has been busy decorating his tree and of course writing a letter to Santa. And as the best big brother to his sister, Riley, he wrote one on her behalf too. He can certainly expect some goodies in his stocking this year!

We are so excited to show you some of our favorite Halloween pictures of the Mini’s you sent us! We loved seeing all the costumes and hope you enjoy them too! Happy Halloween!

 

While we love a good costume, we feel dressing up shouldn’t be saved for one day! So, we picked out some fun pieces to add to your Mini’s everyday outfits, inspired by the costumes below. Your Mini is special, so let them show the world how!

We don’t know what we love more about Kayden! His awesomely unruly blonde curls, his adorable giraffe backpack, or his hippie cool amber necklace!? He has it all! And loves to do it all! Here, he is waiting for the train to take him to the zoo, but he also loves buses and airplanes! Not to mention playing with his toy cars and animals!

The editor’s of Parents Magazine gave us a challenge and we took it on! We found the best pieces for Fall under $50 by sifting through hundreds of samples until we found our favorites!

When we tell you there were hundreds of samples piled in our office we are not kidding!!

There are really some great deals out there confirming there is no need to break the bank for back to school.

Check them out in Septembers issue of Parents Magazine out now!
