Last minute "Easter Bunny" mommy

So I know I'm WAY late, meaning 10:48 p.m. aka... hours before the easter bunny or as Caprice says "Easter" will come and make his or maybe even, her grand debut into your home for you to maybe possibly make this Egg Carton Cross with your mini.... BUT I guess that sums up how totally last minute I am when it comes to this holiday!!!

I will blame it on work and being busy with Stella. I mean for Christmas, I had Caprice's advent calendar planned and the agenda TYPED out color coordinated all ready to go December 1st. I can thank
maternity leave and Stella for being born around that time for that one! Well today, the day before Easter, I made it to The Dollar Tree, which oh my PS is the best place for times like this. I filled Caprice's basket for $20! Ummmm hello score... Greatest stuff for a toddler there! And I even got the paint and pom pom balls there too to make this craft. I'm realizing now though that I didn't take step by step pictures to post the "How To" part but it's pretty basic and can be copied from the few pics I got. I'm completely new to this blogging thing as you can tell. I will get better at thinking ahead, I promise..

I found this on Pinterest this morning when I was frantically searching for something Easy and Cheap to do! This is seriously just that. I love the cross because it symbolizes the importance of this special holiday and she is completely obsessed with paint right now!

Ok here's how//
Cut out an egg carton into a cross, 6 down and 3 across. One of my childhood friends, Jessica was visiting from Georgia or as Caprice says "Auntie Jeff".. Well that's another story that we just don't have time for, but she thought of the brilliant idea to spray paint it first before painting it, which was a FAB idea and really much cuter then my inspiration one especially since I had some in the garage.. Once that is done all you need to do next is get some paint and let your mini go to town on that sucker! Once Caprice started painting it, she was in heaven and completely focused. Loved that part obviously..

I then put glue down for her to add the little pom pom balls and glitter and voila all done! So perfect for her to do... I'm hoping next year I'll be more prepared, but maybe the last minute impromptu things are the best to do...and most memorable..

|| Here is also a few pics from Easter morning.. Happy Easter everyone! Hope you have a great day with your families ||

BINK Kids OOTD

 Since we are new to the blog world... and have NO IDEA what we are doing...we thought it would be fun to start with the kiddos. I have to admit, I'm a little scared of the blog world...and maybe that is why I have started 4-5 blogs and never done more then a few posts on it...yes I know I have a problem... but I find Binkies to be different for me.

 With that said, we wanted to share a few our favorite outfits from this Party of Five."The BINK Kids"

As you can see Brooke and I have a love for prints, color, and of course accessories...so it seems to rub off on what we put on our girls...as for my son, Tristen... my husband dresses him...aka HIS MINI ME.

Little Modern Man Room

Being an interior stylist... yes stylist just sounds better to me...I am always changing things in my home and closet. I had designed this board with my little man in mind and hope to put it to use within the next year.

The Mommies behind BB

Hi and welcome to our little blog! Here you will find two mommies mixing fashion, kids, and ALL the pretties that come in between our magical journey of motherhood. We hope to inspire you just as we have been inspired by others...

Meet Brooke//
I'm a 32 year old mommy of two girls named Caprice who is "2 and a half" (quoted by her) and my new little BINK is Stella who is 5 months old.  God has blessed me with the greatest gift and job as many of you can relate to... Being a mom... Seriously indescribable.. Right? He also has blessed me with a pretty amazing husband named Ryan who has to be in my opinion the B.E.S.T dad ever and probably needs to win an award. But again, we probably all think that about our husbands. He is an LA County Firefighter/Medic and makes the crazy commute from San Diego where we live. We met in high school and have been together 12 years. My second job is being an elementary school teacher where I teach 1st grade. I love kids and if I have to have a job that takes me away from my family 40 hours a week, teaching is the greatest because I get 25 kids during the day.. It makes me smile when some call me mom on accident... I even get grandma sometimes too.. got to love that one.. BUT this life that I have would not have happened if it wasn't for my Mom..my bestest friend if that's even a word. I just hope to be the mom to my girls that she has been to me and I PRAY that they will love me like I love her...

Meet Holly//
I'm a 31 year old mommy of three. My daughter Jaiden (aka JG ) is 6 1/2 years old...she is one of the sweetest little girls I know... and has a heart of gold. My son is ALL boy! Tristen is 3 1/2 and knows exactly what to say to me to say yes...I have such a soft spot for my little man. My youngest is Haylow (Hayden Harlow) who is 6 1/2 months...she is a total Daddy's girl...which is just about the cutest thing ever! Being a mom has changed me...and for the better.

My husband, Bobby, and I have been together for 11 years.He is a Firefighter/Medic in North County.  He is my ROCK...and truly knows me better then I know myself. Our first date...I knew I would marry him...and I did:)

I've been a jewelry designer since I was 8 years old and turned it into a full time thing by age 22. I designed jewelry for many Celebs, worked with over 50 boutiques worldwide, and was part of fashion week. Although I don't do all the things I used to in the design world...I still have a great brand and love working from home with my kids.
