Thanks to everyone who shared their great pics with us. We will definitely do another give away soon. Keep an eye out for our md emails!

New Skirts: Part 2

The other cute Boden t-shirt that came is screaming to be paired with the Kaleidoscope purple. What do you think?

New Skirts for the Girls

Received some really cute t shirts from Boden this week . . . have been working on md skirts to complement them. This is what I have decided: pink cord, fabulous cream and minnie. I am loving it!

I'm not here to make friends . . .

In the craziness of the first soccer Saturday of the season, I managed to catch a couple minutes of NPR's This American Life. This week's topic is frenemies. A segment of the show covers the reality TV phenomenon known as, "I'm not here to make friends." I love this. . . Where else in life would you say this? I think I'll walk into the kindergarten coffee on Wednesday and just throw out a, "I'm not here to make friends." That will go over big. I will definitely be voted off the island.

Marvel at this . . .

If you haven't found Jane Marvel and you are looking for an affordable bag, luggage, wallet or make-up case, go to www.janemarvel.com. So cute and practical. I bought the ALL DAY LONG HANDBAG. Let us know what you choose!

Spice Up Your Life

My girlfriends from high school can COOK. All of them. When we get together for dinner, we usually skip the restaurant. We do a pot-luck evening. I cannot get a recent birthday dinner out of my head. Click on this link for the amazing shrimp that Nellie made. Her friend from college dreamed this yummy creation up.

This is perfect for Labor Day weekend grilling.

love the name bubbles

We got our name bubbles in the mail just 5 days after ordering them. And, they turned out really cute. The kids and I put name bubbles on everything this weekend - tap shoes, sweat shirts, coats, and folders. Here is Maggie's favorite snoopy folder that she added a "fun sticker" name bubble to -- right on the surf board. They are easy to apply without getting air bubbles (except the very biggest fun sticker, which is probably 4 inches long - we used them on their pencil boxes), even for my kids. I have not washed any clothing with a name bubble yet - need to wait 24 hours before washing after applying. I'll keep you posted. So far, we are excited about the purchase!
