Not to mention the countless expeditions and adventures we mommies plan for the best &quot;tortured fun&quot; you have all year. Don&#39;t get me wrong, the memories are priceless, but the &quot; I have to go potty&quot; when there is no bathroom in sight, &quot;I&#39;m hungry&quot; in the middle of the guided tour (only after refusing to have anything but a drink box at lunch)or how about picking and pouting for the only stuffed animal at the zoo&#39;s gifts shop that cost $39.99??!( what about a cute little globe for 8.99? No way.) Yes, as moms we have to be prepared for everything! So here are a few tips for having adventures that go off without a hitch( okay that run a little smoother... lol)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. ) Always, always have potty runs before you leave the house and at whatever spot you stop at that is clean and convenient. ( Take your own paper toilet covers with..if your paranoid about germs like me!).&quot; I don&#39;t have to go potty now&quot; Nope, not  gonna fly little one. Try try anyway! Lastly limit drinking as much as possible to areas where children can potty soon after.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2) Always carry portable snacks; crackers, cookies,  or even cut up fruit. Children are very finicky and will usually only want to eat when it is not convenient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3) Help your little one make good decisions. Give him/her limits like ( only 1 toy or nothing over $10.00) then let them make their own choice like a big boy or girl.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These are just a few tips you may or may not already do, if not, hopefully this helps.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s to a fun and painless summer!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2009/04/summer-is-just-around-corner.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-6597944721407166726</guid><pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2009 15:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-03-19T08:27:53.989-07:00</atom:updated><title>Second Hand Clothes-The &quot;Hottest New&quot; Thing</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hard economic times have caused many smart mommies to shop second hand stores.  The great thing about moms is that we learn quickly how to be frugal, yet still keep our families happy and looking great!  I for one believe that sometimes great things can come from bad situations.  For example shopping second hand in hard times!  Kids grow quickly and while their clothes don&#39;t grow, many times they are in great condition and have tons of wear left in them.  Why not wear named brand clothes for less than half the price.   Let&#39;s face it, even before these hard times many families could not afford certain brand names.  Second Hand shopping allows you to wear the best for less.  Stores like &lt;a href=&quot;http://littlehandsboutique.com/&quot;&gt;LittleHandsBoutique.com &lt;/a&gt;take pride in bringing you items that look great at a fraction of the cost you would have paid. Don&#39;t take my word for it.....Look for yourself.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://littlehandsboutique.com/&quot;&gt;Shop LittleHandsBoutique.com Now.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2009/03/second-hand-clothes-hottest-new-thing.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-8225205436534842298</guid><pubDate>Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-17T15:01:33.980-08:00</atom:updated><title>Kick The Chaotic Morning Blues</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If your like most mommies who have school- age children  mornings can be SO chaotic. You have to get the little ones cleaned, dressed and fed all before rushing off to school. Here are a few tips to kick the Morning Chaos.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. Try making a breakfast casserole at night.  Prepare this quick meal before bed so all you have to do is warm it up in the morning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. Did you know that breakfast burritos freeze great? Prepare a batch and take them out to heat up for breakfast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Try a quick breakfast like boiled eggs with toast and juice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4. A great time saver is to set the table for breakfast at night with a vitamin by each plate and all. One mom said she even put the stopper in the sink with a bit of dish washing liquid in preparation for clean up. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5. Attempt to find hairstyles for girls that can last a couple of days at at time or if that&#39;s not possible, have all necessary bows and accessories to go with outfits already laid out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;6. Iron school clothes for the week on weekends.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These tips may not be for you, but consider your morning routine and take note to what task can be done at night or in a more efficient manner. Each minute shaves time wasted and gives you more control over the  Chaotic Morning Blues!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Good luck&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2009/02/kick-chaotic-morning-blues.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-1466165483422448015</guid><pubDate>Fri, 13 Feb 2009 17:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-13T10:09:37.134-08:00</atom:updated><title>Step Into Spring!</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NRt1_JSRKQ8vq6IRA1I3D-fixoYggxb5nOvFJzEOVFn6hQ-TFn4OKqGn1Z_ed3UKafYIm0JsWfPGa7ToEYlZeBz92PJJuobq5YqcNOa9tMyYtliJG6jQVJkCH08dkzEizXIOHFY6lyg/s1600-h/baby+girl+walking.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302340564696575282&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 198px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 190px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2NRt1_JSRKQ8vq6IRA1I3D-fixoYggxb5nOvFJzEOVFn6hQ-TFn4OKqGn1Z_ed3UKafYIm0JsWfPGa7ToEYlZeBz92PJJuobq5YqcNOa9tMyYtliJG6jQVJkCH08dkzEizXIOHFY6lyg/s320/baby+girl+walking.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;color:#66ff99;&quot;&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9966;&quot;&gt;pril Showers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt; ...........&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ffcc33;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#33cc00;&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;r&lt;span style=&quot;color:#993399;&quot;&gt;in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#33cc00;&quot;&gt;g&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;May Flowers!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In some parts of the world spring is starting to rear it&#39;s pretty little head and in others parts flowers probably wont bloom for yet another month or two, &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;color:#009900;&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;ut no matter what part of the world you live in(just about), you can bet your bottom dollar that April showers and May flowers will eventually make their way to your doorstep.

Used. Recycled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What do you feel when you hear each of these words? &#39;Second-hand&#39; might bring back painful memories of wearing an older sibling&#39;s (or cousin&#39;s) bell bottoms that were so last year, while &#39;used&#39; might conjure up images of a slimy car salesman dishing up a lemon for your first car, yet once you throw the word &#39;recycled&#39; into the mix, the whole mood  changes. &#39;Recycled&#39; has happy vibes, with images of sparkling clean water, green, green grass, and smiling children frolicking in bright sunshine. Truth be told, you are probably thinking that the day you &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;don&#39;t&lt;/span&gt; buy your kid(s) brand-new off-the-rack clothing is the day you finally accept poverty as your fate. Sadly, this mentality can cause you untold dollars of un-necessary clothing costs as your little ones grow up, especially when they are in the toddler stage of outgrowing everything before it wears out. Today, I&#39;d like you to go back and reformat your perceptions on gently-used clothing. Replace words like &#39;used&#39; and &#39;second-hand&#39; with &#39;recycled.&#39; By purchasing recycled clothing, instead of new items from Big Box Retailers, you&#39;ll be saving a lot of green &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; supporting small businesses run by ordinary moms and dads, like Little Hands Boutique.

Let&#39;s face it, why should you waste money on pricy little get-ups when your little munchkins will outgrow them long before they get another chance to wear them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little Hands has the &lt;span style=&quot;font-style:italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;best&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; deals on holiday dress-up items this season, hands down!

Let the children chose the pictures and letters they want, and glue them onto their book pages. Later, arrange a time for the children to read their books to you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feelie Box&lt;/strong&gt;-Have a feelie box, that children can&#39;t look into, such as covered with a towel or sheet.

Have your child put them on a poster board or a wall in their room and create their own zoo! Talk with children about how animals walk, eat and sounds they make...and then when ready take your child to the real zoo for a more enhanced experience. Alternatively, photocopy animal coloring book pages for the children to color and make a picture book.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Animal Masks&lt;/strong&gt;-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Make animal masks out of paper plates or grocery bags using decorative items such as stickers, tissue paper, markers, glue, yarn, etc. Have a puppet show or small play and let the children make up their own lines for their animal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope you enjoyed these tidbits of fun....check back tomorrow for Wednesday&#39;s Humpday Giveaway!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2008/11/tempting-tuesdays.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-5603617592254631479</guid><pubDate>Fri, 14 Nov 2008 23:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-11-14T15:03:15.106-08:00</atom:updated><title>Congrats Zwriter!-Winner of the EasyLiving Giveaway!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congrats to Zwriter you are the winner of the Easy Living Giveaway, Your are just one step from adding an a little extra time to your day!

width=&quot;141&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;More and more moms are taking the leap into the growing pool of Wahm&#39;s. It is a freedom that moms have found to be unmeasurable. Although working at home has great advantages, such as: creating your own hours, possibly forfeiting the cost of daycare and having the great privilege to teach and care for your little ones at home, as well as savings in the form of less gas and time traveling. Sounds great right? Well not so fast....this wonderful life also come with it&#39;s challenges, and when you have a toddler at home that is and understatement, but with thought and preparation it can still be a win/win situation. Here are some tips on successfully working at home when you have a toddler in the home.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;1. Be realistic- Do your research and choose your work at home job or business wisely. Many telecommuting positions can still be time consuming and require constant quiet, therefore a child in the home during work hours would be inappropriate(ie: customer service). Be sure that your choice fits your needs.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;2. Keep work physically separate from children. Create a viable workspace and keep children out of this area, this ensures the safety of the children as well as work related items. However as moms we know that it is always a good idea to childproof every area of the home as a precaution. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;3. Muti-task- When possible take advantage of times when you are able to work and care for children at the same time. For example if there are some calls you can make with the children around, be creative and set up a play office area for your toddler, they love to imitate and this will keep them busy as you finish up last minute things. This is helpful as long as you are able to work and keep and eye out at the same time. Be careful to assess when the task does not allow you to work and care for your child at the same time. Know when you should set aside work to care for your child. Never step over this boundary.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;4. Take full advantage of nap time: This is a valuable time, be sure not to get distracted and waste time on things that you can do when your toddler is awake&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;5. Try to arrange a play date with a family member or friend once a week if possible. This will give you some time to devote undivided attention to your work.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Being a Wahm is not to be taken lightly. It should be given careful thought and you should have a well laid out plan if you intend to be successful. But when all is said and done it can prove to be a great way to support your family without having to give up the care of your family to strangers.

This year, instead of wasting your money on cheap, ill-fitting costumes from a major party retailer, set aside an afternoon with your little munch-kins and get creative. Stock up on some cheap craft supplies like loose dyed feathers, glueable gemstones, pompoms, finger paints, and other small, lightweight objects. Add some large paper bags, construction paper, disposable paper plates, or paperboard for the mask base (for a sturdier base, you can make a &lt;a href=&quot;http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/makingmasks/l/blpmchface.htm&quot;&gt;paper mache mask&lt;/a&gt;), glue, a bit of thin elastic or regular string to secure the mask(s), markers and crayons, and get ready to get messy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, using the pencil, mark the approximate locations of the mask-wearer&#39;s eyes, nose, and if desired, mouth. Cut away the material to leave holes and punch out two small holes right around eye-level on either side. Next, glue, paint, feather, and decorate to taste. Allow to dry fully and then tie the string or elastic to the mask.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Other Fun Costume/Dress-up Ideas:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This little dress ($6.99) combined with a dollar store tiera and wand could be the perfect outfit for a princess or belle of the ball:&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/-strse-421/LOVELY-YELLOW-SUNDAY-DRESS/Detail.bok%20&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/catalog/IMG_3236.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/-strse-444/TODDLER-HAT-BY-GAP/Detail.bok&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/catalog/IMG_3430.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Your budding jungle explorer, safari kid, or Indiana Jones treasure hunter will appreciate this accessory (and at $2.25 , so will your budget).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This hat would be the perfect for a soldier or hunter costume:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/-strse-737/OLD-NAVY-ARMY-FATIGUES/Detail.bok&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;http://stores.littlehandsboutique.biz/catalog/HAT4.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2008/10/dont-let-price-of-costumes-haunt-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-4605793768644118002</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Oct 2008 17:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-08T10:00:01.173-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bargain hunting</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">shoes</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">the Budget Stretcher</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Toddlers</category><title>Frolicking Fall Fashion for Your Puddle Jumpers!</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:lucida grande;font-size:180%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;K&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;eep those adorable little toesies warm this season with affordable, quality shoes at bargain prices from  Little Hands Boutique.

Here&#39;s Help!</title><description>If you are one of those people that have some organizational challenges then this article may be for you. For a busy mom the at some point or another the laundry just seems to pile up. For me this time or another comes about every week. It seems that in a family of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 255);&quot;&gt;Six&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the phrase &quot;caught up on all the laundry&quot; is just a wonderful dream. The more laundry I do, the more the laundry fairy delivers to me daily. My laundry room is quite small and discouraging, thus my excuse for the clutter and constant feeling of chaos that comes over me when ever I walk into this area of the house. Am I alone on this one? I have to believe that someone out there who relates and feels my pain! With four teenagers and a toddler constantly in tow, organizing my laundry room became much more important than some will ever understand. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The more organized you are the more time you waste and the more time you have to do things you love and to spend time with the people who mean the most to you. Without further ado, here is  the coolest article on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/gallery/0,21863,1602280-1,00.html&quot;&gt;getting rid of the chaos&lt;/a&gt; in your laundry room!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2008/10/laundry-room-blues-heres-help.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060720150157663211.post-2716440281660815166</guid><pubDate>Thu, 02 Oct 2008 21:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-02T14:54:01.041-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">kid&#39;s clothing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">saving money</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">the Budget Stretcher</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Toddlers</category><title>5 Easy Ways to Rake In Fall Savings</title><description>&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1. &lt;/span&gt;Get ready for cooler weather and save energy costs by making sure your furnace and other appliances aren&#39;t inflating your utility bills unnecessarily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt; Buy in-season fruits and vegetables, and trade in those name-brand toaster pastries for the generic kind.

To kick off &lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Breast Cancer Awareness&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Month&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I decided to have a special give away that I will announce on Fitness Friday. I want to provide as much useful information as possible about this great cause &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; offer you some nice give aways as well. So those of you who have subscribed watch closely this month not only for great giveaways but great information.  If you have not subscribe please do so right away! Up next a great link to check out. I will be posting this link separately, it is a very detailed guide on doing self breast exams, eating to prevent cancer and even awareness in men. This is one guide you don&#39;t want to miss.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#cc66cc;&quot;&gt;Much Love and Support to all our mommies out there and especially to those who have been directly touched by this terrible disease.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#cc66cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#cc66cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;centered&quot; alt=&quot;post signature&quot; src=&quot;http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/8349/littlehandssiggy2qc4.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://littlehandsboutique.blogspot.com/2008/10/congrats-humpday-winner-its-breast.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Tiny Talk)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNCwMhhwBgkb2VHsLYFD1dlJm3obEmcklu8poXpEU3tUzb3kmk0Rwvwwjr9l4vD4sVyIITa12u4Gp7x8mbXyBtbABwzHfvpuDuJCHe4xeCsmTd3khmPl_Wg8b1YQ-V4oLVHty3s71JSsU/s72-c/breast+cancer+awareness+month.gif" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
