Baby Signs

My little boy LOVES to take a bath...LOVES it! So the other night as we were getting everything ready for bed what does he do??? Runs back to the bathroom, smacks the door, then starts doing the sign for bath!!! I was a very proud mama!!!

How did we get to the point where he could sign that he wanted to take a bath? Watch and find out!!!

THEY FIT!

Found these yesterday and almost cried! They actually fit...and they fit RIGHT!!! As I was browsing the GAP (my old fav. place to get jeans pre-baby) I grabbed these knowing that when I got into the dressing room I would just be ready to scream because they were going to look not so hot...and the price tag wasn't a selling point either BUT to my suprise as soon as I slipped these babies on...I said with a smile to my little shopping buddy hanging out in his stroller..."These just got BOUGHT!" Holla!!!

Oh and PS they are the 1969 Sexy Boot style! &&& If you bring in your old denim you get 30% off!!!

And the winner is...

So Proud!!!

I started with iheartsmiles back in December right after Christmas. At first I only did fun photo cards and planned BIG for Valentines Day 2010...

This cutie was my best seller!

I *heart* Sock Monkeys!!!

Then I started dabbling in stuff like this...

As my love for graphic art grew I started dabbling into spicing up my blog and taught myself TONS of really cool stuff...

My little shop started evolving as friends and customers started requesting help with their blogs, websites, logos, banners, and so on...

So today is a BIG day for me because my *FIRST* blog makeover has gone LIVE at

The Beauty Mark

Thanks to the awesome world of facebook ;O) I ran into this gal

Moose & Zee

My days as a SAHM are filled with LOTS of different things. But one special friend is FOR SURE going to make an appearance during the day...who you might ask???

MOOSE of course!!!

For some reason my little guy loves him! Something about his voice can send him running to the TV with a big smile on his face! And really...I happen to love him too!

Except when he sings this weird song around Halloween...

Nick Jr. is great! As a former elementary teacher I can totally appreciate the content that they cover on their programs! They also have TONS of uber cute crafts to do with your kids...

I got SUPER excited when I saw this one...

A No Sew Snuggle Pillow!!!

The directions seem SUPER simple...I really would like to attempt this one...I think it would make my little guy smile...

If Clay still loves Moose close to his 2nd B-day I think I'll do his party in a Moose & Zee theme!

Check out ALL of these CUTE Moose & Zee birthday things...

I got a sweet heart shaped locket from the my little Valentine and a card that said his hug was ready for pick up! Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

My element...

is Wood!!!

Well according to the new app on my phone! Yup! Interesting stuff! So here is a little shout out to my element...

Amelia Mae

Amelia Mae

Little Odd Forest

Cozy Blue

So what does it mean if your element is wood??? Well a lot actually BUT my fav things about it are that it says my qualities are...

• 
  
  planning (hmm that explains the list making)
• 
  
  initiating new projects (duh)
• 
  
  imagination!
• 
  
  compassion & competition

Oh it says my season is SPRING!!! I would t-totally agree...the time of planting seeds, beginnings, and new growth!!! Sweet!

Interesting that I found out I was pregnant 2 springs ago...

I'm cool now...

or at least thats what my friend Becca said once she found out I got an iphone yesterday!!! I was super stoked to FINALLY get my hands on this little beauty!!!

ok i know its upside down...but hmmm oh well

As you can see I already have a purple rubber protector over it...my fav color! BUT I am so excited to possibly make my own cover or get one of these cool handmade ones from etsy....

Cocodri

I like how it looks like a tie and shirt pocket...I bet you could make one out of an old shirt pocket and tie too... hmm thats one to throw at Crafty or Crunchy...

And then I found this...

by Blood Sweat and Threads

These are all made of vintage ties!!! So cool!

Im a sucker for these by Pipoca Handmade

So...whoa cute!!

These are super cute!!!!  by Sydney Angel

I think the felt ones are *super* cute and possibly easy to make! Since I just learned how to knit...I think I am going to attempt the DIY from *ELSIE*

Click here for the tutorial!!!

Hopefully I'll be back in a jiff with pics and an update on my new iphone cover!!!

Have a great day!!! Im snowed in here so...
