 Tatum loves to cheer, this year she is doing jumpstart at TDS and cheering with varsity girls at SJM! I am so proud and I know one day soon she will be a cheerleader at her school.  Just us and a few friends making signs for Justin Beiber!! What a great night!! More to come :D

Fall..Will you ever get here?

 

 

   

 Summer has lasted way to long this year. I am so ready for fall..cool weather, jeans, t's, boots and hot coffee with friends.  There are lots of great looks this year, wedgie sneakers, hats, sweaters, and booties are going to be big this fall and winter.  Your style is your own. It says who you are, without speaking a word.. I love all these looks from different Pinterest boards..

Laughter in Napa...

Girls Weekend In Napa

Coffee Break

It had been such a long time since US girls had gotten together for some Me time, away from our families..Mom had just gotten done with her Chemo, and has been recovering well, so It was a wonderful celebration!! It was so nice to just sit and talk and catch up on all of our busy lives. Becky is in South Lake Tahoe, me in Fresno and mom is in Lemoore, so the quick "come on overs" don't happen very often, so when we are together we savor every minute and hold on to all the laughter and silliness that we can be when we are together reflecting on our past lives and talking about our current situations and our futures..We told ourselves that we are going to make this an anuual event, because time truly slips away too fast. And let's face it, When mama is Happy, everybody is Happy.  Take time for yourself, your inner little girl will appreciate it and I believe you can become a better sister, daughter, mother, wife and friend!!

The Mom



Love these girls!!

Tatum Rock the House @SJM !!!

   

Here we go SJM, here we go!

 It's funny how little girls all want to be princesses, or singers, or cheerleaders!! Well my daughter is no exception to the rule..She has already been a princess ( and grew out of that stage quickly) and is currently working on her rockstar status, and attitude, but she is truly enjoying being a cheerleader! She has such the personality for being in front of a crowd, and the moves too!!! I am so proud of her, she did an amazing job at the High School football game. She kept up with the Varsity girls and had an incredible time!! I can only imagine how good she is going to be in the next few years, as in my eyes is already the best!!

Ready for fall...

What an amazing look..All from Ralph Lauren. Classic style that screams gorgeous..So ready for foggy cold mornings, especially in this outfit!

Chicago

 For the last 2 years my husband and I have gone to Chi town and Indiana for business. I love this city.!! It is so family friendly, with tons of museums, parks, and of course Magnificent shopping on the Mile.  This town never disappoints.. We had amazing food, weather and fun!!

Just Sparkle

As a mom, we find it hard some times to have the time we need to get ready, just to leave the house. Hats are a great way to easily disguise the need for make up or doing your hair.  I have always loved wearing hats, and in my years of being a mommy I have had lots of fun hats. Well in my Aha moment after buying hats for years, I have found my passion of creating the hats I love to wear and passing them on to you. If you love bling you will love these hats. Lots of bling, little bling, appliques or just rhinestones and patches, I can create the fun look you want. Sparkle On....

Cheer!

Its that time of year again. Come out and see Tatum

Welcome to the New!!

Welcome to my new blog Design.. So exited, Kate at 17th Avenue designs did an amazing job!! Thank you Kate!!

New Beginnings....

Well, it has been over a month since my last blog, what a crazy August..I finally have a few minutes to breath and reflect.  Had a great summer, work was busy as usual, we opened a new store in a different city, so that has been exciting. Its a wonderful city, I love change and new places to see and visit. Kids were busy with summer camps and friends. We are two weeks into school and still working out the bugs and jitters of a new grade and lots of expectations.  My kids never cease to amaze me. We have great teachers, but I know this year is going to be full of challanges so I am praying for guidance and peace and lots of knowledge. I can't belive the workload of these young kids these days. School is not what it used to be!

It is Labor day weekend already, the Hot weather is starting to fade and the fall and Holiday decorations are making their way to the stores. It just never stops or slows down..

Take a deep breath and take it all in..Each day passes so quickly, enjoy the laughter and hugs!! xoxo

Summer Full Swing

Well its been a while since my last entry and I have been non stop. I thought this summer was goind to be a little less chaotic since school was out, but I think it has been even busier juggling work and kids. Tatum enjoys her friends at campus club while Tyler like to hang out with his dad at work.. Only 3 more weeks of summer vaca then back to school. In some ways I'm glad, but I will miss those little buggers, its been a good summer so far..Enjoy your day!!

Recital

Well another year of dancing has come to an end. Tap/jazz and Hip-hop.Tatum has learned alot and is an amazing dancer. She is constantly moving, dancing, singing... She is truly talented ... I am little biased. Cause she is my daughter but she is a ray of Sunshine always..brake a leg tonite hunny( not really though). Xoxo.

Marriage

On vaca with my husband..

 

Boys....

Went camping with my husband, my son(who is in the picture) my 2 nephews and one of their friends. As they were building a camp fire I listened to their conversation and just laughed and realized how different boys and girls are. As a mom I just sit backed and laughed at the silly and gross things that amuse them.  My son rode his little heart out and we ended the day without any major injuries. It was a great weekend!!

Room with a view

As I spend my last day in Santa Cruz, I woke up to a gorgeous sunny coastal day. I opened all the windows in the camper we were staying in and this was the view. So amazing.. this trip was fun,  full of kids and laughter now on to our next adventure....Motorcycles!!

Childhood memories

As a young girl I spent a lot of days down at the beach in Santa Cruz.So glad my kids get to experience the same thing....and with cousins

I have been so wound up lately that it is hard for me relax. Some events in my life have taught me that constantly being on the go is not good, and it is very hard to slow down.....I don't need to be in a car constantly traveling somewhere..I am unwinding and enjoying a chair outside somewhere listening to kids laugh or converse. It is amazing how the simple things in life can heal you..Let go and relax..of course having a starbucks in hand always helps..haha. Sparkle on!!

Baby your a Firework

Happy 4th!!

Well the 4th of July is here!! A wonderful family holiday made for barbeques, swimming, boating, and spending time with friends and family!! Have a safe and wonderful 4th whatever you do!!

Well today is my 9th  Wedding anniversary. Knowing this my son did the sweetest thing ever. We ran to the bead store to get some supplies and Really wanted some money..he wanted to run home to get his money to buy something and I told him no. If there was something he wanted I would buy it. He purchased a Pack of beads, as I got my stuff and it wasn't till we got home that just melted my heart.  As we were leaving to go the store he pulled out a strand of gorgeous beads, and my first thought was he stuck them in his pocket without paying, but when I wasn't looking he ran back and bought them with the change left over, and told me that was my surprise.  Sweetest jesture ever.  I love my son...

Kids

As I was getting my daughter ready today for summer camp I simply just listened to her stories of the previous day and her excitement of what went on in her day.. She is growing so fast and becoming so mature already. Her shoes are tied perfectly and she so proud as am I. There is no greater gift than having children ..Enjoy your day today

For the love of bracelets

Sometimes you just have to wear them all

Tatum loves Tyler: New day!!

New day!!

Life is a grand adventure. Today don't stress, be happy...Take in something simple like 5 minutes outside enjoying the chirping of bird, or call a friend and catch up.  Smile, this life is passing too quickly, be happy and pass it on..
