Never paid a whole lot of attention before....

Yeah.. I have to admit...

I never paid a whole lot of attention to childrens clothes/stores before when I was out shopping.... I mean WHY would I really?? Most of my friends' kids are pre-teen or teenagers by now.

(yeah.....I am a late mother to be....either that or my friends had theirs early....they may be the wiser....)

So I go to the Mall last night and run across this store JANIE and JACK.. that has VERY quickly become my favorite now....I oohhed and aahhhed over ALL the absolutely adorable clothes.... of course... they come with a hefty pricetag too (just my luck) but I have never seen more adorable baby/kids' clothes EVER! I pondered through the sale rack and ended coming home with this sweet outfit... even sale prices were still a lot but I couldn't help myself!! They are made SO well.. and just classy...

Just HAD to share!

4 weeks left

I cannot even believe that I only have 4 weeks left for my Due Date. For those who don't know.. I am having a girl.. but still haven't decided on a name yet... DH and I can't seem to agree in that department (do other couples have this problem?)

I am full of all sorts of emotions that it's almost overwhelming. Paranoid, scared,anxietal, worried, excited, it goes on and on... i feel I have SO much to do between now and then but hardly have any energy to do anything. And... realistically it's not a guaranteed 4 weeks.. it could happen anytime.. (YIKES!)

What happened to this burst of "nesting" energy that someone told me you get? I'm still waiting.....

So.. since we are having such a hard time coming up with a name.. I thought I would post a poll to get some opinions....

These are names that have been considered at one point or another... let me know what you think by voting... :)

Vintage Creative Packs

I put together some fun Creative Packs together months ago, and just recently got a chance to list them on ETSY. For anyone who is interested the packs are an eclectic mix of all things creative.. paper, ephemera,ribbon,lace,fabric,photos,, etc etc

I have separated them into color schemes and have Orange/Brown,Pink, and Yellow packs for now.

CHECK THEM OUT IF YOU'RE INTERESTED :)

Without further adieu.....

Introducing Miss LUCY LU........

This is the new addition to our family...

I thought it would be a LONGGGG time before we got another dog only because when you have to let go pf them...the heartbreak is so horrid... but after coming home to an EMPTY house day after day for weeks on end.. we just couldn't tolerate it anymore. We were leaving again as soon as we got home because we couldn't bare the fact that Bailey, nor Scout were there anymore to talk to, greet us, love us.. and for us to love them.

We decided a home is not a home for us without a dog. So we have warmly welcomed Miss Lucy Lu into our lives. All the stars must have been aligned just right because she kind of fell into our lap.. and I suppose it was just meant to be.

Although she can NEVER replace my children Bailey and Scout... we now have another we can love in her own way.... not to mention.... I realize now JUST how EASY Bailey and Scout were! :)

She is a firey ball of fur, so innocent, curious, and lots of work.. but well worth it.

She is now 9 weeks old.. and growing and learning so fast... I only hope she is completely trained by the time baby comes :)

To see more pics of her... which are hard to get really because she is always moving if she's not sleeping.. CLICK HERE
