5. I used to suffer from anorexia which is partially what led me to become a Registered Dietitian.

High School Musical on Ice

So how cute are they? One of my dear friends and I took our daughters to see HSM on Ice yesterday and we all had so much fun! We took a train ride over to avoid traffic and parking and it ended up being a fun adventure for the kids.

I have 2 girls and my oldest is the one on the far left and my youngest is the little brunette on the far right. I'm half Japanese and half Irish so I'm guessing that is where Skyler gets her blonde hair and blue eyes. Little Sydney has all the Asian traits except for the slanted eyes! LOL

Back to our day...we decided to get the girls all of their HSM goodies prior to the event and I'm so glad we did. It's just amazing what kind of prices those places charge for things. $35 for a kid sized t-shirt! We got ours at Kohls for like $8! The day before we were running around like mad women trying to find anything HSM to fill our HSM totes! We wanted the girls to have something to do on the train ride and their big present was the new Gabriella and Sharpay barbies with the microphone. It's so sweet. The microphone plays the music so the girls can sing the songs, but when they hold the microphone to the dolls mouth, the doll will start singing the words wherever the music is at in the song. Gabriella sings her break-up song from HSM 2 and Sharpay sings "Fabulous".

That place was filled with screaming girls. Our girls were holding up posters and waving glow sticks like they were at a real rock concert. We were so tickled and it was at that moment I realized how much fun it was to have little girls to do all these girly things with. Check back with me 10 years from now and I'm sure I will have a different opinion! LOL

Thanks for letting me share!

SPRING BREAK!

We are officially on Spring Break this week. When I think of Spring Break, I thik of the beach. Maybe it's because I always went to the beach during my Spring Breaks in college. It's only Monday and I'm trying to figure out our plans for the entire week. The weather is cloudy/rainy today and tomorrow so it looks like indoor plans. But hopefully we can venture out and do some more exciting things outdoors as the week progresses. I'm hoping the weather will warm up enough so I can turn the heater on the pool and let the girls swim.

The girls and I went to a movie this morning, then out to lunch and finished our afternoon getting our nails done. The girls had fun and just love getting their nails done!

So what are your big plans for Spring Break? Do you typically take time off work and travel? This is the first year for me to have a child in school and it has taken some adjustment for me to get used to following a schedule of sorts. We used to just take off when we wanted and now we can't do that with a child in school. I don't like being on "vacation" when everyone else is. Frankly because I don't like crowds.

If you are on Spring Break now, I hope you and your family have a wonderful "break" and enjoy some family bonding!

ON THE HUNT!

We are on Spring Break next week so the preschool and school's are having their Easter parties this week. Toot Toot's preschool party was this morning. Those kids were running around like crazy chickens trying to find those eggs! LOL I still managed to get some decent pictures of toot toot in action! It's a perfect day with the sun shining and the temperature in the 60's.

Now I've got to get my oldest daughter an outfit made for her party. She feels a bit left out since Sydney is my model, she has a closet full of mommy's creations and I just don't have time to make my oldest boutique clothes. So she feels vere special when I have the chance to make something for her. Geez, now I'm tearing up!

I'm off to get the kiddos from school and to enjoy the rest of this beautiful weather!

NEW LISTINGS UP!

I've just listed this fab and funky set! The fabric is so 70's to me! I was so excited to finally find the one spot inside my house that I could take a decent indoor picture and then the time changed! LOL Now I would have to take the pictures an hour later in the morning and we are never home at that time! Wahh!

The weather is always fluctuating here in Texas. One day it's in the 80's and literally the next day it's in the 30's and 40's! That's why you might see some pictures taken outside by the palm trees and others in the house. I just wish I could master the art of photography along with all the photo editing software that everyone uses. I mean who has the time? If I'm not sewing, I'm sitting here on this 'puter checking emails, listing items, trying to sort out html for this and that, etc. LOL

Do you notice how easy it is to sit down in front of the 'puter for just a second to check on something...yeah right. You then look up and an hour has past! Yikes! It's a wonder I get anything done! LOL Let me see if I can post a link to my current listings here.

OK dinner has been done and is now getting cold! I'm getting off this computer to feed my starving kids! LOL

MY FIRST POST!!

I'm so new to this whole blogging thing, so please be patient as I try to muddle through my first official post! For those of you who don't know anything about me, my name is gina and I'm a SAHM to two wonderful girls. I design and sew custom boutique clothes for little girls and I absolutely LOVE what I do!

My life is so busy that I have been having a very tough time trying to balance raising young children and sewing! LOL My oldest is in Kindergarden and I just didn't realize how busy I would be with her school and activities. That combined with trying to be a good wife, mother and friend has been a bit challenging!

So that has left me questioning how I can continue to do what I enjoy doing and still be a good parent and wife? I've asked other designers how they do it and it seems many of us feel the same way and have yet to get it all figured out! I know I would miss this whole custom boutique world if I left completely so right now I'm just confused!

It's getting late and I've got orders to do, so I guess I better end my first official and might I say depressing post! LOL I promise my next one will be better! Thanks for stopping by!
