I forgot about the power of stickers… Until my 2.5 year old LadyP recently reintroduced them to me. If you happen to show up at my house unannounced these days, you will find stickers on my wall, stickers on my tables, stickers stickers stickers everywhere.

FIND! BECO Baby Carrier: All-new Soleil. {video}
I’m won’t lie: I’ve never been a baby-wearing mama. Some might say I once had a vendetta against it (for no good reason, I just don’t like the idea of feeling pregnant all over again after the baby is out).

FUN. Act like a brat for the greater good? Yeah, it works.
