oops! I almost forgot...


It should be a crime to be a Grandmother of 7, and look this awesome!




Happy Mother's Day to my favorite (and only) mom :)

You mean the world to me, even if you never let me cut my hair when I was a kid!

And yes, that is a neon pink, glittered cast on Parker. It was an accident that involved a chair and an itch on the posterior...don't ask.

Remember this girl?


I have a mom who forbid me to cut off my Marsha Brady hair my whole childhood. I mean, bangs were the compromise. Hello, I grew up in the late 70's, early 80's...mom, did you ever hear of Farrah? So my daughter has been begging me for a few years (and yes, she is only 5) to cut her hair short like a few of her darling friend have (Avery and Erica, you know I am talking about you gals). I kept using excuse after excuse, because frankly, it was what my mom did when I wanted feathered hair. "wait until after your recital" "you won't be able to put it in a pony tail" and my favorite "you will wish you hadn't". Well, I caved. I ate my words, I broke the mother/daughter hair struggles cycle. Fine. Ok, I really love it. I admit. So does Grandma (aka my Mom). We will see if she wants to keep up with the blow-drying and haircuts every six weeks. I actually hope so.
I just love her.


Yeah, I know I said that I would be back sooner...




































Holy cow! Life gets in the way of plans some days. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say, poop happens.
The Alice in Wonderland Party for Paris was a ball. Parker really enjoyed the face painting and the croquet and the hat decorating...everything was darling and there were even some Billie Beans wearing gals there! (imagine that!)
The host and hostess (aka, the Hendersons) are in the Tweedle Dee and Dum shirts. You all throw a great party!
