So, we decided to do a week of BIG sales. Day #1- Ellens 50% off, Day #2- Buy Pants and get shirt free, Day #3-$30 off Born To Be Wild Skirt and Shirt Set...If you missed these sales, stay tuned to see what else may go on sale.

Good times seeing Santa this weekend:)

And Good Times at Gymnastics :)

Have a great week and remember to check out our facebook page to see what the sales for the rest of the week will be!

Rocco's room is officially ready. We are missing one piece of furniture and the Wild Sorbet frames need some cute little pictures of Rocco in them :) The train is up and running and (I must say) is my favorite part of the room. It is loud, but Ava (and Daddy) love it too!! Here is one pic!


We had a nice time having breakfast with Santa at the zoo on Saturday. It is fun because Ava loves Santa and doesn't cry anymore :) It melts my heart to watch her with him...she tells him she has been good...and all the things she wants. She says Rudolph was her favorite :)

And I had to post one last prego pic...

Tonight we are off to Tilles Park for a horse and carriage ride to watch the lights. We are excited to be going with dear friends and excited to freeze our bottoms off...if I don't post next week, I'm still frozen :)

How did a week go past and I didn't even blog? Where does the time go? I have been so busy doing custom orders, getting ready for xmas (in case little Rocco comes earlier than expected), being a mom, and everything else...


Since Thanksgiving passed, I can't help but to name a few things that I am thankful for.
1) The opportunity to be a mom. Ava brings so much laughter and joy to our house; I can't even put it into words. (and Yogi too)
2) A loving husband that works so hard and allows Ava and I to have the most amazing life. Thanks honey :)
3) Parents who are the perfect role models . They have taught me how to love and what family is all about!
4) Health and Happiness. I am so blessed to have a healthy family and such wonderful friends that bring so much happiness to my life!!
5) Wonderful customers :)


Speaking of wonderful customers...thanks to all of you who sent in pics of your lil' princesses. They were ALL so adorable! I couldn't have dreamed of having so many cuties wearing Posh P clothes! The contest was so close and came down to the last few minutes. Thanks to everyone who voted too. We had over 250 votes!! Congrats to Aubrey (1st place), Graycen (2nd place), and Averi (3rd place)!





The picture below is a picture that Ava made with her hands that I wanted to share. I found this place off of Main Street and LOVE it. She got to pick out her design, her colors of paint, and her frame color. They used her hands to make this adorable monkey! We hung it up in her play room. The place is called MyHandyWorks. If you are feeling crafty, stop by and check it out :)
The last pic is a pic of Ava and her Mimi at the movie Tangled. We weren't sure how Ava would do wearing the 3-D glasses for the entire movie. She loved it (and we loved it too ;)



BTW, if you are wondering about my blog title, this is Ava's favorite song. We have to listen to it a MILLION times a day. And when we aren't listening to it, the song is in my head. How do you even spell it...who knows...

Out of This World Contest

Wow! I couldn't have dreamed of having so many cuties wearing Posh Principessa clothes. There are 23 kiddos in our Fall 2010 Contest with about 250 votes so far :) The contest will end November 19th at 8:00 am ;)

Here is a picture of one of the cutest little babies in the world wearing her first Posh outfit. She is my first niece, Ella :) So cute!!!! I'm dying to meet her!

Okay Moms...you can relate... kids are hilarious! There isn't a day that goes by that Ava doesn't make me laugh! This week, she has really been cracking me up :) The first pic is a picture of her walking around with a "baby in her belly". The second pic is a picture of her with this crazy outfit on. When I asked her what she had on, she explained... that her pants wouldn't button so she needed the shorts on over her jeans (so she was wearing a "bella band" just like her mom, ha). The last picture melted my heart. She made a bed for her, her baby, and Yogi. They were "taking a nap". Sweet ;)

So, another part of motherhood that I love is watching Ava and her daddy play. This next pic shows Daddy and his mini-me. We bought Ava some scrubs so she could be just like her daddy.

Every night when Ava and I are playing, we listen for the famous honk. When we hear it, we know daddy is home and we have to run and hide. We put Yogi outside quick so she doesn't see where we go. I used to hide with Ava, although now I don't fit in too many spaces. Then the hunt begins. Yogi always helps daddy and takes him right to where Ava is :( The pic below is a pic of our best spot yet. Yogi took Daddy right to the hamper. He laughed and said "I know she isn't in there" and he left the room. FINALLY, we tricked him...

Enjoy your laughing moments with your kids this week!!!!

Posh Principessa Fall 2010 Contest

CONTEST TIME...

I was looking through some of the new photos that have been sent to us of your Posh Principesse. We just LOVE seeing your princesses in Posh Principessa clothes!! So, we thought what a great reason to have a contest. We know all of the pics are going to be adorable... Email your favorite picture of your little one in a Posh Principessa dress, skirt, pants, or tie to poshprincipessa@gmail.com. One picture per child please :) We will post the picture on our facebook page. Whichever picture has the most likes at the end of the contest will win a $50 gift certificate. Remind your friends that they must be a fan of our page to "like" the picture. The contest will start November 8th and end November 19th. The gift certificate can not be used on prior purchases. Good Luck ;)



We also wanted to post this fun picture of our Posh Principessa skating for the first time at the skating rink. She went around three times and I loved every minute of it. She was trying so hard and was so brave ;) She wanted to be like the "big" kids!

Happy Halloween

My mom always made the most AMAZING costumes for my sister and I. Every year, my sister got to pick what she wanted to be and I was lucky enough to get to wear that costume the following year. Well, I finally got to pick my very own in the year of 1987...and I picked Fredbird. My mom worked and worked on it...Fredbird I was ;)

Ava, Daddy, and I were surprised at Mimi's house on halloween when Fredbird opened the door to greet us ;) Looking back now, I am amazed at my mom's talent and the time she spent to make this from scratch, with no pattern. Thanks Mom for being the best at everything you do ;)


Ava had fun trick-or-treating! She had quite a few parties this week, dance, her babysitters, trick-or-treating at the Meadows, Boo at the Zoo, and trick-or-treating on Sunday. Candy...candy...candy...

Few more months until little baby Albanese comes. His room is almost ready...just waiting on the furniture. Super excited to show some pics when it is ALL complete :) Couldn't help but to post this sign that I saw at the Magic House this week. I have been to the Magic House a lot the last few years and have never seen this before. This time, the sign jumped out at me...

Posh Principessa will be at lots of upcoming holiday events. This week we will be at Kirkwood United Methodist Preschool (on the 3rd and 4th), Finders Keepers (the evening of the 4th), and at the Columns in St. Charles (on the 5th). Next week we will be at Elliott preschool and the Webster Groves Holiday Bazaar. Contact us for more information.

Work and Play

We had a great time meeting lots of new customers and seeing some "regular" customers at the Ladue Early Childhood Center Show last week. We also really enjoyed meeting one very talented lady, Emma! (I have said this all along my Posh Principessa journey, meeting local- talented women, business owners is one of the many perks of Posh Principessa.) So, lets talk about Emma...besides she is the sweetest lady, she makes the custest Snap Stories. These books are unique, durable, and simply adorable. Each page in the book has self-adhesive tape around it. So, after you place your own PERSONAL picture, you pull the self-adhesive tape and complete the book. She has every "story" you would need...birthday...girlfriends...baby...adventures, etc. Check these books out at http://www.snapstories.com/. What a fun stocking stuffer or gift!!!


Prego me at the event :)

So, as you know...I'm not all work, I do like to play. This week Mimi, Ava, and I played at the circus. We had so much fun, I was sad when the day was over. Ava's favorite part of the circus was watching the elephant paint; I loved the motorcyles in the ball, and (as you can tell) Mimi liked the tall guy on stilts :)

One of Many Basketball Lessons From Papa

This picture just melts my heart. As many of you know, back in the day...I used to play basketball (and then coach). This was before I learned to sew ;) My dad gave me many many many basketball lessons (he does still hold the scoring record at his high school...he knows "his stuff" :) So, when he was patiently showing Ava how to shoot tonight, and she was really listening, I couldn't get the camera fast enough. Love Love this pic!!

So many things to write about this week...in case you didn't see on facebook, Laurie Nowling entered my living room wall display into the Wild Sorbet contest. It won first place in the home category, so it (with Ava in her Posh P. clothes) will be in their next catalog! :)



If you haven't already, stop by Lollitops off of Main Street in St. Charles. They carry a wide selection of our fall clothing line AND have the most adorable coordinating hats to match. They also have a kiosk with a wide Posh P. selection in West County mall next to Gymboree.

This beautiful weather will put a smile on anyone's face!! Ava and I had a nice day at the butterfly house seeing the owl butterflies (who knew there was such a thing). But, we had even more fun at the park outside the butterfly house.

This pic is so my loving, sassy Ava...I had to post it. I just love her so much ;)

We made it to Theis pumpkin patch. It is definately worth going to. There is so much for the kiddos to do. Although, I have to say...we (Ava and I) went into one of the mazes. It was REALLY scary...pitch black...I was starting to have a panic attack...trying to stay calm...luckily a 10 year old behind us had a flash light...I literally begged him to stay next to me until we got out.

The zip wire...fun, fun, fun!

This is our limited edition "White Christmas" dress that is now available. Size 3 is already sold out. Place your order today. You can find out under the Fall 2010 tab at www.poshprincipessa.com!

First Time for Everything

Wow...I have never been apple picking before yesterday...I LOVE it! We had the best time ever!! It was quite a journey to get there, but well worth every minute. The play area, the apple cider, hot cocoa, the pumpkins, picking the apples, eating the candy apples, etc. So fun!! (and I just can't wait to make apple pancakes and baked apples today!!) Here are a few pics...

Apples for sale :)


This was taken right before they all tumbled down :)


Riding the tractor/wagon to pick our first apples :)


Picking an apple with Dad.

Enjoying her first apple.

Mommy and Ava having fun on the swing.

On to Posh...we are now accepting Discover, Visa, and Mastercard!! All of our fall line is available and selling fast. Thanks so much to my wonderful customers and for all of the amazing feedback. We will also have Posh in two new locations: It Boutique in New Town @3237 Rue Royale #1, St. Charles 63301, 636-916-2007 AND Three Little Clementines will be at local shows this season.

Oh and check out yet another cute pic taken by Laurie. What a hunk...

Working on our spring line. We have the sketches done and a lot of the fabric picked out. Although, the fabric selections have changed at least a thousand times :) I truly have a fabric addiction.

Enjoy wearing those sweatshirts this week :)

Fall is Here!

We posted many one-of-a-kind items and some spring items on sale this week. Check them out under our Sale tab on our website. Available only while supplies last! We also have the majority of our fall line available for same day shipping.

Fall has officially arrived. We had a blast this summer, although we are excited for cooler weather, the pumpkin patches, sweatshirts, hot cocoa, and turning on the fireplace :) Take a look at our first trip to the pumpkin patch this fall. Ava had a blast...she got to eat her first candy apple, picked out her very own pumpkin, swing, go done the slide, play in the corn, pet the animals...

Happy Fall :)

Fun New Items in the Posh Principessa Family

Here are a few new items that are on our website. We LOVE the new burnout tees with the ties. The tie can be an actual tie sewn to the shirt at the top or a vintage tie with the frayed edges sewn to the shirt. These are great for pictures, can be worn casually, or dressy. Perfect for layering this fall ;) The other new item is one of my new favorite Ellen dresses, One Fine Day. The retro look makes it fun and funky!!

We had a fun weekend. We went to see Princesses Disney On Ice. Ava loved her snow cone, seeing Minnie and Mickey, and Cinderella. Good times :)

Here are two pics that were taken by Laurie Nowling Photography. I just love them :) Laurie is booking up fast for the fall. Her fall weekends are already booking into mid November, so call today for your appointment!!
