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!!!

Holidays Weekends Rock!




Oh how I love long weekends! We really enjoyed it, having our family and friends up for a weekend of fun and relaxation.  We had a lot of BBQ'ing going on, boating, fishing and catching some sun!  We even saw a Pirate ship and fed some ducks on the lake. 

Birthday Celebration At Disneyland


We took our little Chubby Baby to Disneyland and had a great time.  This was the 1st time she walked around on her own and wasn't pushed in the stroller the whole time.  To see her face when she saw the parade  was priceless.  She seemed so grown up bc she interacted so much and is so verbal know, we really had a great time.

Of course I wanted to make her something special to wear for her Birthday celebration, so I made her a little apron that she wore over a black tutu, then we added Minnie Mouse ears and BAM- she was ready to go!

Here is a shot of her walking down Main Street

Which character are you from Greese?


"A rebel at heart, you are the leader of the Pink Ladies, Rizzo. You are outgoing, sarcastic, tough, and fit right in with the guys. You have unconventional good looks and will always speak your mind. Sometimes you find yourself in trouble, but always find a way to come out on top.."

This is so me, love it, LOL!!!

It's Official!


Today it is Official for Chubby Baby......... I got my Trademark, on Chubby Baby! I've been wanting to do this since I started my business but I was not 100% sure if my company would be successful, if I'd want to be doing this in a year from know, etc!

As of today I love my business, all my fabrics, the sewing studio I'm in the middle of organizing. I figured I better get this done before someone else swoops down and takes my name.  Since I'm starting to finally get wholesale orders for my Infant car seat covers, I know feel like I'm official (if that makes sense).  See I started my whole business around my Infant car seat design but they weren't ready for retail bc it's not only the product but it's the packaging, the labeling, marketing, I can go on and on! It's always more, more, more!

So here is My Trademark, I'm going to celebrate!
