WISH LIST WEDNESDAY

Jenni, twin mama extraordinaire from The Foster Family Blog, puts together a WISH LIST WEDNESDAY link up and I decided to jump in on the fun.  Since summer is just a few weeks away, I picked a few goodies that would help make the perfect warm day.

First, something for Gabrielle and Alaina to enjoy - a super cute BBQ table from Land of Nod. 

They're obsessed with their play kitchen so I know they'd go nuts for this too. 

And when the girls are done grilling, they can give the Sprinkles Tide Pool a whirl:

It's the perfect size for our terrace (how posh will Gabrielle & Alaina be having their own "pool" in New York City?) and I know the spray fountains will keep them occupied for hours.

While the girls are busy splashing away, I'll be lounging with a magazine, sipping an Arnold Palmer (I always want to call it a Tom Arnold.  Oops!) in this adorable Crinkle dress I've had my eye on from Boden.

It would look perfect with these Tory Burch sandals that have been calling my name.

And after the girls conk out from all that pool time, I'll slip out of the flats and into these fab Steve Madden Daynty clogs for a night out.

So that's what on my wish list this Wednesday.  How about yours?

YOU TAKEOVER TUESDAY: No, really, you do!

I've been getting lots of e-mails from AFOMFT readers telling me about their stores and the fabulous products they make and I've been trying to figure out a great way to feature them all.  I can't write a post for each one but I can try something new.  Today, you truly will takeover!

With the holidays coming, I thought it would be great to promote all of the great stores, blogs, products, etc. made by YOU!  Sign the McLinky below, let everyone know what you're sharing (Peanut & Pumpkin Design - tees, hats & tutus or AFOMFT - blog about kids products) and then go visit some of the other links. 

Even if you don't have a link you want to post, be sure to check out the ones that get posted.  You never know - you may find the perfect gift for someone on your list or a fun new blog to follow. 

Happy link leaping!
