Use Your Resources

Awhile ago I highlighted one of my very good friends Niya and her business Candy Cake Co. Since that post, Candy Cake Company has grown by leaps and bounds. Niya has been relentless in building her clientele and she is certainly beginning to reap the rewards of her hard work. Last week was epic for her business and she has some faaaaabulous things in the works. One of which required some professional photos of her treats…on very short notice and even shorter dollars.

Fret not. This circle of besties make it happen. I mentioned a few posts back that my dad sent me his old camera, so Niya, my other bestie Erika over at Blulabel Bungalow and I went to work…okay, I kind of stood around and ate cake pops but whose counting. We, make that Erika and her keen eye for detail and decor took the camera and got some really awesome shots. Once the work was done we played around and shot a few fun pics of Addison and us. We worked it out, and had fun at the same time. For real, it is absolutely necessary to fake it till you make it..sometimes.

Soooo Not Ready

Today, Lil Mama turned 8 months. Within the past few weeks she has truly made some incredible strides in her development. After what seemed like an eternity of drooling and fussiness she finally cut the cutest little “peg” on the bottom. She has become more verbal, her hair has grown long enough for me to put into ponytails and the biggest shocker of them all is she is already pulling up, and yesterday had the nerve to pull up AND let go.

An eight month old walker? I have a feeling she will go this month. We shall see, my son walked at 10 months, and he started pulling up only 2 weeks before he took his first steps. So looks like she has him beat. Guess I might need to make baby proofing a priority and from the looks of the picture below, I need to keep all clean laundry out of her reach, lest it hit the floor..*sigh*

How old was/were your child(ren) when they started walking?

ATLSnowpocalypse

Yeah, the title is probably a little extra considering  only 4-6 inches of snow fell over the Atlanta area on Sunday evening. However, being in a place that is ill equipped for this type of weather you would think the world was coming to an end. I went to the store and was lucky to get my hands on a loaf of bread. In true Me fashion, I went to the store yet again without a list, spent an hour in the store to get home and realize I had a plethora of snacks and juice and NO meat. Genious, I sure hope we can get out tomorrow or grilled cheese sandwhiches is on the menu for dinner.

We managed to keep cabin fever at bay today by taking a long afternoon nap, playing games and taking a trip outdoors. School is also out tomorrow so I’m not sure how long our track record will last, but I am optimistic! The ice is so bad that the predictions are it will be Thursday before the temperature reaches above freezing, so it looks like we have a few more days hanging out in the crib. One thing I don’t believe in is slipping and sliding. The Milf mobile is almost paid for, no mishaps needed whatsoever!

Here are a few pictures from our trip outside. Check Lil Mama’s face. I don’t think she was feeling it!
