My side of the story...

“What you perceive, your observations, feelings, interpretations, are all your truth. Your truth is important. Yet it is not The Truth.” -Linda Ellinor

I really don't know how to begin this post, I guess I'll start by saying "never write anything you don't want people to read" and if you do "expect people to defend themselves". Today I was surfing the web, visiting party planning sites and looking up party ideas when I stumbled upon a party site and a conversation struck my interest. Well, as I read on I came across a paragraph that literally shocked me, not only did I know the author of the conversation, but the person being slandered in her paragraph was me! I started this blog for so many reasons, but none of them were to start drama or to play games, so today I'm finally going to say what I've been feeling for over a year and finally put this whole situation to an end, at least on my behave. 

I love my life, I love my family and although many people may doubt that my life is as wonderful as I portray it on this blog, it is! I've worked hard for everything I have, I didn't wake up one morning and decide that being a good wife, a good mother, a good daughter, crafty or domestic was the "in thing to do". This is me, this is who I've always been and the people who matter most to me don't seem to mind!

After I started my blog, others followed and I was so excited to be part of this new blog circle; but the excitement wore off quickly when I started to feel like my life was being copied "word for word" and "post to post".; then I began getting annoyed when I realized that I was part of some weird "one-upping" war with a fellow blogger. Well, then the rumors started, the rude comments were more obvious, but once again I let bygones be, but coming across this conversation was just what I needed to finally let go; I no longer care to play games and I will definitely keep my distance from this person and her family. The funny thing is when I started writing this post I was livid, but now I just feel sorry for her.

What would you think?
and to all those who found my son's 1st birthday to be so boring, don't worry you won't be invited to his 2nd!

Etsy: Robots & Rockets

The 4 month countdown to JD’s Robots & Rockets birthday party is here and this is when I start to shop and get organized. I’ve already ordered and received most of the party favor items and now I’m moving on to all the unique things that only Etsy.com can provide. I’ve been a member of Etsy since 2008 and it is definitely my favorite site for party supplies and handmade goods. Here are a few of my favorite robot and rocket themed goodies from Etsy!

Yo Gabba Gabba Bath Squirters

Last week I ordered these super cute Yo Gabba Gabba bath squirt toys for JD and they finally came in the mail! I received a text message from hubby yesterday letting me know that I got a package from Amazon, I told him he could open it and sure enough the minute JD saw YGG he went crazy (according to hubby), he loved them. Well, when I got home last night I asked JD if he liked his YGG squirt toys (that mommy got him) and he said “UmHmmm”, oh and then proceeded to tell me his “Papa” got them for him; now I know, he who opens the box gets the credit!

Squeeze 'em! Fill 'em! Squirt 'em! Yo Gabba Gabba Bath Time Squirters! Includes all 5 characters.

A very big decision...

The hubby and I made a very big decision last year and now the time has come to follow through; we decided that this year JD will be attending Pre-School! This decision took a lot of thought and prayer because JD has never been watched by anyone who isn’t family or considered family; but we feel it’s really important for JD to have the opportunity to socialize with children his own age. JD is extremely social (unusually so for his age according to his doctor, hmmm) and loves playing with other children, he has become very interested in pretending to read books, he loves coloring and has recently even started pretend playing with his toys. We have a few interviews with potential schools this month and hopefully by February JD will be attending pre-school a couple of days (half days) a week!
