Monkeybar buddies go long with leggings
If your girls wear Monkeybar Buddies under their dresses as much as mine do, then you'll be just as tickled as I was to learn that they now offer a leggings style as well. And if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then get ready for a stylish new must-have wardrobe addition.

I'm a bit reluctant to admit just how excited I was about these leggings. With the weather still on the chilly side and my oldest daughter persistently wanting to wear dresses regardless of the temperature outside, these awesome cotton spandex capris -- which I must say are way heartier than the leggings we usually grab at the local big chain stores -- have made life around here a whole lot easier. Still featuring the same adorable cut and bow detail at the leg as the classic Monkeybar undershorts, these leggings extend right below the knee, fitting snugly on your girl's legs (depending on what size you grab) and comfortably under their dresses and skirts. So girls can still be girlie, even as they're tearing up the soccer field or the jungle gym.

Here's to one less daily battle in our home. -Kristen
