My oldest little girl, Cedi is going to be turning three at the end of the month and I just love to dress her up!  I have to be honest, I have a hard time shopping at the ‘normal’ stores at this point…I’ve been spoiled by etsy.  This is a picture of her in one […]

I have stopped home for a shower and lunch (yes, I was at the gym this morning, pats myself on the back).  I am heading into Madison to run a few errands before my hair appointment and want to make sure I’m healthily full before I get there…all I can think about is Qdoba nacho’s…so […]
