Thanksgiving
I've abandoned my photo-of-the-Day quest. Life just got too crazy and now I'm 2 months behind, so I'm allowing myself to let it go. I'll backtrack a little since I didn't post in November
at all. We went up to the country house in north Georgia for
Thanksgiving. I just needed a break after a non-stop schedule and all
the events I ran. It was a great trip and it really helped me regain
some energy and focus before coming home to the Christmas selling and
craft show season. The weekend after Thanksgiving, instead of shopping,
we drove over to Greenville and spent a few days with some good friends. We took the kids to the zoo and then got a sitter for the evening. We had an extraordinary dinner at American Grocery, a farm-to-table style restaurant, and then went and saw Million Dollar Quartet- The Musical. Here's some photos:

Julian invented a game with the random stuff he found in the shed.

He kept changing the rules so much of it was just running around.

The First Touch Mission Fashion Show Exclusive
September 24th~ One of the best parts of having my own business is being able to support good causes. I donate every year to the Bay AreaPregnancy Center and Links of Hope. I get approached by other charities as well and I always pick a few to donate product to.
This Saturday this set will be in an auction benefiting The First Touch Mission & Hope House. My sister-in-law works with this group and asked if I'd be part of their fundraiser. It's actually going to be a fashion show accompanied by the auction.
The First Touch Mission helps women transitioning from prison to freedom improve their chances of success and greatly reduce their chances of returning. The Hope House provides alternative placement for women being released from the Florida Prison System. First Touch is committed to helping women break old patterns and setting them on a path to becoming productive contributors of society. What a great, and desperately needed, program!

Wicked
from Sunday, April 15, 2012~

I finally saw WICKED this weekend!!!!!!! I've wanted to see it for years and it never worked out. Last month a friend asked me if I wanted to drive down to Fort Myers to see it. So this past Sunday we went 2 1/2 hours early and put our names in the lottery for a pair $25 tickets. They're usually $90, so that's a good discount. They only pick 10 names and a lot more than 10 people turned out for the drawing. My name was chosen 3rd. My friend's name was chosen second to last so we had an extra pair that we gave to a couple that was standing next to us. They were so excited they asked to take us out for coffee. They were really interesting people so we quickly killed the time between the lottery and the show. Our seats were in the orchestra pit- 3 rows from the stage. The pacing, the music, the special effects, the characters... it was an amazing show!
Musical Theater
Friday, April 13th~
Juju's Easter egg is hatching a pretty awesome turtle. Going hard all day...but got to see our cute newborn buddy, Micah, and ended the evening laughing with friends so it's all good. Just a couple more days until we see Wicked! Now I just have to figure out how to get to Newsies. I so hope that show ends up going on tour.
