Last Day Of 3!

I cannot believe today is my BABY'S last day of being 3! It's just TOO crazy to think about! Yesterday she helped me make cupcakes for her friends in her class today! I love that she's at an age where she wants to help me in the kitchen and really be around me all the time! I hope we area always best friends (I fear this will not be so ages 10-22)! I love her to pieces and I am blessed to be her mommy! Here are a few pictures from cupcake prep to her little class party!

Is this not PRECIOUS!?

The ONLY Hello Kitty candle I could find! SO big! Really made for a cake!

This Big Boy Has A Big Boy Room!

I LOVE this picture of Anderson... it's HIM! He's all boy! And now his big boy room is finished. The bed was TJ's first bed that his parents bought him after he came out of his crib and used his whole life! It's a HEAVY iron bed and we painted it red. I love it! The quilt was given to us by a friend a LONG time ago (when Anderson was 4 months old I think) that worked for Williams Sonoma Inc. and got it at a sample sale. I got the shams for $9 each & the wall thingy (I don't know what to call it) when they went on sale a few months later and I am so excited I got to take them out of the box! The funky letters are from our local Ship & Stuff mailing place :) Nothing else is new though... just reworked. PopPop suggested putting the drums in the closet and that has worked well. It's his "studio" :) Enjoy the pics!

Domestic Ease Has Launched!

Ladies and Gent's, Domestic Ease has LAUNCHED! The new website is ready and it is awesome! My amazingly talented friend Kristin, her husband Greg, and their friend, Martin, who is the investor in this new company have created a magazine like look for Domestic Ease. It's very unique and I know you will enjoy adding it to your daily blog reading! They asked me to be one of 7 other amazing contributors!

I will be in charge of Friday's Top Twelve articles. One of the things I love best about the "blog world" is sharing ideas with one another and I feel like I am ALWAYS learning! This is why the Top Twelve is so fun for me. EVERYONE has something to share, some little finds here and there that may help make life a little easier!

While we are getting started I need friend and family to submit their Top Twelve lists (today's feature's Natalie!!) and the hope is that as Domestic Ease grows in popularity our readers will be sending in their own Top Twelve articles. So if you would like to submit a Top Twelve PLEASE EMAIL ME! Click HERE to see an example!

A few friends have already submitted their Top Twelve and I can't wait to publish them! They are great! So be creative and think about what you can't live without, number them 1- 12 and email me! I can't wait to see your lists!

Also, PLEASE add Domestic Ease on your blog roll and tell other's about the site! I know it will quickly become one of your favorite blogs!

Thanks friends!

Valentine's Day

I'm behind on my posts because last week I was a MESS! What does this picture tell you! :)


I FINALLY am feeling better and thought I was going to get to catch up on house work and lots of other stuff but no... I'm in a real estate class all week! YUCK! But here is a recap of our very non-eventful Valentine's Day because I was so sick!

Mom got these for the kids... can you say PERFECT!!!!!! Mrs. Drama and Mr. Funky!



Can I just tell you this funny story about Karoline's gift... a play computer. The kids stay at mom and dad's on Saturday nights because TJ and I have to be up so early for church set up. Mom woke Karoline up and said "Happy Valentine's Day"... Karoline was SO upset saying it could not be Valentine's Day because she did not get her computer! She was so upset.... Mom told me and luckily I had this computer from Target upstairs I got her for Christmas but saved it because she had too many Christmas gifts! Boy was she excited when she got home from church! She also got a princess devotional Bible. Anderson got a few trains (also left over from Christmas shopping... don't tell!) and a Bible.

Princess Tea Party

Karoline was invited to her first official tea party at her friend Sydney's house. It was a BEAUTIFUL party for the girls and they had a BLAST! The girls were so fun and just precious all dressed up. They were served their meal and many desserts, a cupcake and ice cream in sterling silver bowls, and were pampered with a manicure and made a craft. Karoline wore a beautiful silk dress passed down from Pressley, my earrings and necklace, plastic slippers and a crown :) So fun! We are thankful for all her girl friends!

Pray for Me Please!

Will you please say a quick prayer for me. I am very sick and have been for almost a week. It got worse on Saturday & Sunday and later Monday night I went to the emergency doctor. I have a VERY bad sinus infection and I am praying it will not develop into something much worse! I am starting to have chest pains as well and may have to go back to the doctor.

This has been hard on my family and I know my kids don't understand why mommy can't do things for them or be with them. THANK THE LORD for my amazing husband and my parents but I REALLY need to get well!

I have two jewelry shows this week, Thursday & Sunday, a brunch to help throw and attend, Bible study, and run the computer at church. I CANNOT take this much longer! So if you would pray for me healing that would be wonderful! THANKS!

SNOW At The BEACH 2010!

I didn't take the above pictures (I stole if off Facebook) but it's beautiful! I cannot beleive we got this much snow AT THE BEACH! We woke up to a winter wonderland and it is beautiful. Anderson took one look and said "Oh NO! A MESS. NO SIR!" So funny! Karoline wanted to get dressed ASAP and go play! Apparently it only snows like this in Myrtle Beach ever 10 years or so... therefor I have taken a LOT of pictures!

Karoline has LOVED the snow but Anderson did NOT! Karoline and TJ made a snow princess and a snow man to represent Karoline and Anderson. They did a great job! We have enjoyed our morning in the snow... it's already starting to melt! Sad! But we did enjoy it while we could...

I have done two more posts below so keep reading below this one... don't miss them.
