Playing Pretend with Great Pretenders (Giveaway)

I love the imagination of a child!

To them there are no limits or boundaries when it comes to being creative. They can be whatever they want and live every day to its fullest! They are excited about the little things and are never afraid to show their thoughts or feelings. If you are lucky enough to play pretend with a child, you can really see their imagination and how amazing they are.

I am always happy when I see my kids using their imagination and them being happy just because.

My youngest is a rough and tumble girl who also loves to dress up and have tea parties. This is what happens when you have older siblings, they influence your style without even realizing it. Some days her imagination takes over and she loves to dress up like a princess, others she is a super hero or movie star. Her friends love to do this as well! During play-dates they will dress up and put on a show for whoever is around. It occupies them for hours and gives them the freedom to grow and dream. Plus it is super cute!

Recently a fabulous company reached out to me introducing me to their dress-up costumes for children that are made in Canada.
