Sippin' in style!
So we're heading to a birthday party this weekend!These days, rather than good old adults-only birthday fun, a party means lots and lots of tiny tots running around. And lots of sippy cups. I know that I personally favor one particular brand, and as it turns out, that is also the favorite amongst the other moms in my group as well. So logic tells me that can only mean one thing. At the birthday party, there will be whole lot of matching cups going around. And I don't know about your neck of the woods, but there's a nasty germ going around here, and I certainly don't want my kids to get it {again}.

So thankfully, this great new monogrammed sippy cup has come along to save the day & with a whole lot of style too, I might add! Available at Events In Ink, a fabulous online shop for all things preppy & personalized, the monogrammed sippy cups come with a whole slew of options! Choose your fabric, font & thread color & then choose to have monogrammed or personalized with a name. What you'll end up with is an adorable insulated sippy cup {actually made with my "favorite" brand, as a plus} that won't get mistaken for someone else's!

Grab a few for your own kids or as a gift! Events In Ink also offers some great monogrammed water bottles & travel cups {for your morning coffee run}! Also, check out their stationery, announcements, invitations & more!Spend $75 & take $5 off! Just mention "5off75perbabyluxe" in the comments section!

Hawthorne's Show & My Husband

My show at The Hawthorne's was a lot of fun. I met so many great people and it was fun chatting with the other vendors all day as well. I am so bummed because I wanted to take a picture of my booth, but forgot my camera. My booth setup was my favorite setup of all the shows I have ever done. I guess you live and learn. For this show, I decided to bring many things that customers could actually purchase and take home that day with them. This was received very well. I had fun napkins saying things like " Just say no to the sign up sheet" and styrofoam cups saying "Team Vodka" and vibrant, cool coasters. I also had fun notepads on hand as well. I hope to do this show again next year and see all the great people I came in contact with.

On a more personal note, we had kind of a crazy week last week. My son scratched my husband's face about 4 weeks ago and it was a small scratch, but deep. It got infected and the next thing we knew, it had spread all down his face, neck and to his shoulder. He went to the doctor who sent him to an infectious disease doctor and he ended up having to be hooked up to an IV treatment everyday for a week. His face is healing nicely now. It was hard on him looking so bad and he was in a lot of pain. I have included a picture of his face for you all to check out...aren't I nice. I guess, I should include a picture of how cute he really is too....

Until next time,

Tea Party

My kids invited my husband and myself, with a handwritten invitation, to their tea party. My oldest daughter purchased a girly cookbook at her school bookfair and was so excited to put it to use. The three of them sat down together and made the invitation (wow, are they following in my footsteps:). Then they looked through the cookbook and picked out their menu. They handed me a list of what they needed at the grocery and we all made the recipes together on a Sunday followed by the family tea party. What fun times! We had chocolate cupcakes topped with strawberry frosting, followed by a topping of cotton candy...yes, you read that correctly. Wow, were they delicious. We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut out in the shape of a heart. We washed everything down with a yummy pink punch. Pictured above are the kids at the party, tea cups and all. These are family memories that will never be forgotten. Take the time today to plan something as a family....you won't regret it!

Until next time,

Coffee with friends

I always hated the taste of coffee, the smell of coffee, the concept of coffee. About a year ago, my husband and I were getting ready to meet some friends for dinner and I felt very tired. He said "let's stop for some coffee"...this is when my entire life changed:) I am now addicted to coffee, picky about my coffee and so into discussing it! Wow, what a difference. I look forward to waking up every morning and using my new coffee maker to grind my beans. It is such a treat. I really enjoy drinking my coffee in these new peronalized coffee mugs. You can check out all the fabric options by clicking on the following link.

Enjoy your coffee in style!

The most popular stampers!

These stampers have been on the Today Show, in most of "the" magazines and more...they truly are as great as everyone says. The stampers can be used for approx. 10000 stamps. After that, all you have to do is replace the ink. It is a great investment and so easy to use. They work well as return address stamps, "This book belongs to", "A gift from", "Baked by" and the list goes on. The first companies to start where PSA Essentials and Three Designing Women. The turnaround time for these companies are approx. 2-3 weeks. Now, Noteworthy Stampers has come out with the stampers with a 5 business day turnaround. These stampers make great gifts! Feel free to check out all these stampers on my website http://www.eventsininkonline.com/ You can click on Stampers and check all three companies out.

Stamp away!

Snow day?

Picture of the girls on a snow day earlier this year


The weather outside is frightful...

Here at our house it is snowing hard. Will we have school tomorrow?

As a child, I always LOVED the possibility of snow day. Staying home in my pj's and doing whatever I wanted. As a parent of 3 small children, snow days became LONG days of the kids being home. Now that the kids are getting older, I find myself praying for a snow day right along with them:) The thought of not having to rush off to our separate things in the morning, sounds great! Relaxing together in our pj's, having a fun breakfast, watching a movie, making some popcorn...the list goes on. As the snow falls tonight...I will be praying for a snow day.

Dress like Suri Cruise...

Shouldn't all children be treated equally? I think so! I saw Suri Cruise in US Weekly a few months back and she was in this adorable dress. It is made by a company I carry on my website http://www.eventsininkonline.com/ and I just had to order one to show to my local customers. My new little cousin Jayden would look adorable in it. I thought to myself....why should Suri Cruise have anything more than little Jayden! Pictured in the dress is Jayden..isn't she so cute! Now the children are equal:)

Until next time!
