At the end of January, we celebrated Maddie’s 5th birthday party. Every year we throw a birthday bash for her, and every year it turns more and more into a huge glorious production. This year, I decided to bring in entertainment {for my sanity, although, it was still totally crazy here!!}. I met up with networking friend, Jenny Waters, owner of the Social Butterfly and co-owner of the Cinderella Company to discuss my intentions and plan of action for Maddie’s party. We mutually decided on Cinderella for storytelling, singing, magic and face painting….and a coronation ceremony for Princess Maddie. WOW!!!! When Cinderella came to door, Maddie was more than surprised….she was totally enchanted!!!! With 17 knights, princess maidens and little blossoms running wild with sword fights, makeovers, play doh, food, and candy…Cinderella stole the show and bestowed a whole bit of her magic upon them….
Thank you Cinderella…..as Maddie said on her delightful day, “This is the BEST Party EVER!!!”.













A sneak peek of one of my many album templates. This album will be the creation of Maddie’s first year of dance school. She was so excited just to wear her little outfit, and her “new” tap shoes!!!! Just too cute… Today she learned stance… quite funny considering that at times she looked like a linebacker getting ready to do some Tae Bo. But she does has the flexibility…so I’m so Ms. Malvina will mold her into a elegant princess..

OK, so I’m going to add a few more….love this album!!!! Thanks to Leah Profancik!!!



As another side project, I’m currently renovating all the old photos that I have of my family to build a heritage album. In addition to all the old photos that I have, my dad had a box of 35mm slides (500-1000) ready to be scanned. Another undertaking which I’m hoping to begin next week. In the meantime, here are more of grandma’s photos that I had. I miss you grandma!!






As summertime comes to a close, we await sending our little ones (and big ones) back to school. We’ve got first year of college, first day of pre-school, and a daily speech therapy program going on our household. My hubbie’s new job, and the re-organization of my biz. Busy, busy, busy. I hope you’ve all enjoyed your summer. Stay tuned for the holiday specials that will begin in September. In the meantime, enjoy our backyard brawl with the broken water hose.
cheers!!
