Happy Mother's Day

A Newborn's Conversation with God

A friend sent this to me for my first Mother's day It may bring you to tears but it is so sweet! Happy Mother's Day to all of you Mothers and soon to be Mothers!

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.."

God said, "You will simply call her, Mom."

Summer Scents

I love all of Marc Jacobs splash fragrances.


They all are so light and fresh. This new summer collection is inspired by patisserie shop. I can't wait to smell them all.

Cleaning with a pretty necklace

On one of my many trips to Tar-Jay I found the cutest necklace. I could not wait to wear it even around the house with a white tee shirt and jeans....So that is exactly what I did. It sure did make me feel good while I was dusting and cleaning my floors. When I walked by the mirror I had forgotten I was wearing it and put a smile on my face.

The bonus was it was on clearance. I think it will be a great necklace for the upcoming summer.

calling all mommy's

HELP!!!
I need advice from mom's who have had a baby that doesn't want to sleep. My little one was a great sleeper. Would go 4-5 hours at night. Then a switched flipped and will only sleep in my arms or if I am laying down next to him. When I place him in his crib eyes open wide followed by giggles (which are so sweet and make me laugh). We are not getting enough sleep at the SS house.

The past few nights he wakes up only a hour after he ate. From there it goes downhill. Then he ends up in bed with us. I know I know I said I wasn't going to be that mom who let's her baby sleep in bed. But otherwise I can't get any sleep.

So what have you done in the past that has made your little one sleep? Is this a phase or did I create this by loving to hold and cuddle with my baby.
