Sometime in the last few months this car, truck and spiderman-loving tom-girl of ours decided to change her tune. Sure, she'll still get excited when she hears an airplane flying by, but recently her interest have taken a turn for the girly. Ever since Nana bought MM her first fairy costume, she's been addicted to all the tulle. Most days, she asks to wear her tutu- no matter what the occasion. And you can often find her turning her aunties into a dog, or duck or some other barnyard animal with her magic wand and sing-songy: bippity-boppity-boo!

Typically, we just throw her tutu on over the outfit of the day- overalls, leggings, jeans etc. So when I found this adorable, personalized leotard from Leotudes, I knew it would be just perfect for our girls' new penchant for princess skirts. Recently we set up our new teepee outside and spent a beautiful summer night twirling around in the backyard.

Turns out: tutus and teepees and tootsie pops do one happy Maddie make.
