The Little Ones

Yep, I know! Where have been continued. There is so much that is

going on this way not including all the activities

that will be going on for the kids.

Speaking of the little ones this here girl will no longer

stay on her back.

We officially now have an expert roller so that means keeping an extra close eye on her.

Kyra turned 6 months just recently. It has been

half a year already!!!!

As for these two....
they are learning and growing like weeds!!!
I have been promising a good healthy post which I assure
is coming.
Catch you all soon!

Stay Tuned...

Soon this little web home of mine will look a tad bit different...
=)

HOLY BABY BATMAN!!!!

Where have I been?!!!!
Lots going on so my poor blog has been
somewhat neglected. I assure you as
always that I am here and kicking
and I am not the only one as you can see!
She is ready to be on the move.
Be back soon with a photo heavy
post and a few good find pics!

Too Cuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!!!!!!

A rabbit named Hip and a turtle named Hop
defy convention when they team up to win a
rap music contest against big artists such as
Ludafish and Notorious P.I.G.


I SO have to get this book! LOL!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEILANI

Little Bit of This, Little Bit of That...

Just a few things that I am working

on!

For the past couple of days

I had been watching knitting

tutorials on YouTube.

This is an art that I have

wanting to learn for quite

some time now.

Well, I was so desperate this time

around to try it that I

dug out some yarn,

fetched some skewers sticks,

and went to town! LOL!

This is so basic beginner

but I am happy that it

is turning out to look like

something.

Maybe a scarf...

This is my first time for knitting

as well so be gentle.

This is a Prima project in the works....

YES! I am drawing yet again! I LOVE this mans face!
You might also know him from Heros. I think his real
name is Zachery. Don't know his last name. They did
such an amazing job with the movie casting.

That is all for now folks. I know that I have slacked
on Good Finds. This constant weather change here
in LA has my body trying to fight off all sorts of things.
I'll be back on it soon enough.
Bye bye for now...
=)

Hug Your Dreams...

                                                     Mod Cloth

Project 1st Cake...

was a complete success!!!!!!!

You know how after the party you

have loads of cake left?!

Well there was absolutely NONE

of this cake left!!!

I was SO HAPPY the it

it turned out right. It was my FIRST

time ever baking and the cake

turned out so moist and yummy.

Everyone couldn't believe that it was

my first time.

More pics to come later of the

b-day party. I worked most of the

time so still not many pics were

taken but I am satisfied with what

I did manage to capture.

The cake that I made was a basic

1-2-3-4 cake by Paula Dean.

It can be found on Food Network.

If you have never baked before

start with this.

See you all soon

Be Blessed!

Guess What I Am Doing Right Now?!

Cooking, cooking, and finishing up some crafty things for
the party tomorrow. I am baking from scratch for the first time
and will let you know how that venture turns out. EEEKKKKK!!!
LOL! I might even throw in a picture weather success or
failure....

Since preggy sick days are behind me from last year I
will be able to take pictures of my own. A friend was
kind enough to this for me when I was sick last year
but then her computer crashed! Lost everything including
pictures of the party. I have a few still waiting to be edited
so I will post those along with this years.

I kept it real simple this year. There is so much on my plate
and to be quite honest it is not worth all the stress. In the
end, the children pretty much just want to spend some
good- ole- time with family and friends.

See you real soon!!!

Is This A Photo Blog?!

Lately, it seemed that way right?!

Here are some not so long ago

projects that I finished.

The first three features Noel Mignon

Sweet Sue Kit. Last I checked there

were only a couple of those left.

The last project features

Momentas products! I kind-of

went a little bonkers on the

florals.

Hee, Hee...

I know that I was supposed to be back with Good Finds but
I got way caught up with birthday party plans and I had to drive
out to Palmdale, CA this weekend. That wore me out but it was
a nice drive. There may just be a few Good Finds coming later
on tomorrow. Will have to play it by ear.
See you all soon!!!

Poppin In!

My birthday babies!!!

Jadon just turned 6 this past

Monday and Leilani will be

4 on the 29th.

I will be throwing a little

birthday bash on the

16th.

I was just recently

inspired by a certain

blog with a certain

tutorial that I will be

sharing later. There was

a certain post that inspired

their birthday them

this year.

Happy Birthday!!!

Be back soon with Good Finds!!!

 This shirt has become one of my faves. I am really into the washed out look right now.

 Definitely one of the greatest finds of all!!! She just had her second set of shots yesterday
and is doing quite well in spite of it.

Well September...

it has been a good run. Hats off to those who blog everyday!!! =)
It is definitely a full time job in itself.

HEY, tomorrow's the first of October and I have some Good Finds

events that left me on edge but I am still here! If I am not here I am
somewhere roaming around on facebook. LOL!

See you soon!

Community Picnic Part ll

This weekend I became so caught up into just taking a breather for myself.

The weather was nice so I sat outside with Kyra and just enjoyed the warth

ot the sun. Blogging was set aside and actually did some scrapbooking to

ease my mind a bit. Sometimes you just scream inside for some time to your-

self. This weekend was one of those times. Here are a few more pics of

the picnic that was held on the 18th.

                                I am watching time just pass me by when it comes to my kids. They
                                are getting so  big so fast. Since Kyra is my last I am trying very hard
                                to take in as much baby time as possible and not take her for granted.
                                Leilani is just a little princess and knows it and Jadon is definitely one
                                of those where the wild thing are type of  boy. I am planning a small
                                birthday party for the both of them since their birthdays are in the
                                same month. This years theme to kick off the fall is Indians!!! I am
                                going to be putting together craft activities to make feather head bands,
                                arrows, and maybe paper bag vest. Will have to see.


                                Stay tuned for a late Good Finds post!!! I had a lot of them this past
                                week!

Sleepy Hollow

Noel Mignon Sleepy Hollow

                 
                    First I just wanted to say that I have not forgotten Good Finds coming up later
                    today. Second, check out the latest and greatest kit from Noel Mignon. It is
                    just full of tricks and treats! More treats than tricks I would say!!! LOL! Look
                    at all the drool worthy yummies.

                    Head on over to claim yours!!! I will be back soon!

Community Picnic Preview Part l

Fridays Good Find

I am back with this Fridays Good Find!
Todays find had me thinking about how not to long ago
Companies made things to really last. They were
quality products and required very little maintaining.



I bought a tripod a little while back and one of the handles
broke off due to my son knocking it down by accident.
CHEAP was my first thought.
The thought was comfirmed when I found these!

They are older versoins of tripods but boy are these things

heavy and sturdy!!! Everything just about on these bad boys

are metal. You can knock them down and they would bounce

right back up again. LOL! I consider them to be an

excellent good find!

I hear sleep calling my name. =)

Goodnight!

So September...

I haven't been perfect but I have been pretty good.
My kids are off to school, I am working on starting
school, and baby Kyra is blossoming into such a rare
beautiful flower. There is always something to do
so I find myself keeping busy enough not to focus on
them being gone. SIGH...











In other news PRIMA has a new fan page that I know
you're going to want to check out!!!
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Prima-Marketing-Flowers/149525251733751
Primas friends page was all filled up!!! I can believe that!






Over at Noel Mignon Challenge blog we were thinking that it would be such
a neat concept to focus more on our styles. Noel did a fantastic job describing
the different styles that each of us have. Head on over to see what we
have created foe this challenge!!!
http://www.noelmignonchallenge.blogspot.com/

Tomorrow our community will be heading over for this years

pinick. I have to make sure that both of my batteries are charged

and my camera is ready to go.

I will be back soon with Fridays Good Finds!

=)

Kyra Says Hi

In her own language that is....

Good Finds

So I know that I have missed the last two days of posting
but for good reason. Jadon and now Leilani will be away
from home now growing up. Coming into this world with
a great big hello only preparing them eventually to say
goodbye is so bittersweet. Jadon will be starting first grade
and Leilani will be starting her early learning adventure
all on Monday. Their birthdays are coming up as well. I just
can't believe that they will be 6 and 4!!! SIGH!!!


I am thinking about doing this every Friday(fingers crossed)
where I post Good Finds. By good finds I mean it right down
to the exact meaning. They will not be items bought! We are
blessed to have a donation center here and it is kind of like
going thrifting. I have gotten a great deal of FANTASTIC items
in every catorgory you can think of so I would like to share
my good finds with you!



This is the purse that I switched to yesterday. I am a HUGE
fan of belts and wish this monster of a buckle was on one!!!!!
I am by no means addicted to shoes. If I find a couple of good pairs
I wear them down to the bare bone. Seriously! These are a few
that I have come across. The middle pair I am sending to my mother.
They are 9 1/2 which are way too big for me. I thought of her when
I saw them.

This is an altered pic of a cute can that I found. LOL! I turned it
into a poster! I will post what the can really looks like a little
later.

Like I mentioned, I am a HUGE fan of belts!!!

This is definitely something that I think that I can keep up

with. Inspired by Mondays are still in mind but baby Kyra

takes up so much time and naturally she comes first.

Hope you enjoyed this little post!

Catch you all later!

The Cutting Edge

Me: Is it ok to take pictures of certain aspects of the class?

Dietician: I suppose so if you would like!

Me: I know, I'm strange...

Dietician: No, but no one has ever ask that before!

Me: Really?!

Dietician: Really!



So I am taking this 6 week class where we meet every Tuesday.
It is a privately funded program which means I don't have to
pay for it. What a blessing! I have been health conscious for a
while but fell back on a few things so this program is perfect to
get me back on track. It is also a win win situation because it
can be passed down to my kiddos. Here are just a few things that
I learned tonight.

1. Only 8% of cancers are due to genetics.
2. 4/10 Americans will have some sort of cronic illness in life.
3. It takes the brain 20 minutes to tell the body that it is full.
4. Vegetarians have an extra 10 year life span.
5. Dark soda, except for root beer, strips the body of calcium.


Yea, those are just a few fun facts if you want to call it that. Some-
thing that I have heard time after time again is that a simple
change in diet can result in the prevention/reversal of a number
of ailments.



Our assignment was to set five S.M.A.R.T. goals and to pick
one that we struggle with the most to work on.

S. Specific
M. Measurable
A. Attainable
R. Realistic
T. Timeline


Drinking enough water has always been tough for me so my
goal is right now is to start working on drinking four 8 oz. glasses
of water per day. I can do this!!! LOL!
It feels as though I have given a mini class of my own. LOL!
Anywho, must be going now. I hear sleep calling.
Be blessed and send some cheering on my way!
