Look where is my design!

Last month I did a birthday invitation for a beautiful girl named Olivia. Liz (her mom) calls her Livie for short, and I have know her for several months throught an online board from BBC. There is one invitation that I have on my site that I did as a sample when I first started my business, and nobody had ever ordered that invitation until now.She told me the colors that she wanted and I made some changes on the fonts, translate the card to Spanish...

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today was my mom's birthday, which is mostly the main reason why my nephew and sister in law are in town. My brother is doing a Master in town, so he comes every Friday, but normally he comes by himself.We were not sure what we were going to do for my mom's birthday, but one thing I knew for sure: I wanted her to spend her day with her kids and grandkids. That was just going to be enough for her. The initial plans was for them to come to our...

Happy Land Part II

Yes, that is right!! We went back to the park. My beloved nephew and godson was in town (my brother, sister in law and nephew lives almost three hours away in the town that I used to live), and we wanted to do something together... He is 21 months old and I love that the girls spend time with him. This time the girls were not amazed... This time they laugh non-stop and had so much fun!! Ariel was the one amazed this time. We even let Gaby get...

Lunch time

Today I had a lunch from work. In most schools there is always a "Teacher's Appreciation" activity, and of course the administrative staff (me included) gets invited too. They took us to a buffette in a very good restaurant from the city. They also made some raffles and mostly everybody got something... I got a basket from a local rum. We dont drink alcohol at all, so I know it will get some dust in this house... My father in law will love it (as it even has souvenirs from the rum like a hat, a CD holder, and a few more things), but my mother...

Blind love

I have always heard that "A mother's love is blind". This "baby" is pretty dirty and even has wall painting on her face, but Gaby managed to get her cloth from Mimi's drawers, and of course she wanted pictures taken!! So, here is "Mommy Gaby" and her "Pretty Baby...

Mia's Nursery I Evaluation

Today I went to pick up Mia's evaluation. As she started in March, this is the first evaluation I get, so it is the firts time that somebody (besides the pediatrician) evaluates her. Her school doesnt start English until the 3 years old class, so her class have been completely in Spanish, so I had to translate it to post it. I know this will be VERY LONG, so Im thanking in advance to those that will take the time to read it.The progress interpretation...

Friends freaks

I have always been a big fan of the TV series "Friends". A few months ago, hubby and I were talking about how we needed some quality time just the two of us more frequenly, even if it was just in the house. We were thinking about watching a movie at least every other day, but it looked like too much as the truth is that it is really difficult to take 1:30 hours out of the girls and our business. So, after giving some thinking we decided to start...

Gaby's Pre-K Evaluation - Second Quater

Back in Decemeber, I did a long post about Gaby's evalation from the first quarter of Pre-K. Now, the school year is over and I wanted to share how was her evalation for the second quarter. This one is not as long as the other one, as Im just going to mention the ones where she shows progress or regression, not the ones that stays the same. Anyway, I really appreciate those of you that are going to take the time to read it. Dont forget that all...

Happy Land...

There is a mall that we hardly go because it's a bit far. There is also lots of traffic to get there, and people are wilder while driving in that area. Anway, they built a park with some rides back in January, and we have been trying to go since then. Today we finally decided to go and we had so much fun!!! Mimi was so happy with all the lights, and Mia and Gaby were happy with the rides... Gaby even got in the Pirate Ship (of course, it was not...

Mia and mommy's shopping day

The day was great. We got a lot of things done, and we were planning to take the girls out. Gaby and Mimi fall asleep, so I decided just to go with Mia by myself to a shop where I needed to get something. I hardly go out just with Mia, just I thought it was going to be a great way to spend some alone time with her.The store is far from our house and she fall asleep on the way to the store, and when we got there, she woke up and behave beautifully....

A message from God

A girl from school came to me with a bag full of little cards... They are cards with messages and Bible verses.... I picked out one and here is what I got:On the top right says: "God has picked up all your tears". Then, in the center says the Salm 56, 8-9... I dont like translating Bible verses, so here it is directly from an English version Bible: You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted...

New Signature

After a few months using the same signature (siggy), I finally took the time to update it... Here is my new one...

Taking care of the "other" baby...

We have been very bad parents to our car. We hardly take care of him, and the truth is that we cant live without "him" in this country. Public transportation is not an option for us, even though I dont think it will be an option in another country either, as the girls are in three different schools (and I already take over an hour to complete the "morning tour").Anyway, our car's joints were falling apart since a few months ago, and we finally took care of it today... Hubby spend the whole morning at the mechanic, and I can finally turn the...

Teachers Appreciation Card

Here is the card that Camila got to her teachers (Teacher, Teacher's aide and Nanny):I gave one to each one of them, and they were all really happy. And of course, all the other teachers were jelauous!! LOLI also made one for Gaby's teachers but I couldnt give it to her before she left on vacations, so I wont post it yet.BTW, the real card has her last name instead of her middle nam...

We have three winners!!!!!!!!!!!!

For over a month, you have seen a banner for a drawing for my customers... The drawing was valid for all customers that made an order between May 1 and June 15, 2008. I assigned a number to each one of the people that made an order and gave a number for each product ordered (invitations and thank you notes combos got two numbers). The winners were choosen using an automated generator and here they are: Third Prize: 15% of her next order: Abigail P. from Missy Prissy Boutique. She ordered a new logo for her company. Second Prize: 25% of her next...

Bloody Sunday....

How much blood can a house have on a Sunday?1 - Blood from Mimi's gums after she felt on the floor and hit herself with a toy.2 - Blood from Mia's broken lip after she felt on the floor because she was jumping and got dizzy.3 - Blood from Gaby's broken lip and gums after Mia throw her a toy in her mout...

Gaby learned a lesson

We live in a 3 bedroom house. One is the master bedroom, then the three girls sleep in one bedroom, and the third bedroom is the playroom. In the playroom we have some toys organized inside the closet in large bins (one bin for kitchen toys, one bin for arts and crafts, one bin for Little People, etc etc etc)... Well, Gaby knows she is not suppose to get in the closet without supervision, but she did. Not only she got in the closet but she asked...

Mia's last day of Nursery I

Today was Mia's last day on the 1-year-old class (Nursery I). They had a big party, and they bring an entertaiment company (just like Gaby's school). They had clowns and face painting clowns and they all had a blast. My camera was dead, but I gave one of the teachers my memory card as she told me she forgot hers. Mia was wearing the shirt from her Birthday Outfit with a jeans, and the headband from Mimi's birthday.Mia loves the *Puppet Corner* in...

We are 96% Compatible

Anelys&Ernesto96% Compatible♥ Anelys and Ernesto have been romantically-together for a long time. That alone demonstrates a degree of compatibility. Similar personality descriptions are a plus. The religious faith they share may help to form a bond. They both abstain from drinking, so that helps compatibility. Their astrological signs are in harmony, which is a plus. Their common love of animals is another good thing. And their views on children are similar. Both are sexually-uninhibited. Overall, Anelys and Ernesto are highly compatible....

I won, I won!!!

I never ever win anything. Just today I had the feeling that I wanted to play the lottery (never have), just because I was feeling the urge to scracth my hands (which people think it means that money is coming your way) and seconds later I heard on the radio that the lottery had 15 million pesos acumulated (around 450,000 US dollars).Well, I didnt won the lottery (of course, I cant win if you dont participate), but I did won a copy of the reading...

Girls Night Out

It happened!!!!!!!!!! For the first time in.... uhmm.... 5 years I got a Girl's Night Out. It wasnt a all night long thing, but I got to go out with Luz, chat with her, and spent some quality time with her without worrying about the girls running around, needing a diaper change, needing to be fed, etc etc etc.We went to a Shopping Center, and we stopped by a couple of shops that Luz loves, and in one of them we got a few things (for the girls,...

Gaby's last day of Pre-K

Even though Pre-K moving up ceremony and K's graduation was Saturday, they had their last day today. It was party day and the kids had a blast. The PTA organized a party for them and invited some characters and the kids loved them!!! They invited Dora, Boots, Diego and the High School Musical gang (not the real ones, of course).I didnt go, and hubby didnt know they were in school, so no pictures were taken by any of us... Hubby tried to find a...
