I am getting close to opening up my etsy store. I already have two crib quilts awaiting the arrival of the tags I bought here. I also have two of my swarowski crystal breastfeeding reminder bracelets to put up. The above fabric is going to give me two aprons, a crib quilt and four bibs. I so enjoy sitting at the machine and creating these one of a kind pieces and can’t wait to open up.
Okay you can, but I’m just going to take cover. We started out the day at University of Tampa’s Alumni Brunch. My cousin Mariah graduated from the University and now teaches there. We headed to the Gasparilla parade but with a sleeping boy in the stroller and rain drops starting to fall, Timpano’s seemed like a much better plan. We spent the afternoon enjoying eachother’s company and some great food. They had the most delicious muscles and some lovely pinot noir to go with it. Below is Jason lounging back, enjoying a chocolate covered cheesecake lollipop. We had a great day, and probably would have preferred this to a sunny crowd down by the festivities.

At one time school safety was a minor focus for schools. Unfortunately, weapons are an issue on high school and even middle school campuses. The National Education Association provides the following statistics:
Every school day:
Random searches can be thought to be an infringement on the student’s civil liberties. If implemented, it would be essential to ensure that the searches are random and fair. I also realize that the searches may feel somewhat like a circus and be disruptive to the learning environment, but if it were for the safety of the students I would support an unobtrusive effort.
What are your thoughts?
What are your thoughts about being randomly searched at the airport without cause?
Earlier this week, Jason fell off of an exhibit at the Museum and landed on his chin. He was a trooper while we restrained him and stuck him more to fix it up. He did ask through his tears if he could go home, after he told me he was stuck. I had hoped that this would teach him that he wasn’t exactly invincible and to be just slightly less careless in his attempts to climb the walls. I’m afraid that’s not the case.
I received this image from a forward yesterday and couldn’t google my way towards it origins, but love it. I am certain that Jason would attempt this. He is not officially skateboarding, but has been practicing on his cousin Jake’s since May. I know that Jake will have him up and running in no time. So for now, thankful for the flat land in Florida and enjoying where our adventures take us…just not to the ER.

Oh, I know some of you are reading this and going “no my husband is the best in the world“ but, I’m fairly certain mine is. I have one of the most unselfish, considerate and loving husbands there could ever be and it makes me smile and thank my lucky stars every day for him.
Brian turned 30 today and we’ve been celebrating all weekend, I’m going to try and celebrate all year long with him for all of the things we have to be thankful for. Jason and I picked up cake and balloons on Friday and had a friend watch Jason so we could go out for some drinks. Saturday we spent the day at the zoo with our niece followed by wings beer and football (tis the season). Today we hung out around the house and had Brian’s parents over for Outback (Thanks Mom and Dad). Wednesday were planning a date to Ruth Chris Steakhouse and in a few weeks we’ll be headed to Disney. Happy Birthday Brian, I Love You.
I have a $10 off a purchase of $30 or more at Build a Bear coupon(exp.2/14) and a 20% entire purchase coupon at Gymboree(exp.2/28) that will be mailed out to the first Momma to ask for them. These are two of my favorite places to shop, (which is why they are trying to get me back in the store) but its not in the cards this month. Happy Shopping!
When I first thought of blogging, I said my first entry would be about how great it felt to floss. As a child, we did our regular check ups in addition to our monthly visits once we got braces. Each time we would be sent home with floss, and upon each return visit, as my gums would bleed, they would suggest I start flossing. It wasn’t until I was an adult at college that I picked up the floss picks and fell in love with clean teeth. It was about that time that I stopped buying cheap toothbrushes and invested in the $7 or $8 toothbrush. I now floss daily and on a good day twice a day, and am still surprised at the smelly grossness that comes out between my teeth. Combining mouth rinse in my daily routine, my mouth feels fresh longer through out the day.
For some time, Jason has been sucking on his toothbrush. In the past two weeks or so I have had him brushing once a day. It wasn’t until I had him brush mine that the brushing of his own became more efficient. I still need to go behind him and get the hard to reach places, and he cries while I do. As soon as we get past they crying we will go to twice a day…maybe sooner.
