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.

Party Time!



We had an outing to our dear friend Carly's birthday today. They have a ride called the Bone Shaker. Ava loves it and today Gia took her first ride. SHE LOVED IT! I am glad both girls are not afraid, I have been waiting for a roller coaster partner for a long time since Tony won't go on them.

My happy girl!




There's that old familiar face...I think this antibiotic may be doing the trick. We are having many more smiles these days! Yippee!




Please Write!


I set up this mailbox on Ava's bedroom door. Saw this idea in this months Family Fun magazine. Anyway I have never seen a kid more excited in making or receiving greeting cards/mail...so if you have any time and would like to send her something I will make sure it makes it to her box!

My little Pony

Awww, I remember the first time Ava wore a pony tail she looked so grown up.
It's the same thing with Giada this morning. I may be trying to make a lot of of nothing, but it fit into the pony tail holder so I think it counts!!!!
