Preschool Fashion Week, *Sponsored by Totspot*

March 11, 2015 by Amy, Using Our Words 2 Comments

I’m excited to partner with Totspot for this post about how we recently celebrated Preschool Fashion Week in our house. (Ok, that’s not really a thing. But it should be.

You want to know what was crazy intense? BlogHer ’14.
