Does this sound familiar: “I want the Pink NOO IIIIII WANT THE PINK!!!”?
If so, help is on the way: PrincessLovesPink has learned that The Crayola Store lets you customize 64-packs of crayons. So, you can pack ‘em full of pink.
Recommended: Razzle Dazzle Rose, Cotton Candy, Tickle Me Pink and Carnation Pink (left). Crayola Custom Box: $10.99.

Yes that’s right: Today, June 23, is dedicated to the color pink. Though there is not a lot of info out there about the historical meaning of National Pink Day, why not celebrate with LP?
Ours has been begging for glasses (despite consistent perfect-vision tests) which got me thinking: How cute are pink glasses?
I saw these pink glasses from Laura Ashley (Sweet Pea Glasses they come in “Pink Sugar” and “Brown Sugar”) and thought they were a perfect way to celebrate NPD (and every day). I won’t be getting these for our LP (because, as mentioned, she does not need them!) but if she did, I would.

Confession: This will be more fun for you than it is for your child:
Step 1: Have a bunch of little stickers on hand.
Step 2: Go to DLTK’s site, pick a princess chart and put her “goals” on it.
(Hint: Make goals positive , like “set table,” not “no yelling at the table”–it’s impossible to reward something she’s not doing.)
Step 3: Write into the top chart-cells what she’ll get if she fills the chart up with stickers like: “Fill in, the chart, and you’ll, get ______!”
Print, stick it on the fridge. Like magic, your LP will set the table, brush her teeth, and go to bed without a fuss (well, the first 2 anyway). Good luck!

Some nailpolish has some pretty scary ingredients, like formaldehyde…
Not good for the Little Princess. We tried nontoxic No Miss (pictured) and found it delicious — and it now comes in glittery colors!
No Miss Polish $8. Other non-toxic polish: Sula in Perfect Pink (thanks to GirlieGirlArmy for this tip!), and Piggy Paint (thanks to Earth911).

These gorgeous mermaid princesses are hand-crafted with love by a wonderfully talented artist-writer friend who sent LP one.
When our Little Princess opened the box, I could practically hear her heart pounding. LP clasped the wee ‘Maid her little chest and said:
“Oh Mama! This is so special to me!” And they really are that amazingly special.
I am hanging hers over her bed as a princess-mermaid dream catcher to ensure only lovely, pink, mermaid-y, princess-y dreams. Princess Mermaid, $18 at Etsy.

First saw Huckleberry Baby at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market — the cutest possible clothes and accessories.
Now that summer’s coming, the lookout is on for Hats LP Will Actually Wear. This one is 1) pink & 2) soft. Bing!
Huckleberry Baby Reversible Sun Hat $25.

This is Posh Tot’s “Princess Diana,” outfit but it looks to some like Lil’ Cinderella.
The front-apron reminds me of a Rudolf Dreikers quote I read in Positive Discipline: “Don’t do anything for a child that a child can do for herself.” Wise words, no?
Posh Tots Corset and Skirt $228.

It’s time to go. But Little Princess says she’s “not ready.” It’s “too cold.” And she’s “waaay too tired.” And why can’t she bring blankie in the car? She PROMISES not to lose it.
Mama’s too savvy to fall for that. A new idea: the Car Blankie. Just like Home Blankie, but it lives in the car. (Warning: Do not allow Car Blankie out of the car. You know why.)
Cozy for car-naps. Toasty for pre-dropoff. Heart-ed and sweetly personalized for your Little Princess. ButterscotchBlankees $125.00

I long resisted the idea that if you “dress up” food, kids will eat it. Turns out though, it really works.
Case in point: The Grilled Cheese Example. Untouched after the old “offer it 5-10 times to let her get used to it” routine. Next day, same sandwich, gobbled down with glee after being punched into a star, moon, and well — you can see the picture.
Don’t throw away the “wasted” scraps around the shape because you know Daddy will eat them. Pink Tiara Cookie Cutter: about $2.
