So I am officially less than 2 weeks away from my wedding, and I am more then a little bit PANICKED!! My to-do list is about a mile and a half long, and every time I cross something off, it seems that I have to add 2 other things on there.

He has been working relentlessly outdoors whenever the weather has been nice and when it starts to rain he moves his fanatical cleaning inside. Last night, for instance, he decided that {Read More}

April 29, 2013 by Leave a Comment
Kids’ fashion this spring summer 2013 is all about letting their fun side out, not that there is a dull side to them.

I finally coaxed it out of her, and she admitted that two {Read More}

V is very particular about what clothes she wears. Yup, at only 6 years old she has her own ideas about style and what she will or wont put on her body. I must admit, some of the outfits she comes up with are pretty crazy, and I applaud her confidence in wearing them.
