Dress ups

We went to a Lulu Roe party on Saturday. It was fun! The clothes were all cute fabrics and comfy styles, and there were some great dresses for twirling. If they need a beautiful young model I think we've got just the girl.

It's exactly what I want my kids to know. Plus, they have  free materials  you can use. I download the units I want onto the Kindle so we can read them together on the couch.
