sourceMy parents god-daughter died. She was only 22.Back in May the doctors gave her 2 weeks to live, and I asked for you all to pray for her.Well, after much more time than the doctors thought possible, she died.

Lady Bug Theme Birthday Party
My Princess loves lady bugs. So, instead of choosing a cartoon character this year for her birthday theme, we decided to let her dress up as a lady bug and throw her a lady bug theme birthday party. I made my own lady bug cupcakes, bought red handled bags (and put lady bug stickers on them), filled them with red and black toys and candy, and bought red and black plates, cups, and napkins. We had fun! The cupcakes were a hit, even if they were very time consuming to make. Thank you … [Read more...]
No Break for You

She loves school!We kind of slacked off a bit too when we got home. My goodness, the holidays are busy!Nothing like shopping at the Goodwill and finding a 79 cents book to kick start the routine again.My brilliant daughter loves it! And I love the price. (Who doesn't love the Goodwill?) The books and education section has become … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday, Princess!
Three years old already!longwaitforisabella 2010Where has the time gone?It has flown by.Before I know it she will be a teenager. Oh my!When she woke up, first thing she said, "Can I open my presents?" It must be so hard for a toddler to see presents under the tree that you cannot open. The next thing she told me, "I am 3, I am not 2 anymore." She really is just too cute for words some days.Birthday dinner (her choice):Avocado Sushi (of course) for dinner. Mini hot chocolate cupcakes for … [Read more...]
Another New Friend
My Princess loves finding "new friends". Once it was a ladybug, but on our vacation in Hawaii it was a small crab. Her and her daddy found him, down the beach from me. She whispered to her new friend, "I love you." Daddy couldn't quit talking about how cute it was.She ran towards me holding the very small crab in her little fist. As she opened her fingers the little guy got away, very quickly.She tried to find him as he dug himself down lower into the sand. And he was gone."I need to find my new … [Read more...]
