It's Almost My Birthday!

In less than an hour it will be my 30th Birthday!!!!! I know a lot of women get bummed about turning 30, but I'm actually excited. Tomorrow we're having our annual costume party. Two years ago I wanted to start it since I always had costume parties growing up I knew my girls would love it too. Plus it's another reason to have another party:) It's so cute to see all the little cousins and friends dressed up. Geez I guess my last costume party was 6th grade I think, so it'll be fun to have the girls party tomorrow. I get to relive my birthday memories through them. Since Mike (my hubby) turns 40 next month, we decided to throw ourselves a no kids allowed b'day bash. I feel like I'm throwing a party with my mom out of town. We don't go anywhere without the kids, let alone throw ourselves a party. Needless to say the girls will be spending the night at Grandma's that night:)It's Almost My Birthday, Nah Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah!!!!!

Monogrammed Items

The other night I added a bunch of monogrammed items. So far I have added diaper covers, bottle wraps, aprons,purses, canvas totes, and koozies. Keep checking back since I will be adding more items such as monogrammed clothing, hair ties, tooth fairy pillows, bibs, burp cloths, etc... Now's the time to start making your holiday list. All monogrammed items take 2-3 weeks to be produced and 1 week shipping time so you need to order in the next few weeks if it is a holiday gift. Also keep in mind that on most items you get to pick the ribbon and thread colors to make it even more unique.

Just Arrived!

I have so many great things I'll be adding this week to the site. Since yesterday I added Inch Bug Labels, Binky Buddy, Acting Out Light-Up Clippies, and Gift Sets by Gotcha Covered. I have Inch Bug Labels for both my girls so there is no more fighting over colored cups. Now they can both have the same color cup and if the other one's label is on it, too bad...lol! The Binky Buddy I so wish I had for my girl's since they loved to see how many times I would pick up their binky they spit out. My girls of course have the Acting Out Light-Up Clippies and they wear them all the time with heir Acting Out Musical Dresses. My girls are years past the baby stage, but the Gotcha Covered Gift Sets make such a sweet present. I'll definalty be giving them for future baby shower gifts. I'll be adding more patterns soon. All of these products are on my Home Page if you want to take a peek.

New Favorite Things

I love, love, love my new Classic Mommy necklace (found in Mom's category under Jewelry). I bought a bunch of low neck tops a few weeks ago and it is the perfect accent piece. I have been getting so many compliments. Women have stopped me in stores asking me about it.

For those of you who know me, will not be surprised by my next favorite thing...hair accessories (found in Baby and Girls category under Hair Accessories). My girls only have 2 organizers with 3 drawers each and 2 ribbon holders...hmm you think I'm a little hair accesssory obsessed...lol! I like to have one to match every outfit. Hey it's never too early to teach girls to coordinate...lol! There are 70 styles to choice from and most come in a variety of colors. Now you can see how easily it is for my girls collection to grow, it's too hard for me to not want to buy all of them:)

My New Favorite Things

A couple of weeks ago I ordered one of my Classic Mommy Necklaces and boy do I love it. This year I bought new clothes and they all have a low neck line so of course I'd need to wear a necklace. This is perfect. I was able to get two discs with each of the girls name and I am always getting complements when I am out. (Necklaces can be found in Mom category under Jewelry)

I just ordered some Milk Bands and although my girls are well past the breastfeeding stage I love this invention. There were so many times I would nurse my girls and would have to think which side I nursed last. These bands now only help you keep track of what side you nursed on, but the time you nursed. Talk about making it even easier for nursing moms. (Milk Bands can be found in Baby category under Nursing)

Ok so for those of you who know me my next favorite item is no surprise. I love my hair accessories. I am a hair accessory obsessed mom, ok I admit it. I have 2 organizers with 3 drawers each and 2 ribbon holders for all the ones you can clip on. I would say I have hundreds for the girls:) Kayla takes dance so of course I had to order the ballet shoes one. It look so cute with her dance costume. I also have several alligator clips ones cause I attach them to the side of their head or attach them to a headband for another look. If you have girls, you must check them out. (Hair Accessories can be found in Baby and Girls category under Hair Accessories)

Tip of the Week

Are you a parent and have questions? Do you feel like no ones knows what you are going through? Check out sites like www.babycenter.com. They have bulletin boards for everything you can imagine. I have put my mind to ease many times by getting advice and tips from other parents.

Apples Anyone...

So today was my youngest daughter, Ashley's, first class trip. I'm still having a hard time believing she's even in preschool since she's my baby. We went apple picking and she had a blast. Of course she picked a ton so now I need to figure out things to make with them. Any one have any good recipes, for warning I am not a good cook unless you want a good grill chesse that is my speciality:) I was thinking maybe I'll make applesauce or attempt an apple pie, who knows. Easy recipes welcome:)

Zach's Run/Kid's Show

We had a busy weekend. Sunday my oldest daughter, Kayla, and I went to walk in Zach's Run. Zach is Kayla's best friend or as she refers to him as the "boy she will marry". Oh yeah she tells me all about the beautiful white dress she is going to wear and how he is going to wear a black suit, the whole 9 yards. At age 3 Zach was diagnosed which Hunter Syndrome which you can learn more about on his website www.MakingPreciousStrides.org. His parents started the organization Making Precious Strides to raise money for research and last year they started the Run/Walk to help raise money. We did it last year and had a great time. Kayla was so excited to see Zach on Sunday since his family moved September 1st 8 hours away she has been missing him terribly, yes Cheryl I am mentioning that in case you read this...lol! Just kidding it was great to see you all and can't wait till your in town next.

So later that day I had a Kids Show convention. Oh the adorable stuff they had. I wanted to buy it all! Of course I don't have millions of dollars so that didn't happen. I will be having some new stuff on the website soon like rhinestone 3/4 sleeve shirts that say things like "Preschool Rocks, and Kindergarten Rocks", of course I had to buy one of each for my daughter's, you know to make sure they are ok to sell to others...lol! Kayla especially has a passsion for fashion as the Bratz dolls say so she is going to flip when her new shirt comes in. I was tempted to take her to the show since she has such good style, but new it would result in costing me way to much money so I deicded to leave her home. Check my site out in the next week or two to see all the cool new stuff that will be added!
