Sorry for being behind, I have been keeping myself busy with 2 orders of wedding invitations and an order of save-the-date cards. I have also been under the weather, with sick kids in the daycare, it finally hit me, I caught the bug. BOO! I am crossing my fingers to be much better by Friday, we have a very busy fun weekend ahead!

Glass Art Review!

 

Glass Art is one of a kind Etsy shops. Jennifer is creative and very talented!
Her hand painted glass art is beautiful and she is sure to have something to please everyone. Whether it be a gorgeous soap pump, a lotion pump, or some great personalized wine glasses, Jennifer can paint it! She makes cute sets too...take a look!

(for everyday use!) 

(for holidays and winter)

Look at the detail she has in her painting! Great bright colors too!

Here are some of the glasses she has painted...

   

  
Everyone needs a custom wine glass!!

  
Jennifer sent me an adorable snowman soap pump {ya'll know how I LOVE snowmen}

 These are two other things she included in the package...

 {perfect vase for those little dandelions the kids pick}

Take a peek at Glass Art for yourself! Jennifer would love to custom make something to fit your needs {or wants} :)

       

Sock Bandit!

   

We have a little problem in our daycare...we have a SOCK BANDIT and no infant remains 'socked'

 This is how it all begins...

Then the pulling starts!

If a slight tug doesn't succeed, try pulling harder

 she likes socks so much, she even pulls off her own

Then tries again...

 Well, I got mine off now what do I do with them?!

  

This little muffin never keeps her socks on?! Sh\e {loves} bare toes like her mama?! 

When you live in Minnesota....you need to keep socks or slippers on to stay warm.

{I love slippers and so do my kids}

One Question for ya'll!

  

 Who are you?!

I have e-mailed back and fourth with many of you, I have twittered with many of you, I have read many of your blogs....now I want to know {more} about you!

Where are you from?!

Here?! There?!

 How long have you been reading my blog?!

What is your favorite thing to read about on my blog?!

If you had $5000 cash sitting in front of you (right now) what would you do with it?!

I want to get to know you!

{If you are a blog stalker...come out of the wood work and let me know more about you}
