Designer Favors


I love to feature the shops of fellow stay at home moms! I think we all need to stick together for our own sanity. Etsy is a way for many of us to socialize, create, and make a little extra money for our families.



This absolutely lovely Etsy shop is named Designer Favors. Featuring adorable cupcake toppers, handpainted favor boxes, gift tags, birthday banners, and more.....


Keep this shop in mind for your next party, wedding or get together. All colors and quantities can be customized to create a one-of-a-kind color coordinated event.

It's Party Time!


Just made my 300th sale in my Etsy shop! Woooo Hooooo

I love making my jewelry. Thank you to all who have supported me with your purchases, kind words, and encouragement. Here's to another 300!

Daily dose of embarrasment


Here is my daily dose of embarrasment. Graciously given to me by my 4 year old little boy...

Upon our arrival to school the teacher looks at my little girl and exclaims: "You got a haircut!" "It looks so nice."

To which my 4 year old little boy immediately (and loudly) responds: "We didn't get a haircut...we just combed our hair today!"

At least he spoke the truth....we did manage to comb our hair that day.

The French Mouse


I stumbled upon this lovely little shop on Etsy named The French Mouse. Inside I found beautiful pussywillow boutonnieres, feather hairbands, and flirty fascinators.


Have an upcoming wedding or special occasion? Need a special Gift? You will not be disappointed in this beautiful little shop. Visit her on etsy by clicking here: The French Mouse

Listing some new stuff.....

Listing some new items for the new year! Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2010!



Hello, It's me again....

Hello All...

Gosh its been a l-o-n-g time. We moved a couple months ago. Saying it has been hectic is an understatement. Moving with twins...well...that is a whole other story.

Here are my top 10 pieces of advice if you are planning on moving:

1) Don't
2) Nothing can be fixed "easily" or "quickly"
3) "A little paint" does not fix anything at all
4) Carpet + untrained dogs of previous owners = DISASTER
5) Do NOT move right at the beginning of the holidays
6) Do NOT move until your children are old enough to move out of the house themselves
7) Spy on the neighbors before buying (I am convinced my neighbor is a serial
killer: more on that later)
8) No, you can't fix problems with the flooring by just "Putting a rug over it"
9) No, it is not easy to remove a yard full of half dead plants. Just because they
are dead does not mean they come out of the ground any easier!
10) No, you will not be able to "squeeze" that piece of furniture in the spot that is a good 10 inches too small. Even if you REALLY want to put it there.

Trust me...I have learned the hard way ;)

But I am back!
