My son is quite the character and always stirring up some type of fun for himself! He has recently started cutting 3 teeth on top of the 2 that have already broken through. This poor little guy is such a trooper and I lucked out that he isn't the type of baby that just screams or yells! He quietly climbs into my lap and cuddles for a few hours, then pushes away from me when he's okay he says "

As I sit here in my recliner seeing the leaves rustle in the wind and the branches sway side to side, I think to myself could life get any better! We have been sitting here enjoying what a marvelous day GOD has given me; all of us. What will my memory of this day be in 10 years? Will I remember how beautiful the sun was glistening against the changing leafs? Or how graceful the wind blows in my

Yesterday was pretty busy, but nothing too eventful happened. I played with my little man and woman!!! They are too precious and developing rapidly fast. Any mother would be so proud. Ethan and Lily are exceeding their milestones, rising above the bar and at times it isn't always good. For instance, Ethan learned how to unlock the child proofing we did to our cabinets and learned how to open

No caption needed!!! Yesterday was a frustrating day with my business. I hate when people take advantage of me and say one thing, but do another. I am busting my toocas to build this business from the ground up by myself with no hand outs from anyone because that is just the type of person my parents raised. Here in the last 4 & 1/2 years after the separation from my ex fiance Chris; I've

I never realized how much I would think about Blogging while on our 2 day mini vacay. Actually I only thought about it twice since we were having such a blast! Friday my hubby got off of work at 2:15 and we drove to Sugar Land, Texas to my in laws house. What normally takes people 3 or 3.5 hours took us 2 hours on the dot! Yeah some may say I have a lead foot and yet others may say that is

Rules of living are not written in a book and learning from experience is how you grow. I have been working diligently on my business and striving very hard to make a dependable reputation. Working day and night 14-16 hours at a time for 2.5 months! I think it is about time we blow this Popsicle stand aka our casa. It's no 5 star vacay we are taking, but it's our version of flying across the

Yesterday was a regular Tuesday for me and the kids!!! Ethan up at 8, breakfast at 8:15ish, play time from 8:45-9:30, and a 1 hour nap. But our afternoon was getting spruced up! I have volunteered my eyes for research. I know you are wondering how do you volunteer your eyes for research? My mother works in the physical therapy department at Texas State University and some of the students are

Today was a pretty calm and uneventful day!!! Ethan wasn't feeling to well, and it all has to do with his teethies. I feel helpless and if I could take the pain away to give it to myself I would! All I can do is give him Children's Advil since Tylenol can't get their act together and some little teething pills. Some days are worse than others and I can't wait till he's completely done cutting

This is what my day consists of!!! Lucky me :o) They are GREAT My main squeeze!!! Telling dad TOUCHDOWN  Yesterday was my dad's birthday party and what a great evening it was! I helped my momma finish cooking the dinner and set up the driveway!! We had their tent set up outside!! Ethan ran around like a wild man as to be expected and he had an accident.

My Husband and I have been debating for a little while now whether or not we should get our son, Ethan a puppy! Although I have had a pure bred Dachshund named Codie or as Ethan calls him TODI. It's the cutest! Codie is not the best listener and would rather run away than stay put. I have never seen a dog with more energy and Ethan needs a puppy who can withstand being on the go 90% of the day.

She loves to EAT & He loves his HORSE!! You know when someone tells you "I'M GOING TO DO THIS..." But only do part of what they started and then you end up doing twice as much work to complete their task. That is my biggest pet peeve! Please please please when you start a project you must or should FINISH it out of respect for the other people around you. My husband thought he'd help me out

Getting ready for LIFT-OFF!!! In the Process... I have been working steadily at my tutus for Pookie Jane's Boutique in Gruene, Texas! I finished them up last night and then completed the final touches this morning before James left for school! Tis a great thing when professor's cancel a morning class. I am able to do about 10 things on my to do list without having to stop 50 times in the

Ethan was up bright and early this morning! Can you say, 7:30? After 2 hours of wabbling around the house in a grumpy mood Ethan crawled into bed with me and fell asleep across the bed. I was on about a sliver of our queen sized bed and Ethan had the rest. I think we need a Cali King bed! Anyone else agree? Especially when you have a bed hog like my husband and son. Well James really isn't a bed

I was woken up by a 2 month olds almost laughter! Lily was wide awake at 5:15 am and was giggling about something. Then Ethan woke up in a cranky mood, but it's because we are weening him off the bottle. He did surprisingly well and only had a 4 oz bottle then entire night! I think he'll be sleeping through the night in a few days and  I am extremely proud of my big boy. I want to cry

It has been a couple of days since I've last posted and I feel completely terrible. I wanted to do a posting everyday, but the last 48 hours have been hectic. Sara and I had a booth at the Buda Fire Fest in Buda, Texas this past Friday evening and All day on Saturday. Let me tell you it was very tiring to pack, unpack, load, unload, organize and prioritize all my merchandise 2 days in a row.

Growing up as a youngster the only 2 things I dreaded was getting shots and spankings. Now as a grown woman, mother of 2 and wife to 1 my biggest 2 fears are leaving this world for another and seeing my babies get shots. Tomorrow is Ethan's 15 month shots that he should have gotten at 12 months, but due to insurance issues we could not do it. I hate you AETNA COBRA plan and CERIDIAN because you

I have one of the new songs off of Randy Rogers Bands new CD. Their song is stuck in my head, "Damn the RAIN...". and I'm not complaining. There is no RRB song that I don't adore! I am extremely anxious to see them come October 20th at Cheatham Warehouse. It has been 2 long years since I have seen the world's GREATEST band to ever grace the stage! Wow, I have been pregnant for 2 years off and

Day 2 of the NO CAFFEINE well actually NO SODAS period challenge! Not difficult at all. I have been substituting my usual 2 colas a day with apple juice and capri suns!!! Yum. I guess I was thinking this would be harder, but I've only been drinking sodas for about a month now and before that I wasn't because I was breast feeding my lil' angel, Lily! My actual challenge is going to be drinking

Where to begin?! Well here's as good as any spot to start.  It has been 2 long months working 14-16 hours a day getting my collection of TuTu's, and Frilly Flip-Flops ready for tomorrow's Photo Shoot in the Park! Then last night I had another brilliant epiphany out of nowhere, go figure. I thought maybe I can learn how to make bows and after 4 hours of trying to figure those mazes of art

I may not work 40 hours a week, but I do a lot more then most. I take care of our two children day in and day out with no complaints because that is what a mother does. I cook, clean, do the laundry, make bottles, and run my own business each

After hours of chit-chatting with Sara about our Fall Photo Shoot and everyday annoyances the topic of growing OLD came up. She had a little funny break down because she just realized she'll be 40 in 10 years and I told her for being 30, she's HOT! However, you know us women we never believe it and I'll say it again SARA YOU ARE GREAT LOOKING, YOU DON'T LOOK YOUR AGE! She was explaining to me

Well my husband and I came up with the MILLION DOLLAR idea to POTTY train our 15 month old. This idea came into play last night after our son had an explosion in his diaper that almost knocked us off of our feet. I swear for a little boy he has man poop and it is worse because it gets smeared all over his bottom area. I wanted to make it an adventure to find his toilet, but my hubby had other

I have come up with the most brilliant idea, and that is to start my own business!! Not an easy task in the least to be an entrepreneur and a full time mommy. Sometimes I wonder what am I thinking?! I go from super mom; making bottles, changing diapers, folding clothes and cooking dinner to designing the ultimate girly tutus! It is daunting to have patience especially with such a tedious task

We are super excited to take our little family to the Renaissance Festival in Plantersville in 3 weeks for the Fairies and Wizards weekend!!!! We bought our lil' man a wizards pattern and medieval blue fabric! Lily is going to be a sparkly blue fairy that will match her brothers outfit. My husband and I are still on the fence about whether or not to dress up, but I think it is all in good fun!!!
