It's Here, It's Here!

I have been waiting for so long for my Michael Miller fabric to come in. For me to wait for anything, is well...a miracle! I am the most impatient person you will ever know. I checked the mail each and everyday for almost 3 months, hoping that my fabric would be in. Only to walk away disappointed.

Well, yesterday, it finally came! You know I'm a dork when getting fabric in the mail is the highlight of my year so far! Last night I had a friend over and today I had a booth at a Baby Market (it went great by the way!). So, I am now ready to dive into these new designs I have been talking about for months now!

We are leaving for Paris on Tuesday, so next week is filled. But when I get back, I hope to have a few designs listed on the website. And of course, you will get the first look at these AMAZING new designs!

Easter

We had a great, fun filled, hectic Easter! It started out with us running late to church, it was so packed inside that we had to sit outside in the hallway. Afterwards, we rushed home so that I could start preparing a few dishes for our potluck with friends. In typical fashion, we were running late, I was still cooking and in sweat pants when my friends arrived.

We had made each of the kids and their parents an Easter gift bag of goodies, and the goal was to hold a scavenger hunt for them to find their gift bags. That didn't work out as planned, so D ended up just handing them out as everyone showed up.

The kids had a blast playing and running around, while use adults ate. The kids are never interested in food when they all get together. Then we headed out for the Easter Egg Hunt. We had two Eggs Hunts, one for the smaller kids, which was held in the garden/patio area. The older kids had the huge backyard to search for eggs. We let the grass get really long, ok we forgot to mow the yard, but let's just say we let the grass grow super high on purpose! :) So the older kids had a pretty hard time finding the 150+ eggs hidden in our backyard. I can just imagine us out there on the 4th of July shooting off fireworks, and still find Easter eggs!



After the Egg Hunt, we all gathered around to break the Pinata that Sasha made. That thing was hard to crack!
Here's a photo of me helping K hit the Pinata:


When the Pinata finally had enough, the kids scrambled to pick up the candy. Then we all headed up to the garden/patio area for a group photo (we are missing a few people):


And we got one of the younger kids as well:


Later we all just hung out around the backyard taking photos and letting the kids run wild. Well, all of the kids except mine, who has made it her life's mission to taste each flower,stick,piece of grass, and mud in our backyard.
Here she is going for the flower:


Here she is after she realizes it doesn't taste too great:


We even caught K and M trying to tip the water bucket over:

Diaper Bling is family owned and operated by Kathie Garcia. Here is what Kathie had to say when asked why she started Diaper Bling.

After hearing the news that my daughter was pregnant with her first child, and our first grandchild, you can only imagine the excitement we had!!! Every month I would send my daughter a care package with cute little baby clothes and accessories. When it came time for my daughter’s baby shower, I searched everywhere for a personalized unique gift that no one else has given. I became frustrated looking for that perfect gift and decided that I would make one. I made her one of our (12) pack Personalized Diaper gift sets and a diaper cake. Since the shower I have been asked to make Diaper Bling for several family and friends. Before long, the orders were coming regularly and I decided to offer Diaper Bling through the World Wide Web. And that’s when DiaperBling.com was born.

These unique diapers are a "MUST HAVE" product for any Trendy Mama! Now you have the chance to win your own Personalized Gift Set!

My Arch Enemy

One of my goals this year was to eat healthier and work out more. A few weeks into the New Year, I hurt my foot, and took it easy for about 6 weeks. I never thought I would say this, but during that 6 weeks, I actually MISSED working out!

I have an elliptical and a stationary bike upstairs, so I have no excuse to not work out. Plus, I've cut down on my soda intake. I don't know if I can completely give it up, since I need caffeine! But, I am working on it.

Well, it is now April...and I am proud to say that I have lost 12lbs! I am ecstatic about it! My jeans are MUCH more loose, and actually fell off...in public. Yea, I won't go into detail...but I was mortified! As you can imagine.

I have a few pairs of jeans that I have kept and my goal is to fit into them before we move in October. And hopefully by the end of 2009, those will be falling off as well!

I've started walking two miles three times each week and working out for one hour every other day on my elliptical and bike. Since the sun has finally decided to shine here in Germany, K and I have been taking walks around the block. There is this road (sorry no pic, maybe later) that is extremely hard to walk up. It's a very steep incline, about 500 meters long. My goal is to be able to walk up that hill, pushing K in her stroller with ease. Currently, by the time I make it to the top of the hill, I feel like falling over. As you can imagine, this hill has become my Arch Enemy, but I have great determination and...this hill is going down!

So, what are some of your goals that you'd like to accomplish this year?

Turquoise and Fuchsia TuTu

TuTu's are so much fun! When you pass a little girl in a tutu, you can't help but smile. My little girl is the epitome of all things girly, and she LOVES to wear her tutu! Your daughter will beam with pride when she wears her tutu from MarieLynn Boutique!



Turquoise and Fuchsia TuTu


Don't forget to accessorize! This look can be completed with a number of Hair Accessories from MarieLynn Boutique.

Fuchsia Mini Korker

PST Designs

Before I had my family, I was always on the lookout for the hottest trends and the cutest clothes. I had a new outfit, with matching accessories every weekend. Now that I have K, I am obsessed with the newest fashions for babies and children. Sure, you can go to Macy's and find adorable clothing for your kids. But then you will see that same outfit on other children when you go to play groups. That is why when I came across PST Designs, I fell completely in love with their Girls and Boys Boutique Clothing.

I just had to offer these adorable pieces on my site! I can't even put into words how fabulous these products are. Unlike shopping at a department store, at PST Designs, your children's clothing is made to order. No two children are built physically the same way, your child may wear a 3T in the waist, but have long legs that requires you to purchase a 4T. Then you watch in agony as your child struggles to keep his pants on his waist at the playground. You won't have this problem when you purchase from PST Designs! Patty, designer and owner, will work with you to ensure that your outfit is custom made to your child's body.

Have a Ballerina themed birthday party for your daughter this year? PST Designs can custom make any of their outfits to fit your needs. At PST Designs you can find custom outfits for all Holidays, Birthdays, and special occasions for your Prince or Princess!

PST Designs speak for themselves:



Pink Hopping Easter Bunny Dress



Birthday Cupcake Swing Top and Pants



Hanging Monkey Longall
