Down to Earth Kids- Philly

Chubby baby is going to be in Philly!!! We are celebrating because this is our first shop in this state, we are so excited to be growing and this shop sounds incredible!!!

So check it out, here is an article I found on the shop.

DOWN 2 EARTH KIDS

Best of Philly 2005 Kids' Boutique, 'Burbs

Comparisons to L.A.’s Kitson Boutique or the kids’ department at Barneys New York are well deserved. This eclectic, cool Lafayette Hill shop has it all, from designer clothing like Da-Nang cargo pants and tunic tops, Juicy sweatsuits and Terry dresses, to Charlie Rocket skateboard and surfer tees, to vintage photo albums with rhinestone embellishments, Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags, and plush animal stools for toddlers. The vintage, one-of-a-kind concert t-shirts (from the Grateful Dead to AC/DC) could bring out the rock star in any child.

I had a Moment!

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?"
–Marianne Williamson

This gave me chills reading this, had to share.

Some Much Needed Inspiration

I don't know what my problem is, but ever since I was little, I swore that if I ever had a little girl I would decorate her room with Mermaids. I kind of forgot too until I saw this pillow and had to have it. All the memories are coming back and I'm so excited to start my research for my new project, " Mackenzie's Mermaid Bedroom."

This pillow will be my Inspiration for the whole room, yahoo! You would think that my taste would have changed as I grew, apparently not. But 1st I have to get rid of the Toddler Bed and buy a Big Girl bed, I'm thinking a Full or maybe a trundle bed, I'm not sure, I'll have to decide. Then it's off to the fabric shop to pick all the new fabrics for the room, can't wait.

I'm pulling Bikini Onesies out of my Head!

Cheetah Bikini Onesie (0-3 months)

Oh Boy! Summer is here and Bikini Onesies are in High Demand! I just got an order for 48 Bikini's! WHAT!!!!! Usually the norm is like ........1! So I have bikini Onesies all over my house, my poor, poor husband! He's such a trooper and of course my daughter just keeps repeating, "oh pretty Mommy, oh pretty mommy, oh pretty mommy......"

Busy, Busy, Busy... got to go! :)

High End Head Board

Do you ever think t your self.....what can I do to make my bedroom look cozy? Or maybe just a little bit fancier or just Elegant? Well I have been, and have been shopping around for bed frames and head boards. I've checked out Z Gallery and Pottery Barn and I've discovered I have very expensive taste and I just can't get myself to pay $1,800.00 for a head board. So I decided to make my own, my husband and I cut it out, padded it and then hung it. We love it and it only cost us $85.00. It might not be as perfect as the ones in the shops but for us it's Perfect!!

Bears, Buddies and Toys!!

Step b

I have never heard of Bears, Buddies & Toys Children's Boutique and I received a Wholesale order from them, located in Huntington Beach.  I always like to stop by as many of the Boutique's I'm in just to see what they are all about and I love meeting the buyers and putting my face with Chubby Baby.  I just think it is good business etiquette. 

This boutique is a chain located in Huntington Beach, so I stopped in and could not believe how Wonderful this place was!  It was the most amazing place for kids imaginations, they host theme parties, special reading time with the characters dressed up in theme, tons of clothing and assecories, everything they carry in the shop is a perfect gift for any occasion.

I highly recommend this  shop for all!  You can check out there web site at www.bearsandbuddies.com  

Which Super Hero Are You?

While looking and acting like the sweet girl next door, you fight the bad guys with strength and skill. You have compassion for the people around you and just want to do what's right. You have a lot of charisma and class. Everyone wants to be your friend!

Lost Treasures

While I was pregnant with my daughter, I became a Fabric Junkie and could not stop collecting beautiful fabrics that I would come across.  Of course I didn't do anything with them, I would just put them in the bin of Things To Do One Day.  

Well I was going through my bin the other day and found a Baby Blanket I had started for my daughter and never finished.  So I decided to finish it! 

My new goal is to Start to finish all my Things To Do One Day, I have so many beautiful things I have bought and they are all sitting in plastic bins, just wasting away. I'm SO guilty of doing this all the time.

So here is  my 1st project that I can check off my Things to Do One day List!!! :)

New Designs Are Here!!!

My New view from my back Porch

I was putting away dinner and glanced out my back window to check on my daughter playing outside and instead just saw the sky and all the amazing colors it was showing.  I've never seen anything like it.  I went outside and pointed to the sky and my daughter said " oh pretty." It really took my breath away. ( photos never do justice)

Well I know as of today why the sky had so many pretty colors and clouds, there is a huge storm today.  I wake up to hearing a howling noise coming from my chimney in the front  room.  Then I open the back door to let my dog do her business, and to my shock we had no more patio furniture or baby toys in the back yard.  Everything blew into our neighbors yard! OMG!!!  I run inside and grab a coat, of course I'm still in my pajama's, but I don't care, it's starting to rain as I'm hoping my neighbors fence.  Oh yeah, there is a fence too, how in the hell did this happen?!

Of course what can make this experience even better...... the howling wind whipping my hair in my face and the pouring rain that started really coming down.  So I'm over in my neighbors yard tossing all of our things back over the fence and then dragging everything close to the house and closing things up.  The umbrella was really fun, not!  But as I was finishing up, I just started to laugh and couldn't stop.  I think I ever brought a tear to my eye!

So I went inside and took a hot shower and got all cozy in my sweats and made a hot cup of coffee, sat on the couch and cuddled with my daughter and watched cartoons, can it get any better?!

So note to self in the future, pretty sunset with amazing clouds= BIG Storm the next day and you better pick up or you'll be over in your neighbor's yard again in pajama's and Soaking Wet!!!
