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!!

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
