Filling My Shoes


I never imagined when I picked out my wedding shoes almost 10 years ago that I would be blessed with a daughter who loved to wear them around the house while playing dress up.

I am also sure my parents probably never envisioned a beautiful grandaughter one day prancing in this dress when taking me to pick it out for my 1st communion.

These are the moments where we come full circle...I wore this dress as a child, and these shoes as a young woman and felt like a princess on both of those momentous days and now I can watch with awe as my daughter does the same.

Formal Pictures





I have been slacking on getting the girls 1 yr and 4 yr pictures done. Between the holidays and illnesses it just hasn't fit in to our schedule. Last week I took them to JC Penney's and here's a few of proofs. I am surprised any of Gia turned out, she was very afraid the entire time. Ava as always was her supermodel self!

Cinderella's Ball



Ava and Tony attended the Annual Cinderella's Ball, Daddy/Daughter dance at our local park district. So sweet and so cute to see how beautiful she is and how excited she is to go on her big date with dad.

Good Stuff

In an entry sure to rival that of Oprah's Favorite Things, I thought I would give kudos to a few products that I have tried for the first time recently and loved!

I tried this Secret Deodorant, KuKu Coco Butter, this smells delicious, reminds me of vacations in Florida, that said it may be more of a summer scent. It works and works, I will be going back for more. I hope they keep this one in the line-up!







Next thing I tried and love is the Clorox Anywhere spray. I have been spraying and wiping this up all over the place. Clearly it is a mix of less than 1% bleach and "other ingredients" otherwise known as water, but I fell for it and it makes me feel that there are less germs around here!



Then in another category, laundry, I found 2 stain removers I am crazy about!
I am a laundry snob, I am particular about how my clothes look and how they are washed...

The first is Dreft Laundry Stain Remover spray, you can find this at babies r us in a large bottle or a small travel size, I have both. I spray this on the stain, scrub and then wash as directed. I have found this will even get out the paint from Ava's preschool, nothing else has worked. A mom at the school recommended it to me.





The next I received as a sample with something I had ordered in the mail. Its called BIZ and it saved me when I realized an item I had sold on EBAY had a stain!!! Stress!
It took it out completely! I will be buying this next chance I get.
You can find it anywhere but it was new to me.





That's all I have for you today, I will share when I find something else that really surprises me! To my blogging friends, let's see some of your "good stuff" on your blogs.
