Cute Thank You Idea

LG recently turned 7...how did she get so old?!? Her dad and I have sorta set a precedent of always having a birthday party which I have always loved. While we were married we always made a big deal out of each others birthdays so why would LG be an exception? This year, money was really tight and so I tried really hard to plan a party that wasn't going to break the bank.

Auntie Robyn suggested a "Teddy Bear Tea Party." LG loved the idea and so did I!

I will admit that a lot of my ideas came from Pinterest. If you aren't on there, you should be. Let me rephrase that....if you want one more thing to be obsessed about you should be there. If you want to see all the photos from the party, you can find them here.

The best part of the party, in my opinion, was the thank you cards LG and created. I knew that all the girls were going to be dressed up in fancy clothes and I know that they love to have pictures so I decided to take a photo of LG with each of her friends to send in a thank you card. You can do this for really cheap by just printed out a photo to put inside each card, we did it a little differently though. I had a lot of credits at Tiny Prints towards greeting card so we turned the photos into cards.

Here is an example of our finished product:


Once they were printed, I had them sent to us first. LG signed her name and did some drawings, etc. I really loved this idea because no only did the girls that got the cards LOVE them but now LG has a book of photos of all her friends which she loves to look at.

    There are many events that encourage people to participate in fancy dress competition. Schools organize different types of programs and events. Fancy dress competition is getting more popular.

A Single Mom on Mother's Day

Mother's Day as a single mom looks a little different. There is no partner to take the kids out shopping for gifts or remind the kids to make something for mommy. There is a chance that on the weekend of Mother's Day you won't even have your child, you will have to ask if she can come home early to spend the afternoon with you. Mother's Day will be church in the morning alone surrounded by other mothers holding tightly to their children beaming with pride. You may feel slightly sorry for yourself but as you see other mother's you realize how incredibly lucky you are to be in their company and that there are many women who will never be called "mom." You count down the seconds until your daughter gets home as you do every weekend she is gone. You can't wait to hear about her weekend and snuggle on the couch soaking in every ounce of her smiles and love. You will even be thrilled to hear her father's girlfriend taught her to tie her shoes because...

The Big Cleanse

Image
Tomorrow I am embarking on a cleanse. It all started when Cristie and Amy banded together to get Amy healthier. I wanted in on the fun so Cristie and I talked about it, but then life happened and we never really connected. I started getting healthy on my own and things were going great. They still are but I have hit a little bit of a plateau now that I am back working. Last week Cristie told met that she was going to do a 2 week cleanse with some people, including Amy and did I want to join in? I jumped at the chance. Here I am on the day before the cleanse starts and I am FREAKING OUT! First, I am cutting out caffeine. I like to think that I am not addicted to my morning cup of coffee (or 2) but I am sure that I am. This one is going to be tough. I am not looking forward to it. Coffee has become a comfort for me in the morning so taking that away will be hard. I am going to replace coffee with some yum tea and hope that I can get comfort from that. Second, eating healthy is ...

Stress Is a Crazy Thing

I have learned over the past week how crazy stress can make you. I broke out in hives on my legs last week, mainly behind my knees. It has progressively gotten work. I am itching like a crazy person and nothing is really helping. I can tell you that the more stress I deal with the worse they get.  For example, the horrible, mean text that I got from the ex that was intended to go to his girlfriend about me? Yeah, within hours my entire legs were covered with them. Another good one.....worry about going to the Dr. since my insurance hasn't kicked in yet made my back break out in them.  Fun times I tell you! It has been fun to listen to all the advice people have given me..... Take an oatmeal bath! Did that....made the hives 20 times worse! Take Benadryl twice a day! Currently doing that which is helping but makes me walk around like a zombie. Put wet towels in the freezer and then put on the itch! This works when I am home but for the 10+ hours I am out of the house...
