I'm an Everyday Mama to three and a San Diego-based freelance writer. I love everything that has to do with shopping and being the talk of the neighborhood when I find the perfect necklace or the perfect side table. My style philosophy is simple: that being a mom does not mean that you should sacrifice style. You can be a mom and stylish! When she's not shopping or writing about shopping, she can be found playing with her three kids at the park. My favorite stores are Target, Nordstrom and Anthropologie but when it comes to finding the perfect pair of jeans, no store is off limits. For more style finds, you can follow me on Twitter @EverydayMama, Facebook, and visit my daily blog at http://www.everydaymama.com.

As the weather starts to get warmer, my family and I are starting to spend more time outdoors. It's nice, but we're also in need of some new furniture for the kids to use. I've been looking at all kinds of options and have come to the conclusion that they really do need their own pint-sized set. Here's a look at some of my favorites for getting them to sit and enjoy the outdoors. — Christine from Everyday Mama
This takes the "kids' table" to a whole new meaning. It's just like mom and dad's, but smaller.
My kids have this chair swing and love to cozy up and read a book in it. It's the perfect outdoor piece for kids.
This is another great hanging chair — at a fraction of the price.
A rocking chair isn't just for nurseries anymore. This is a great piece for a small patio that fits all sizes comfortably.
Low to the ground, this chair accommodates all ages. It can also work inside during the colder months.
These can be used as tables or seats. They're definitely kid-proof and they come in fun colors.
A little Adirondack chair for your child is perfect for the beach house you always wanted.
Ms. Muffet sat on a tuffet — this is the perfect kid-friendly seat. It can work indoors or out, and it comes in a few colors. Imagine playing Duck-Duck-Goose on these!
If you're a DIYer, then you'll love putting your own touches on this unfinished kids' picnic table. Paint it any way you like or just leave it natural, it's up to you!
Alice in Wonderland definitely had this set. It's fancy but still fun for your toddler.
What kid wouldn't want this? It even has its own drink tray.
This one is a table, but flip it over, and it becomes a rocker. So fun and bright!
This toadstool set is too cute. It's perfect for a garden or amongst the trees.
Any animal lover will love this daisy table and animal seat set.
You can't go wrong with a hammock swing. This one is perfect for reading, relaxing or catching bubbles.
How about a little garden bench for your little helpers?
A pouf is just what kids need to make them comfortable.
With its own shade, bench seats and a table, this set is great for eating snacks, having conversations and doing art projects.
Personally, I need one of these inside and outside of my house. It comes for a great price too.
A sling chair will get the kids relaxing. This one also folds for easy travel.
