Cheers to 2012

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called “Opportunity” and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.

Here's to a new year of opportunity and everything good! I have been partaking in a little wine tonight and it's made me all reminiscent! My goal is to make it to see the ball drop...something I've explained to my kids about 20 times tonight and they still don't get it....my explanation goes something like this..."In New York they have this place called Time Square...they erect this huge thing there with a ball on it that's covered in lights and crystals....it counts down the minutes til midnight and when it's midnight the ball drops and everyone sings and kisses and they throw confetti. (I think this is quite a good explanation)...Their response..."WHY?" I have no answer for this!!!! "Why?" Ummmmm... BECAUSE!

I rock as a Mom...I swear I do! :)

Anyway, I digress...Happy New Year my lovelies! I wish nothing but wonderful things for you!!! Tomorrow we can talk about resolutions. Tonight enjoy your wine, your champagne, your sweet tea or what have you!

Bad Toys...

I've been thinking about something...actually I think about it every year after Christmas...and in December when it's Peanut's Birthday and TwinkleToes' Birthday...I also think about it when my friend's kids have birthdays...BAD TOYS all parents know what I'm talking about. We've all experienced it...heck sometimes we've even bought them!as payback for the bad toy someone bought our kid So I am officially starting a list. Use this list as a reference for toys NOT to buy your kids or anyone else's unless you don't like someone and would like to torture them...then buy away. Feel free to add to my list as you see fit...and share this post so that everyone knows about the bad toy conspiracy!!! Below you will see pictures of toys I loathe...and perhaps reasons for the loathing...

The ad pitch is "Way cooler than earth sand, Moon Sand is the moldable sand that never dries out!"...PEOPLE IT IS SAND!!!! You know the only drawback of the beach? SAND It's gets in places it shouldn't!!! So does this!!!! Beware of the Moon Sand...unless you don't mind bringing the beach into your kitchen/dining room/bathroom/everydangwhere! 

Perhaps I should just say avoid all toys with the name Moon or Sand in them...these two are HORRIBLE as well!!!!!

Baby Alive!!! Every little girl needs at least a hundred baby dolls! I firmly believe this...HOWEVER, every little girl DOES NOT need a baby doll that pees/poos and eats! Inevitably you will run out of diapers after it's consumed some banana smelling substance.

Paperoni...Think a paper explosion in your dining room...or wherever this box is opened!


I'm sure as soon as I click publish I will think of 5,926 more toys! But here's a start.

TwinkleToes & Peanut

So I've started this new business...and I find myself thinking at least once every few days...ARE YOU CRAZY?...YOU SO ROCK!!! It's exciting...it's spontaneous...it's OUTSIDE OF MY ELEMENT!!!! But is it? I mean really...IS IT? I have done things a LOT little bit different. Plus, I love homeopathic/natural/homemade stuff and I LOVE anything beauty related...So I'm good. :) Anywho...take a looksee at my pages here and here...I'm open for criticisms...(be nice)...suggestions (be kind).
