toddler dress - Stuff Parents Need

We have selected Montessori education as the path for our little ones from the toddler years all the way through kindergarten. We love the philosophy behind it, and we appreciate the emphasis that is placed on independence. This was not something emphasized in my home growing up, and even as an adult I find myself too quick, sometimes, to rely on help from others rather than trying to solve a problem myself. I want Darah and Layah to be confident about their own abilities to solve problems and to take care of themselves.

Today I’m featuring a new clothing company called Cuteheads (products made in the USA!) that emphasizes allowing children to dress themselves. The clothes are easy to take on and off and can mix and match easily with one another to create multiple outfit combinations that kids will love and that moms and dads will approve!

Darah is really enjoying the Forget Me Not dress in Lavender (ARV $36). It is sized generously which means that it is quite easy for her to get on all by herself. It also means that she’ll probably still fit into it even after she outgrows most of her other 3T items. That’s a plus for me!

In addition to selecting her own hair bows (hey, why have just one when you can have two?!), she also identified the matching Little Legs leggings in lavender (ARV $16) in her pants drawer and made the match herself. High five, Darah!

Darah has been pairing both the dress and the pants with other items in her wardrobe, as well. The pieces are popular with her because she likes the colors, but more importantly, because they are comfortable and she knows she can get them on all by herself.

Cuteheads has a great selection of tops, bottoms, tunics and dresses for your little girl to mix and match. Definitely check them out and consider some of their pieces for holiday gifts this year!

Win it!: One lucky Stuff Parents Need reader will win an outfit of their choice from Cuteheads!

We just returned from a fantastic trip back to Memphis, where we lived off and on for 10 years before landing in Chattanooga. While I was there I visited a good friend of mine who is passionate about beautiful and unique fabrics and has opened up her own sewing and fabric shop.

Even though I do not personally sew, I still felt completely mesmerized by the walls of fantastic prints. I’d never seen anything like them, and each and every one would make something absolutely gorgeous. It was like an awesome Etsy store’s supply shop! 🙂

When it comes to fashion for little girls, fabric really can make or break the dress. I know I’m not the only one who has swooned at adorable frocks that you might find from time to time at craft fairs or online, and they always are made with unique fabrics in colors that pop. And today I want to introduce you to a store that is overflowing with all this cuteness.

Introducing House of Minerva. We have a dress from this shop and it is the perfect fall statement piece, as here in the South the squirrels are gathering acorns at a feverish pace this time of year!

The pattern of the dress is adorable. The fit is fantastic. And the fabric! Oh, the fabric!!!

I can’t help but smile every time I see Darah in her House of Minerva dress. And that is quite often, as it is one of her favorites!

If you have a little one, you simply MUST check out the toddler dresses. So stinkin’ cute! The one Darah is modeling is out of stock, but it retailed for $34.00 like most of the other dresses in stock.

And if you don’t have a little one to shop for, don’t despair, as there are MANY cute finds for you or a friend, too! I’m currently swooning over this adorable cosmetic bag (just $12!).

House of Minerva also takes care of their customers in some really fun ways. If you post a picture on their Facebook wall of you with any HoM creation, they will send you a 15% off coupon for your next purchase! Additionally, they offer other rewards for helping get the word out about their site, so be sure to read up on all the ways you can share and earn!

So hop on over and check out the fantastic selection of products at House of Minerva. I guarantee you that you’ll see fabrics that are new to you and that will make you positively giddy!
