Change is good.

I love change...embrace it, in fact. Always feels great to start something new. So...I'm in the process of updating my site...hopefully making it more fun to look at! Which means, it's under construction for a bit, so ignore the randomness you may see as I'm updating it. :) I'm SO excited because I just printed some business cards with my new "look" & they'll be delivered by Friday! The cards are full color, front/back and rounded corners. Just typing that out, makes me smile. I can't wait to see how they turn out! It's the little things that make my day, I tell ya. Amaretto ice cream with Heath topping really makes my day, too... ;)

Kids are just down-right hilarious

Aren't kids so funny? What comes out of their mouth's sometimes just really makes me laugh! I can't wait till my little one can talk...judging by this photo, it looks like he's gonna have a lot to say! So my super sweet friend, Mandy, mailed me some really funny baby bloopers that I just had to share for fun. It's sure to bring a laugh to all you mom's out there...enjoy!

DUTY FREE

My 6 year-old , Marlon, recently bought a toy with his allowance. When the clerk told him how much he owed, it was a few cents more than what he'd expected. Marlon questioned the price, and the clerk explained that was the price with tax. Marlon replied, "Oh, okay. I'll buy it without the tax, then." - Sherrie; Odessa TX

NICE MOVE

I was pregnant with my second child when I took my 2-year-old daugther, Emmerson, to visit my aunt. We were talking about her unborn sibling, when my aunt asked Emmerson if the baby kicked. Emmerson looked extremely puzzled and replid, "No, he's nice!" - Katie; Ferndale, Washington

BRACE YOURSELF

My sister introduced her boyfriend, Joe, to my 3-year-old son, Jack. When Joe, who has braces, smiled and said hello, Jack asked, "Why are you wearing a necklace on your teeth?" - Courtney; East Aurora, NY

TOY STORY

I was at a fast-food restaurant with my children when my 3-year-old daughter, Emilia, said she wanted a toy with her lunch. I told her that you only get toys with Happy Meals, which we didn't buy. She looked at me and asked, "So is this a sad meal?" - Heidi; Grand Rapids Mich.

LOVE IT!

Summer fun

Here's a fun invite I did for my friend, Amy. Her little cutie is turning 2 this month & she wanted to have a luau-themed party. Amy's really great at coming up with fun ideas for her kids parties, as she's a little party planner herself! She owns an awesome party planning business called PartyMall.com. Ever need party planning ideas or ever feel overwhelmed with managing details of your own party? Amy is THE person to work with. She has an incredible work ethic and is truly talented at what she does (plus, she's super nice!). :) 

In Amy's words, here's what PartyMall.com is all about - "Partymall.com is a website that helps you plan your own your parties.  The site provides tons of unique birthday, theme and shower ideas along with planning tools for budgeting, party photo hosting, guest list management and much more!  It also has a national directory of party vendors from bounce houses and children’s venues to bands, dj’s and limos!  And of course you can’t throw a party without supplies and Partymall.com has you covered there too. In summary, Partymall.com is your one-stop shop to make you the 'Hostess with the Mostest!'" Be sure to check out her website when you get a chance.

Enjoy the summer pool parties...our family can't wait to go to this one! HAPPY SUMMER!!
