I am not nor have I ever been a girly-girl. I always hated frills and ruffles and most of all, PINK! Not hot pink, love that, but that pale pink that people always connect with baby girls. And for those reasons I always wanted boys first. But alas, I have two girls and my worst fear is becoming reality...they are turning me into a girly-girl (but I'm still not a fan of pale pink)!
So when I was given a $10 gift card to
Plum District (think Groupon but geared towards moms) I had to find something to use it on. Then lo and behold one day they have a deal to a website called
500babies. I went and checked it out and at first all I saw were bows and headbands (which I have plenty of) but then I noticed they had baby leg warmers which I've been wanting to make for some time now but hadn't gotten around to it. Long story short, I bought the deal and then I bought the leg warmers. I am in love with them, they look absolutely adorable on Q and a couple of them even fit Y! The best part is that now I can just put Q on a onesie and a pair of leg warmers and she's set. She loves to grab (and eat) her feet these days but when she's wearing a bulky pair of pants it's pretty impossible for her to do but it's easy with the leg warmers. And did I mention that it makes changing diapers SOOOOO much easier? So much so that I am now considering making a few pair on my own to add to the 4 I purchased because I think my baby girl needs some argyle in her life!

| I know what you're thinking...but they're a rose color, not pink! haha ;) We have also have these in white and hot pink. |
If you think you'd want to make some of your own there are tons of tutorials on the internet, you just buy knee socks (target always has cute prints for like $2.50). But I will admit that I'm clueless as to how they would have made the ruffly ones above. I've stared at them and tried to figure it out but I'm dumbfounded.
