I've neglected this since March!
I guess I can't escape the fact that we are heading into the last months of the year. My son has his 4th birthday in less then 3 weeks. He has grand expectations for his party and I hope I do not disappoint lol. He has an obsession with Hummers and hopefully we can score use of a Hummer for a day (from a friend that has a car lot). It's going to be the Party Hummer complete with balloons. Sure to thrill :)
He is also getting ready for Christmas... I should let this kid start preparing my shop for me, he is so on top of things! Last night while I was laying in bed with a headache he came to me with a pen and paper and wanted me to draw a picture of a Hummer for him. For his letter to Santa. But he was really sweet about the whole thing, and explained that I could draw the picture while laying down "like this" as he plopped down onto Daddy's side of the bed, planted his head on the pillow and pretended to draw. I finally gave in and drew the Hummer. He kept telling me what a good job I was doing. And it was going good until.... "No Mom!" Don't put a shed on it! If you put a shed on it then I can't get in and out! I can park it under the porch to charge! Don't make a shed!" By shed he meant canopy, or apparently the top of the hummer. He wanted a topless Hummer. I explained to him that it sounds more like he wants a Jeep then. And he got very exasperated and flipped the paper over. "Start over Mom." And I did. At 9pm with a headache. Thats a Mom's love for you. " That looks like a truck mom. I don't want a truck!" Finally I got it right and he was very pleased with the picture after instructing me on where to put the windshield wipers, lights, etc. Then I had to list where this Hummer will be able to drive, sand, grass, dirt, etc. And it "WON'T GET STUCK IN MUD!" Then I had to make a list of all the friends that will ride in it. This kid is the Christmas list Nazi. Tis the season.
Anyways, Santa better have his act together this year. And some $. And something really good for me.

A Few Favorite Baby Items From Etsy!
First is this beautiful hand smocked Bishop Style dress set by mytreasuredheirlooms. It takes my breath away. I love how sweet and innocent it looks, just perfect for a baby. The smocking is amazing and the tiny roses are so perfect! I show the 5 piece set here, but they also have the bonnet and the booties listed that you can purchase separately. *sigh* :)
Another one of my favorite things are these little sock babies by Chickabiddybaby . They are so precious and adorable! I purchased the rattle version for my daughter and I just love it. She personalized it with my daughter's name and also a little yellow rose (my daughter's middle name is Rose). Very soft and shabby-chic. Definitely a very special little keepsake to pack away for her! They also have some wonderful "sock kitties" and little onesies for sale. Take a look! :)
I also love the little skirts and dresses from the DrearyNeedle. I purchased a couple of things from here and absolutely love them! All of her dresses and skirts seem to be unique, and with a wide range of sizes from infant to 4t. I especially love all of the extra touches, ribbons, lace, ruffles, buttons, etc. Many of the dresses are made from vintage fabric and things like tablecloths and pillowcases...very creative! AND she offers free shipping, you can't beat that! :)
Bumble Bee Designs is another shop with items that have made it onto my wish list! If you are looking for that extra special baby shower gift then look no further. I pretty much want everything from BumbleBeeDesigns! Little flowers and bees, bunnies... ACK! I almost can't handle the cute overload! All of the clothing is handmade and hand-embroidered. All of the designs are her original designs. She even offers a few pieces that are geared towards boys, embellished with fish, trains, or bears. I love love love this shop and I have been coveting a few things for quite a while now! Maybe it's time I finally make a purchase :)
Too many hard-boiled eggs from Easter!
It looks yummy and has great reviews. My tummy is growling as I type this! Can't wait to try it out!
