Not So Lucky

Nope, not me.
I really am not a lucky person. I have won ONCE in my life time. And that was a guess-how-much-candy is in the jar at girls camp. (I was everyone's BEST friend at camp that year) Anyway, I thought I would take a chance on winning something from this little shop here.
Or her blog Here
SO SO many cute things. I LOVE the little hearts necklace (pictured above)
or this one

If I was Irish, and I would LOVE to be I would want this one...

(my husband's name is Irish, does that count for something?)

hmm, maybe I shouldn't be sharing this with you, more of a chance for me to win...
no really, go check out her little Etsy shop too cute!

Could You Be Loved

It's no secret we Heart the "Marley's" and we heart music. So when I read that

Laurie Berkner and Ziggy Marley

(found HERE)

were going to do a duet together, I was pretty excited! Can't wait to hear Ziggy's new album.
He will be releasing his FIRST children's album May 5.

***also on the upcoming album
Paul Simon, Jack Johnson, Willie Nelson, Toots Hibbert, lots of Marley family members, and Elizabeth Mitchel.

SUpER SaRaH!!!

Today is my Sisters B-day!
She Makes me laugh!
I mean really laugh (almost pee my pants laugh)
there is nothing better than that!


Like when I made her dress up in my assortment of clothes
(yes! I had a gold bra - don't judge!)



Happy Birthday.
(sorry about the kidney stones!)

Poor Little Thing

My Niece is in the hospital, with double pneumonia -
that would be pneumonia in both of her lungs.

Poor Little!!!
I hope you get better fast, and get to come home soon!!

Sending you lot's of love, get well wishes and hugs!

She Loves To Laugh

I think that different languages have been on Miss M's mind as we have been discussing which kindergarten class to put her in. At several of the elementary schools they offer Spanish/English classes. As we were driving to playgroup yesterday K and I again were discussing kindergarten yet again and Miss M said. "I only can speak English, but I can laugh in 100 languages." And then she proceeds to give us a sampling of all of her laughs. Cute kid.

Feeling a little Crafty

While I was at my sisters watching her kids (last week), I took Miss M and Miss E to
HOBBY LOBBY!
I love that my sister has one minutes away from her home. I was looking for 1. pipe cleaners in red, pink and white and 2. Something crafty to make with M and E during O and A's nap time.


The girls were so cute looking through all of the valentine crafts. The settled on little wooden
heart boxes. I found a C U T E Amour sign that I REALLY REALLY wanted, but didn't want to pay the price they were asking! SO I chose a craft that I could make too. The LOVE sign. $4.99 1/2 off! SCORE. I had fun crafting with the girls. M and E did a great job painting and even helped me paint my sign. We had a stencil paint brush to add the dots. ( I HEART dots/circles)

Looks great on the mantel - especially with Miss M's heart box.

And those pipe cleaners (or chenille stems as they call them now) they were for this.

Which we hung in the girls toy room - and I made one for my friend since we were never able to get together for our craft day (thanks to Miss A and her rota virus!- It's been OH so fun
being housebound for the last week). Guess it's good we had some crafty things to do.

Hope YOU are having a WONDERFUL Hearts day!

LOVE IT!

Dress Up Clothes or Cute clothes
or dressing up cute girls in cute clothes...

Miss M is modeling her new candy dress - it looked so cute with her pink converse shoes.
When we were at my sisters the girls had so much fun playing dress up.
I was happy that even Miss A let me dress her up.
I am thinking I might have to borrow that cute little witch dress for Halloween.
Isn't miss E a cute fairy princess!

I Heart ...

this table centerpiece

I have been going through my magazines and have come across some pretty cute ideas - this was one of my favorites.

I totally want to have a party so I can decorate with this.

I am thinking a "Pink Ladies" themed party at a bowling alley for Miss M

From the June-July 2008 Rachel Ray magazine:
Derek McLane might be the set designer for the musical Grease on Broadway, but his stellar centerpiece is simply out of this world. Inspired by the hues of the iconic Pink Ladies and T-Bird jackets, McLane turned a funnel on its end and attached painted foam balls to it with skewers. We love it for a kids' party—or any bash that needs an eye-popping splash of color.

BYOB - It's a Tupperware Party!

Bring your own Bowl!

I wanted to post about the fun week I had at my sisters with her two cute kids, and mine.
Instead we are having a Tupperware party at my house!
At least that's what it could be if my kids could actually puke in the bowl.
Instead I am cleaning up floors, clothes, little bodies etc.
But really, how does a 15 month old baby tell you she is going to throw up? At least Miss M can tell somewhat...but we still have not made it into our bowl...

so today I am VERY thankful for wood floors, Lysol, towels, Dove soap, hot water and a washing machine! And a Daddy who is on his way home with Gatorade!
