First Time Mom and Losing It

**I was invited to the event below and given a gift bag. All opinions are 100% my own.

This past Saturday my daughter and I headed out to the city to meet up with Santa. We went to the west side into the beautiful Lord & Taylors store. It was my first time there and I was amazed at how big the store was. It was fun for the toddler to go up seven flights of escalators. When we finally got to the 7th floor we headed on over to the Little Me section of the store and looked through hundreds of amazingly cute clothes. I went over to the newborn section and "awwww-ed" over the tiny little clothes.


There was a line to see Santa so my daughter patiently waited for her turn. While we were on the line the amazing staff from Little Me handed my daughter a cute gift bag with a whole bunch of goodies inside. They also had some yummy cookies with the Little Me logo. My daughter polished a whole one while we waited on line. Finally it was time to talk with Santa and he gave my daughter a whole conversation, made her dance and complimented the Candy Cane Glitter shirt I made.


Little Me was also generously monogramming every item of clothing purchased for free. Being a sewer myself I loved watching the two staff members at their sewing machines. There were so many beautiful clothes to choose from. My favorites were the pajamas. They had so many different ones from the standard two piece stretchy kind to the beautiful flannel and plaid ones. The plaid flannel nightgown would look adorable on any little girl on Christmas night.


Little Me specializes in clothing for Newborns and Infants. While at the Lord & Taylors store I also saw lots of pajamas for the other kids that went up to a size 10. My husband's best friend will be a father to twin girls in March so we will definitely be back to Little Me at Lord & Taylors for a couple of outfits for those little angels.

This has got to be the best time of year for both my husband and I. Since we are both first time parents it's super exciting to see our daughter get excited about Christmas time. Every time she sees Santa, reindeer or Christmas trees I can see her little smile from cheek to cheek. She saw Santa for the first time last week at a mall and was so excited to see him that she ran to him and gave him a hug. We got such great shots for our Christmas cards.

In keeping with the Santa theme and her excitment I was thrilled when I got to review a Personalized Letter from Santa package from SantaWillWrite.com.

I got to review the Deluxe Page which includes: 

• Personalized letter just for your child
• Shiny red huge envelope with fancy address label art
• Santa's TRUE signature on every letter
• MAGIC Santa dust in every letter
• High quality original stationery
• Newly written letters each year your children will always remember
• Postage stamp from NORTH POLE

As soon as I saw the bright red envelope I knew the letter from Santa had arrived. When I showed my daughter the envelope she saw the stamp from the Northpole and screamed out Santa! I opened up the envelope and showed her the letters. I told her this one was from Santa and read it to her. 

Then I explained that the next letter was from Rudolph and read that one to her too. I showed her how Rudolph had stamped the letter with his hoof. She thought that was hilarious! :)

Next came the Nice Certificate which I explained to her it was for her being nice throughout the year. I told her the things she does that are nice like bringing her dishes to the kitchen and picking up her toys. I can also see myself mentioning the certificate whenever she does something that is not so nice ;). 

I really loved the quality of the paper and the brightness of the pictures and the colors. They really did carry out the theme with the envelope, stamps and signature on the letters. My daughter loved the stickers that came with it too. We also got a little board game that we will be playing with when her cousins come over. 

I think that it is pretty special and a great way to start the Christmas season. This would also be great for kids that are a little older and starting to question Santa.
