1st grade Valentines..

yay! we made our Valentines!! John just finished signing all 22 of them and i think they came out adorable... since my son is in the "allergy class" i wanted to stay away from any candy or chocolates so we decided to go with the bouncy ball idea.. and i am glad we did!

Valentine Ideas

Since most of the kids in my son's class are boys.. here a few "Boy Friendly" Valentine ideas...

Pink Polka Dot Banner

It's been soooo long.. i definitely need to start Blogging again.

Here are some pic's to get inspired...

I created this banner for my very good friend Kristina and her ADORABLE little girl Kendall on her Baptism Day.. it was the day before Valentines Day so the theme was red, pink, hearts and lots of love!!

A Monster Bash!

Since there are sooo many cutesy, adorable, fairy, pinky parties out there for girls, when i found this party idea @ polkadots & pirates for boys, i was hoping my son would want this for his 6th birthday (in 8 months) LOL!

I am just in love with all the vibrant colors and details put into this Monster Party!!

Well, it's finally here! the start of my son's journey into the world of pencils, books and hopefully none of the teacher's dirty looks =) and maybe now i will get a chance to get back to Blogging! (fingers crossed)

Good Luck John John!

Book Barn

One of our favorite places to go when we are out East is the Book Barn.. it is an old historic hay barn that sells used books and some antiques.. this is where we donate all of our old books and buy some gently used ones... my son loves to pick out new books to read while we are out here (and they're only a dollar!)

Mila's Daydreams

Just discovered Mila's Daydreams' blog today and i am just in love with these photo's... kinda makes me want to have another..... (just kidding) Here are a few of my fav's but I suggest you head over to her blog and check out the rest. Amazing!

Happy Birthday Mom

Today's my Mom's birthday.. So I thought i'd share a few oldies but goodies of her and I.. Happy Birthday Mom!!

whooo loves these?

I sooo wish these weren't for little girls... or else my son would be having a "Guess whooo's turning 2 party" I found these in the dollar section @ Target... sooo cute!! I just had to get a few..... aren't they adorable??

painting with no worries..

We all know how we get when they ask.. "can we paint?" or "can we play with play doh?"..

Well that is what is sooo great about summer.. let them have fun outside and afterwards just wash them off with the hose :)
