A little bit about us . . .

Hello everyone! We are glad you are reading tutus & turtles and hope that you are enjoying it as much as we are. Tutus & turtles was started to help keep track of all the fun and informative parenting and child stuff we found, and to give us a good place to find all of our favorites. We are happy to share what we find and love with everyone and hope that you are finding tutus & turtles fun and helpful.

Since our group of contributors has expanded, we thought we'd give you a little introduction to the Moms behind this site. We hope to clear up any confusion (only one of us is expecting at this time!), offer a more personal approach, and satisfy any curiosity! We'll start posting under individual names this week.

I'm Holly, Mom to Max (4 next week!), and Anni (21 months). We live in Indiana and we love reading, playing outside, photography, cooking (and eating), and long naps on the rare occasion that they occur.

Next we have my sister-in-law, Mandy, who lives in Nevada. She has the most experience at parenting of all of us at tutus & turtles, and keeps very busy with her three kids: Mckay (5), Ellie (3 1/2), and darling Clara (9 months).

Then there is Jules from Utah. She is due on Jan. 26th with her first, a little girl. She loves design and beautiful things, and fortunately for us, she likes to share her finds with others! Being new to the world of parenting she has said how much she appreciates relying on others for tips and advice, so she finds it fun to give ideas in return.

Lisa also lives in UT. She is the Mother of Arlington, 18 months, who is always dressed in and using all sorts of cool, unique stuff that Lisa finds.

Danielle is the mother of Allie (3 1/2), and Brin (18 months). She also lives in Indy. She taught elementary school prior to becoming a Mommy, and loves reading, art projects, and music.

We are still trying to find our way around in this crazy world of parenting and would love any input you have. We love your comments, opinions, and reviews. Let us know what you love and why you love it!
