Spring Boutique's here I come!


This was my 1st Spring Boutique that I participated in, it was at De Portolla Elementary School in Mission Veijo, CA.  It was extremely organized and turned out to be very successful for me.  But the hardest thing about going to these is not buying!  I made a deal with myself, I will not buy anything for my daughter or myself at these things because then I'll never really make money.  I think these boutiques are a hit or a miss and you never know if you'll be successful.  That's what a struggle with when these come up, whether or not I should participate.  Well, I was very happy with this one and will be returning next year!  I have about 10 more boutiques that I am signed up for and I am highly considering going to the ABC Kids Show in Las Vegas to be an Exhibitor, but with this comes $$$$$$ and a lot of it. I'm just not sure if I am ready but then again, when will I ever be ready?!!!! :)

What are Friends?

  People come into your life for a reason, a
season or a lifetime.  When you know which one it is, you will
know what to do for that  person.. 

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. 

They have come to assist you through a
difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, 

To aid you physically, emotionally or
spiritually. 

They may seem like a godsend and they are. 

They are there for the reason you need them
to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to
bring the relationship to an end. 

Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk
away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take
a stand. 

What we must realize is that our need has
been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. 

The prayer you sent up has been answered
and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has
come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or
make you laugh. 

They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a
season. 

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime
lessons, things you must build upon in order to have
a solid emotional foundation.   Your job is to accept the lesson, 

love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.  It is said that love is blind but
friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a
lifetime.

Happy Easter!



Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter!

I love handmade quilts!


Here is an Adorable shop I found on Etsy that makes handmade quilts for any occasion!  The designer has 30 years of experience and is willing to work with you on any color choices you want or design.  I wish I could have everyone she makes.

So why did I feature this designer? Because she is my Mom, and she is so talented, I just wanted to she her talent with the world.

You can find her shop at www.MaryMcNultyDesign.etsy.com

Seal Beach Playdate


I love when my friends and I all get together with our adorable Chubby babies and have a fun playdate.  Our last adventure was to Seal Beach, CA.  We had breakfast at a very cute coffee house and then strolled through town and ended up on the beach at a play ground.  All the babies were so excited to stretch their little legs, we had a blast.  I highly recommend a vacation their if you haven't already been.

Birthday Surprise!


I turned 30!! Wow, life flies when you are having a blast.  My husband had a surprise birthday party for me and all of my family and fabulous friends were there to Celebrate.  Casino night was the theme in the roaring 20's.  Everyone was dressed up, I felt like I walked onto a movie set.  They moved all the furniture out and rolled in all the gambling tables, it was fantastic!
