Almost August

At least that's how I'm looking at it these days. We have started practicing for a new play at our church and that means the time will fly. Since I wont be working outside of the home from now on I am really looking forward to some time spent with Anthony. We celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary yesterday, well "celebrated" is a strong word, we saw each other, watch a little T.V. together and then kissed each other good night. I think we are gonna try and catch a movie today some time. Hey, I will take what I can get, Anthony has been working so hard lately and the kids are right here with us, so maybe when we hit that 20th year we can rush off somewhere alone. aaahhh.
Anyway, my business is going good, a comfortable pace, hopefully it will really pick up once school starts. My sisters and I are still trying to make the "Open House" happen but it may just be bumped to September since August has already filled up. I told Belle that we (just me and her) would go school clothes shopping this Wednesday, I'm really excited, I love picking out clothes for my girls. I think I will shop for Layla because she's still at the stage of getting tired and bored.
Anyway, that's about all that has been cooking in this kitchen, I hope you enjoy the rest of your July- I mean, "almost August" and don't forget to check out LaylaBelle for some really neat teacher gifts!

July!

It's hot and my kids and (let's be honest) I am so bummed that we may not see fireworks this year. I mean, the mature mother in me understands that a small spark can cause a huge fire, I love Smokey the Bear, but what do we do on the 4th??? On the 3rd our church is having a huge picnic which was very successful last year and I have total faith that it will be again this year. If you don't have any plans stop by around 10:45 on Sunday.
Well, hopefully we will get a gusher before the 4th and miraculously get to witness the beautiful display of color that night.
Happy 4th of July from my house to yours!

If you could stop time, what would it look like?

Changes

This month has been full of changes. First, my little Layla graduated Pre-School, then we get a new nephew and my baby Belle is on her way to camp and then 4th grade. Before I know it she will be driving off to college *sobbing*.
There have been big changes for me as well. I will no longer be working at Wee School but instead I will be working for myself (see sidebar for Laylabellejunkinmytrunk.blogspot.com) I've started an etsy.com store and will be planning a rather large "Open House" in August showcasing LaylaBelle's styles for the fall and winter months along with my two sisters and their own franchises. Amanda will be showing off some of her designer cookies and Michelle will be sharing her menu of meals she will be freezing and selling. It's gonna be fun but it also means lots of work on the home front.
That said, my posting of The Whimsical Woman may slow down a bit but PLEASE take a look at my sister blog www.laylabellejunkinmytrunk.blogspot.com to see what is new in the world of LaylaBelle

Happy Easter 2011

We had an awesome Easter, the Easter bunny left the girls a basket full of treats consisting of chocolate bunnies and other wonderful things. We then got dressed up in our beautiful Easter frocks and headed to church. Wow! Did we worship?! It was phenomenal. We ended our day at MawMaw's for lunch and pictures. I have had my Easter nap and now I'm going to start working on some necklaces. Don't forget to visit my "sister-site", LaylaBellejunkinmytrunk.blogspot.com.

Belle, my pre- preteen.

Belle is 9 now and she is loving it. We had a surprise water slide set up and all her family and a few friends came over to celebrate her birthday. We had fajitas and beans with rice and all the trimmings. What a fun day.

Time well spent

I'm sorry it's taken so long to post but I have been extremely busy designing a blog for LaylaBelle. If you've got time go check it out. Www.laylabellejunkinmytrunk.blogspot.com I hope you will enjoy!
