March was a sneaky one! We had our Disney trip at the very end of February, and I blinked and now it’s April! What the heck? My work schedule has been really crazy lately (which is why I haven’t been posting here as much as I usually do) and we had spring break.
So here’s our Family Favorites for the light-speed month of March!
Lauren
Flower Power!
I am very boring when it comes to how I dress. The majority of my closet is black and grey. I have no idea what is causing me to gravitate to all these flowery things this month, but I just am! I have never purchased so many prints (and flower prints at that!) in my LIFE. Flower patterned scarves, shorts, shirts and even shoes! I am flower crazy and I love it!
Mila
Elsa Princess Dress
For my Disney family favorites edition, I mentioned how Donnie’s mom bought Mila the most amazing Elsa dress for her birthday. Well, I am here to tell you now that it is TOO amazing. Mila would wear this dress ALL DAY, EVERY DAY if she could. She wears it to play outside, to go to the bank, food shopping… anywhere. She thinks she is a legit celebrity when she wears it, too. She walks around just waving at people and showing off her dress. It’s hilarious. I am not ashamed to admit that my husband and I will hide the dress if we are going somewhere where we don’t want her to wear it and then say we don’t know where it is. But she does look pretty darn cute in it.
This is her first time putting the dress on after Grandma gave it to her! |

Inflatable Water Slide
My husband and son have the same family favorite and it’s a good one! (even though this technically shouldn’t be a March family favorite since we just got it this week, but whatever) I sent my husband to Sam’s Club to get a ham and he came home with a water slide. (and the ham) This thing has been a major hit and we have only used it a few times. It doesn’t look like much, but the kids play with it NON-STOP. You hook it up to your hose so the slide stays slippery. It also came with two inflatable boards with handles to slide down, or you can use regular boogie boards (all the ones we have work great) or just go down yourself. The kids loved it during Easter, we put it out after the egg hunt and then all we had to do was sit and watch them all go crazy. I was worried Mila was too little to use it, but she quickly proved us wrong and even managed to hold her own with the older kids on Easter pushing her way through. Since we don’t park in our garage, we just drag the slide around front and leave it in there partially inflated, so we can take it out to use quickly. For 60 bucks, this may be the best purchase ever made. Go hubby!

I love all 3 of the choices!
Lauren says
Thank you! Its getting hard to narrow these down each month.. there are too many favorites! 😉
Tarynn Playle says
That slide looks so fun!! The dress is adorable! My husband and I have pulled the "we don't know where it is" too. Sometimes you don't have a choice!
Lauren says
I mean she would never take it off.. but I am always looking for more Frozen gear now.. esp if it involved tulle! 😉
Christine Cox says
The slide looks awesome! I can't wait for the weather to get warmer here so my toddler and I can do that too! And don't worry – my closet is full of plain colors too. I find myself always buying the SAME color and I have now told myself, "NO, you don't need another black shirt!"
Lauren says
My new thing is I buy every color in something that I like.. esp at Old Navy.. if I like a dress I get it in every color haha (and for the record… we ALWAYS need another black shirt!)
Aubrey Aquino says
That inflatable water slide is AWESOME!!!! Where were these contraptions in my childhood!?!? I had a TeddyTurtle and an inflatable ring pool! hehe
Lauren says
I know it! Takes the slip and slide up a few notches!
Constance Jones says
Yes– the inflatable water slide caught my attention. I would love this in an adult size. And the flowers are always a fresh look for the spring. LOVE IT
Lauren says
I havent tried the slide yet.. it needs to warm up a bit before I give it a go. 😉
Ellen Oliveira says
Love everything! You look beautiful in flowers. You're a Florida babe, can't live in black and gray!!!My fear of buying another inflatable is the upkeep. I don't have the energy yet. My son had a little pool but I just threw it away. Thinking it's easier just to take him out. Publicly admitting my laziness. Shame on me.

CourtneyLynne says
Omg loving the Elsa dress!!! My daughter wasn't that into frozen yet insist on having an Elsa dess and would wear it 24/7 if we would let her lol….
Lauren says
haha! Well frozen is Mila's LIFE so you can only imagine her level of obsession with that thing!
Nicole McGregor says
it's almost physically impossible for me to wear too much black and grey during spring! love the flowers!
Megan Van Weelde says
Your March favorite are great. I am very jealous you can use a waterslide in March
Brooke Knipp says
I love the flower finds! Also, I wish I had a dress that made me feel like I should wave to people because of how amazing I looked/felt in it. And lastly: I want that slide–my kids would flip for that!
Chanity Dawn says
I've been eyeing that slip and slide for a while! Definitely looks like a must in our family too!
Tanya Coffman says
I love the idea of adding flowers to your wardrobe! My closet is so drab, I need a makeover too! And a trip to Disney sounds so exciting! I'm still saving to go someday…

Children's essentially love to jump and play on a bouncy units. The fascination is more if these jumping toys are intriguing. It is hard to recognize the host of a party. Amazing jump is the best host. bounce houses for rent
