Planning for the Tooth Fairy

Hi everyone!  It’s Dana here 🙂  Have you all recovered from the exciting and fun DSD activities?  I think it’s going to take me a while to get my hard drive recovered – it’s overflowing at the moment 🙂 As many of you know – I have two daughters and my oldest has just recently […]

Vulnerable

  Hi Sweet Shoppers! Lex here, and in the spirit of keeping things real, I wanted to write about what this week has been for me. Some time ago I had felt a large mass on my left breast. It was frighteningly large, and my OB-GYNE, after instructing me to get a breast ultrasound, asked […]

Remembering September 11, 2001

Hello Sweet Shoppe dwellers. Yari here today to bring you a special blog post honoring September 11, 2001 and all that happened on that day. I am not going to lie, this was rather difficult for me to do. Tears filled my eyes and my heart was taken away in emotion several times as I […]

Walking For A Good Cause

Hey Sweet Shoppers! Today I want to tell you a little bit about something that is near and dear to my heart. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow along various types of nerves. It can also affect other tissues such as bones and skin. Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow anywhere on […]

What a Difference a Year Makes

One year ago today, I was sitting in a hospital room waiting to go home with my baby after giving birth two days earlier. And, then the day took a turn for the worse. I had delivered four weeks early because I had developed severe preeclampsia. And, my blood pressure wasn’t returning to safe levels. […]

Our Summer

Hi There Sweet Shoppers! The month of August is here and has seemed to have just swept in so quickly, at least for me. As I see everyone around us getting their kids ready for school, I realize that will be us next year. I am in no rush though! It is a year away […]

8.9-So Summer is almost over what a mixed blessing!

So, here I sit-one week and one day away from the end of my Summer vacation-I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be happy or sad-because my emotions run both sides at any given moment. I have had an unusually long Summer-I was out an entire 10 days before Landen was out of school so […]

A Little Getaway

Hello friends!! Happy Tuesday!! To be honest with you, I am having a really hard time getting back into the swing of things this week!! This past weekend, my husband and I were lucky enough to have a couple of days away. We have been wanting to go to a Sporting Kansas City game all […]

Knights & Dragons Birthday Party

My son is a huge fan of knights. He has been completely enthralled with them ever since we took him to the Renaissance Festival that came to town a few years ago. I was beyond thrilled when Misty Cato released a new prince and princess kit back in June. Especially since I was in the […]

Summer Staycation

Hey Sweeties!! Meg here with today’s summertime staycation ideas post. If you are anything like me then you really enjoy a great vacation. I love to plan plan plan vacations to a T although I do leave a little free time to have a few spontaneous moments! This summer, since we took a long vacation […]

My Pretty Ballerinas

Hi everyone!  It’s Dana and I thought I would spend a few seconds bragging about my girlies today 🙂  I was trying to think of something else to write about – but after several days of trying to come up with a good idea, I realized that all my time lately has been spent doing […]

Graduation woes

Hello my digital friends, Mary here bringing you today’s bliss. I have two graduates this year well 3 really. I am a little disappointed with the schools here in CT or at least where I live. When I lived in NJ I remember all of my girls having a Pre-K, Kindergarten and 4th grade graduation. […]
