appreciation is key in child rearing

​No parent is perfect. But, a kid who never "wants" never knows the value of a reward. They never know the concept of respect, responsibility and appreciation

Sweet little feet

My sweet girl is growing so fast! She had a photo shoot this weekend. This picture just touches my heart. She had so much fun running around barefoot BUT when it came down to it.... she thought that her dirty feet were, "ewww, nasty". The way she says it is priceless and I can not get enough of it. I used Picasa to edit this photo. It is black and white with a focal point. Also, my sweet girl LOVES to show affection with her feet (like her mom!). She will rub her feet all over you just to show you she is there and that she cares. I do the same thing! She is my little mini when it comes to personality and habits! She does have some of her daddy's traits too though! I just love little feet!!

I have been so busy!

I am working on creating my daughters 2nd Birthday party, working and going to school! Please be patient! I will add pictures of my progress!  My goal this year is to make everything that I possibly can!

 I have made her purple and white tutu with a yellow accent bow.  I am working on creating adorable cake pops for party favors.  Her party is going to be in plum and mustard (fancy for yellow and purple!)! I researching how to make her a pinata.  I plan on making the cupcakes, toppers, and creating as many decorations as possible!
