Little LadyBugz – 12 Days

Dec 03 2011

Posted by Elizabeth as Adventures in Parenting, Birthday Party Guide

I’m at a stay at home mom of two wonderful kids. They both have inspired my creations. My daughter always wants to wear the things that I make and I must say that she is my best judge. If something is just not right, she points it out. Every color is her favourite and if she could, she would be wearing a headband, barrette and hat all at once!

My creations began with me trying to find something creative to put in my daughter’s hair. Every headband and barrette that I bought, would not stay in her hair. I needed something for her fine hair. I decided to take matters into my own hands and started with a few barrettes. Once I began, I didn’t know when to stop. There were so many cute designs that I couldn’t just pick one. My friends made comments on the barrettes that they wanted some for their daughters. That’s when I decided to make them for everyone to enjoy. Each barrette is designed so that it can be used in fine, thick, curly, or straight hair. There is a non-slip grip on the inside so that it does not slide out of place. They are great for any age!

The barrettes slowly led me in the direction of the creation of my headbands. The headbands with flowers come in a variety of colors and sizes to choose from. These make great baby shower and birthday gifts as well.

I have now ventured into crocheting hats and scarves of all sizes. Each hat is uniquely designed and comes with 3 interchangeable flowers that you can choose the colors of. You also have a choice of a straight or scalloped edge. If there is a specific color that you would like, let me know and I’d be more than happy to make it for you.My goal for all of my creations is to keep things reasonably priced so that they are affordable for everyone. If you want a unique Christmas present, now is the time to put in your orders! I will be more than happy to work with you so that you are happy with your Little Ladybugz creation.

Prices:

Barrettes:

$2.00 for a pair or $5.00 for 3 pairs

Headbands:

Small (newborn) $2

Medium $3.00 each or 2 for $5.00

Large $4.00 each or 2 for $7.00

**The difference between the medium and the large is the size of the flower. The headband size is the same).

Hats:

Small (0-6 months) $10.00

Medium $13.00 (6 months – 3 years)

Large $15.00 (3 years +)

Adult $17.00

Every Friday my kids wake up and ask, “Is it gymnastics day?!” They are so excited to participate in their gymnastics program at River City Gymnastics. They love getting to play on all the equipment. They are excited to see their teachers and are greeted with a smile.

River City Gymnastics shares, This Christmas give the “Gift of Activity” with River City Gymnastics and Young People Sport Academy. Over the holidays we have a number of programs available to you and your children.

Christmas Camps:

December 19-23 – Day camps for children ages 3-10 – $27.00/day – 9:00am-3:00pm

Our Christmas day camps are a perfect solution for the “I’m Bored” blues leading up to Christmas. From December 19 -23 your children can come and make crafts, play games, participate in outdoor activities and gymnastics. The mornings are filled with high energy games and gymnastics. Afternoons we will make crafts, have some indoor play time, bouncy castles, and outdoor winter fun!

Indoor Drop-In Gymnastics:

Our Parent & Tot Drop In gymnastics times are specially suited to get your little one confident in moving their bodies over, under, and through our gymnastics floor. Each centre on our floor is set up to suite the physical needs of the child, and the supervision needs of moms and dads.

2 hours of high energy, fast paced fun! In the first hour, children can explore gymnastics at their level. We stretch our muscles, follow gymnastics circuits, and cannonball into the foam pit! Also during this time we inflate our Bouncy Castle Obstacle Course!

The second hour takes the group to your private party room. If you are supplying snacks or a meal, this is where that would take place. Extra time? The gymnasium in our facility has the option for open sports such as basketball and volleyball.
