For those of you with kids, I’m sure you’ve heard of Hanna Andersson. I first got hooked on their pajamas. I mean…the organic cotton and the prints are SO GOOD! Super soft, and you can wash them a kazillion times, and they still look new! Maya doesn’t know about brand names, but now that she dresses herself, she goes for what she loves. And honestly…if I didn’t intervene with the occasional “Don’t you want to wear SOMETHING ELSE?!!“, she’d wear her same favorite Hanna Andersson dresses over, and over, and over. Not that it’s a bad thing, but…I may have bought other items that just sit hanging… 😉
SO…imagine how thrilled I was when I was contacted by them and asked if I would want to test out their spring “It’s a playdress, it’s a daydress” (This was last fall! Just want to make sure you know that I’m not torturing her now in the cold temps!!).
I’ve been DYING to share these images, and I’m so excited that I finally can! Fair warning…this is a long post, but really…it could have been 3 times as long! Put her in one of these dresses + a pair of their leggings on the beach, and she’s in heaven! Sadly, the leggings got soaked about 5 minutes (typical…), and I took them off 😉
I love this next one. It totally looks beautifully posed. Clearly…it wasn’t 😉 
Of course, she had requested temporary tattoos on her a few days before. I tried wiping them off, but is there anything more authentic on a 4 year old??! 
So her…jumping of anything and everything! 
I seriously love Seattle on days like this… 
Oddly, this next one is one of my favorites…
And that smile-DYING!! 
And then…whatever, I’ll just embrace the water. 
And…I knew this would happen eventually! I’m just glad it didn’t happen in the first 5 minutes, like it usually does ;} 
If you don’t already get it, go get the Hanna Andersson Catalog! So much goodness!!

On Maya…
Um….or this 😉
Although…I do love this. Even if she’s rolling in a pile of weeds! We’ll just call them wildflowers 😉 Seriously, I’m pretty sure Seattle is the only beach that has patches of “wildflowers” here and there-love it!
I asked my mom if she wanted to come with us. A lot of times the minute Maya’s feet hit the sand, she’s OFF!! And…into the water. I wanted to try and get a few pictures before all that happened, so I brought my secret weapon-Meme!! She never runs away from Meme 🙂
Oh, and for those of you wondering…braids? On an over 40 year old mother? YES! Didn’t take a shower. Curly hair mess, suddenly tamed. DONE! So, there you go. I think we should all band together and make it the new “top knot” It takes more time, but…kinda makes you look younger, and, I mean…DUH! 🙂
Loooove this next one! Those clouds? HER SMOOCH??!
That little tongue as she throws the rock?? LOVE!!
On me…
Me chasing her down as she ran away laughing… If only I could set the camera up to change the focus point. Although, at this close of range, I’m happy for the fact that it’s unfocused 😉
