Deep breaths...


PHEW!!
I did it! I have officially re-entered the blogging world! I think I have learned my lesson to never procrastinate so long to blog for the mere fact that the guilt of not doing it nearly gave me a panic attack! However, moving gave me multiple panic attack's any way so it didn't really matter.
I also was eagerly anticipating the launch of my sister-in-law's new blog design business, "Embellished by Design" so I could be one of her guinea pigs and get a blog makeover and of course, she did an amazing job! So instead of completely overwhelming myself and trying to post the events of the past few months let's just highlight the good stuff.

*we finally are moved back and settled ( if you can call it that) in Draper...thus the absence of blogging.

*we are having one of these: ( another little girl)

'Goodbye chair!!

So Camryn decided she was done with her high chair today. We were going about our normal morning routine with Dora on the tube and some honey nut cheerios in the making, but when I went to put her in her chair she looked at me and said matter of factly ..."no, I want to sit on the couch...goodbye chair". With that I decided to clean it up and put it in the garage. Of course, I got teary eyed as I put it away because for some reason, even though she is two and a half, and larger than most three-year-olds, I still like to think she's just a baby. So I found some of my favorite "chair" pics as a farewell tribute. Oh yeah, after she went and plopped herself on the couch she asked for her cereal....don't push it kid!!

What? You don't have one?

Okay so I know that one post about the upcoming "Sex and the City" movie is enough, but my friend Michelle e-mailed me this picture today of Sarah Jessica Parker at the London premiere with one word ..."seriously?"
What is funny about it is that Michelle was obviously mocking Sarah's choice of head apparel. I had seen the photo earlier today on the news and I am a little embarrassed to admit that well... I kinda like it and I am sorry but compared to some of the wardrobe choices that were made for her character on the series... this was just "old hat"!
Besides, as I sit here at 10:00 p.m. in an old, stretched out 'shade' tee , I am just a little jealous that she actually has a reason to wear it!

Latest Camrynism

...she has been walking around the house today with her
pretend magic wand, hitting me with it saying...(in the cutest voice ever)
"BIBILY BOBILY BOO!!"

A true princess...


Everyone knows that being a princess takes a lot of work. I took this picture after we had already tucked her into her bed with her p.j's on. When I went into check on her about an hour later she was in full princess dress...plastic heels and all . She reminded us that being a princess is a 24 hour job!!

A"Big" relief!!

I have intentionally resisted posting about this particular upcoming event because, well quite frankly of what people (like my mom) would think of my fondness...no, absolute love of...ok, here it goes, I am just going to say it...can I even say this on a blog? ---"Sex and the City"

Okay, there it is... that wasn't so bad, of course it will be when I am laying in bed tonight regretting my decision to discuss this, but oh well! I truly loved this series and trust me I know how controversial and frankly raunchy it could be and I won't even attempt to explain that I liked it because of the incredible writing and the brilliance of each of the characters ...nope, it was just, to say the least, a GUILTY pleasure of mine. In fact, when the series ended, as sad as I was, I was also relieved to have the temptation gone. Well, it is back on May 30th on the big screen and I am not going to pretend that I won't go because I will... and I can't wait.

For those fellow SATC sinners, I mean viewers out there you may have heard some of the rumors that Mr. Big dies in the film. This news was very upsetting and I am sorry but seriously after all that Carrie had to go through to finally get this guy and they want to kill him off? Well, after a very long day today and a temper tantrum at the park (not by me, but Camryn) I was restored to a state of joy and peace to hear on the news (yes, CNN) that the director of the film came out today and set the record straight that Mr. Big will not die in the show.

I know for some it's small...it is not world peace or the end of poverty, but for this stay-at-home,tired,child restraining mom...it's a 'Big' thing!
