(Sigh or relief)   Hooray, enfin, finalmente....Saturday's fashion show has come and gone and what a special night it was.   The days leading to Saturday, my stomach was in knots.   I kept telling Mark in my pitiful, poor me voice, “Boo, I think I'm getting a stomach flu.”   And he'd wisely answer, “Pumpkin, it's just nerves.”..

You know when you watch a fashion show on TV and at the end the designer comes out and he/she is dressed like a bum?   I think that's what I want to do.   I want to wear my husband's Shlitz t-shirt with my worn jeans that I haven’t washed since my second year of college because they're stretched out just right and design some fine ass clothes!...

Contest in now closed. Congratulations to Valerie Broussard for winning the turquoise earrings! Thanks to everyone who participated! When it comes to accessorizing outfits (and I don't mean a wet wipes holder and a pacifier clip) I tend to be on the more subtle side.   I'm not a big bangle bracelets or eye catching necklace kind of gal.   But what I am is an earrings kind of gal.   At the risk of sounding a little brazen, I was blessed with a long and slender neck...which coincidentally, I think, gives me the confidence to use earrings as that je-ne-sais-quoi piece to complete an outfit.   That's why when the kind people over at Scarlet Samples contacted me about doing a giveaway, I was more than happy to comply...

You did it!   Hey you!...yeah that's right...YOU!   You've voted me into the Circle of Mom's Top 25 Fashion & Beauty Moms!..

Growth is good.   Expansion and progress shows determination, hard work and passion.   That's why I like to see local businesses thrive.   Last week I had the pleasure of meeting up with Katie Frayard....
