Taking a Break

2010-06-03T21:50:00.001-04:00

Taking a break from blogging for awhile. Feel free to come peruse my shop:

www.jlperillo.etsy.com

See what's new (Like these hungry hungry caterpillar shoes!)

What'd you forget?

2010-06-03T05:00:00.002-04:00

We were just at Disney and couldn't fit everything we wanted in our suitcase. Lucky for us Disney has put the most popular items online!! Go to www.disneyparks.com/store to find everything you wanted but didn't get!

BeBeGear

2010-06-02T05:00:00.002-04:00

You know by now how "into" the upcycled craze I am. Once your little girl (or boy!) puts on an upcycled dress or skirt there's no going back. They are about as comfortable and cute as you can get. We just got back from Disney and while there I think Anna wore an upcycled outfit at least once a day (lilblueboo, mudpuddlz, okeedokeekids, sorenlorensendesign and the list goes on!) One thing we took that we adored were upcycled shorts (Mickey & Minnie) from www.bebegear.etsy.com. ADORABLE!! These are so cute and comfy I must get more!! She's also doing cute spaghetti strap dresses and super fun rompers (if you can get your hands on one!) Get there quick, suddenly they are going like wildfire! (Find her on Facebook, probably could get a custom romper if you asked real nice --- like we do!!)

Oh, BTW, check out our shoes on the model above (www.jlperillo.etsy.com)

Shop is Back Open!

2010-06-01T05:12:00.002-04:00

Yay! Finally back open, been closed 2 weeks for vacation but now ready to paint again!! All shops (www.snanimals.com / www.jlperillo.etsy.com and http://www.1000markets.com/users/snanimals)

IPAD

2010-05-26T05:00:00.002-04:00

Looks like I'm going to have to get Anna an Ipad at some point (maybe Christmas?) She has one in her classroom and it's sooooo much easier for her to use. She has trouble using a mouse and they are looking into adaptive equipment to help her there. But with the Ipad, no adaptive equipment needed!

So when I brought my new ipad home last week, Anna picked it up, turned it on, slid to unlock, zipped her finger across the screen and opened an app (that I had dl'd for her) all on her own. Wow, great computer and ever better for special needs!!

So look on craigslist soon for items I will be selling to fund Anna's ipad for xmas campaign! If you haven't seen one yet, get yourself to the apple store to try it out. I got the 3G one and it is AWESOME!!

Well, in addition to the many many snanimals (snanimals.com) shoes that Anna has, she does have quite a few pairs of other brands and styles. This is the shoe that I think we'll be adding next.

LL Bean

2010-03-31T05:58:00.002-04:00

We love spending time at the beach in the summer. That ocean air as you walk the boardwalks at night, nothing quite like it! Just that after a day of sun and fun, it can feel a little cool at night. Not really jacket weather but a little something to cover the little ones up.

I love this lightweight, cotton hoodie from llbean (llbean.com) Great ribbed hoodie in lots of colors is just the thing we need for this summer! $22.50 in infants/toddlers sizes.

Flanimals!

2010-03-06T05:29:00.003-05:00

How could I not post about a book whose name is so close to my shoes (snanimals!) Well, flanimals pop up is available for preorder on Amazon for $13.95 and looks super fun!

Here's what Amazon has to say:

They're grotesque. They're absurd. They're so ugly they're cute - and they could only be spawned by the mind of award-winning comedian Ricky Gervais. From a planet far away, these bizarre and whimsical beasts - from the ferocious airborne Bletchling to the badly behaved Grundit to the fatally timid Splunge - spring to life in the droll and off-the-cuff prose of a writer who some may liken to a latter-day Edward Lear. Then again, some may find these grossly amusing creatures simply-gross. And whose fault is that? Just remember: don’t pull a tab just because you’ve been told to!

Rose Petal Ruffle Bikini

2010-03-05T15:35:00.003-05:00

Well at $58 it's a bit pricey but I do love this rose petal skirtini from www.chasing-fireflies.com. Lots of cute items in their latest catalog, check them out online!
