MAGIC

A while back, i got some really great little canvas monster patches from Fishcakes Designs http://fishcakes.net/ There are so many cute ones that i did not know what to choose, but i KNEW that the little beast NEEDED some tee-shirts with these awesome monster patches sewn on. The above photo is a perfect example...and yes, he DOES disobey, as a matter of fact, so this is the most perfect shirt in the world for mommy's little monster. I will be making LOTS more of these hilarious shirts for summer toddler-wear! LOL!

As if things could BE more wonderful this Valentine week, my most talented and amazing sister made this gorgeous necklace for me. I so wish the photos did it justice, in real life it is much pinker and sparkle-ier and shiny and perfect. It is my new favorite thing in the world adn it makes me feel pretty when i am wearing it...no easy feat!! it really *IS* MAGIC! She is really getting so good at jewelry-making and i am so lucky to get to own these fantastic pieces of wearable art! In a little while, i am taking the beast to his first session at the kid's gym. I am hoping that all the running and flipping and climbing and being in a space where he is ENCOURAGED to run amok will make him a little more bearable at home. We have reaslly been driving each other crazy lately and i am beginning to question my ability to homeschool him. How can i teach him to read when i can't even keep him from peeing into his toybox just to drive me crazy. This has been a most challenging time, these past few weeks, adn i am grouchy and exhausted and as much as i love and adore the little mosnster, i often feel that i can't handle this "job" so well. So cross your fingers that the gym will bring some peace to the house(wife)
