How can you possibly be 5? It's too soon...
Ok, so my little cherub is going to be 5 years old on the 29th (as is his 'Gaga' - well, grandma won't be 5, but they share the same birthday) and I am not sure I should allow it. I mean, I am the Mom, after all. My sweet boy is sweeter than ever, but with a 'tude and killer aptitude for the computer, he's into 'group hugs' with the little ladies at school and I'm pretty sure he made a playdate with a gorgeous Mom we met at the park the other day...
Jack tells me I am beautiful almost everyday and makes sure to add that he loves me 'all the way to the sky, until it breaks to dark' He is obsessed with cars, legos, and loves his doggie stuffed animals Lucky, Lucky 2, and Lucky 3. He comes into my bed to cuddle every morning and to tell me about his dreams.
He adores and protects his baby sister, until he doesn't anymore and then he threatens to not be her brother anymore... When you apologize to him, he says "I forgive you" (or the soul crusher - "I don't forgive you, Mommy!") When I ask him to get something for me, if he is willing, he always says "Of course" as if nothing else would make him happier...
This child of mine, my sunshine, my negotiator, master stall-er. The kid makes me paint his toenails black so he can be a Rock Star! He asked me to cut his hair the other day and I hacked the crap out of it, and that boy still looks handsome. I have my hands full with the two of them, but I find so much joy in my children and quite frankly, I love how secure, stubborn and strong willed they both are. My mom laughs that I got mine back ten fold... and I always say, I wouldn't have it any other way. My kids are special little souls and I am so happy to get to be their mother.
Happy Birthday Jack-a-doodle, we love you so much! The world would not be

Cherry the pig is happy and content, baking - and eating - desserts every afternoon. (She is, after all, a pig.) Then one day, she hears a family of mice talking about her "incredible" apple cake. Her apple cake is pretty incredible, so Cherry enters the bake-off at the local Harvest Festival. The rest, as they say, is (sweet) history...
In this quirky tale about a tattered teddy's second chance, readers follow the travails of Dougal, rescued at the dump by a truck operator. Soon, a stuffed bee named Bumble joins the forlorn bear. Silly, tongue-in-cheek outings for the pair are documented in a photojournalist style. The juxtaposition of Dray's wry narrative with his quixotic and uniquely compelling snapshots proves engaging across the generations. A heartfelt message at tale's end regarding triumphing over adversity proves that this odd duckling of a story is truly a swan
"Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi is part biology textbook, part sociological treatise and all celebration of a very natural process. Both my daughters begged me to read the book over and over again. They marveled at the enormity of the elephant's poop and searched with the skill of a scientist for the tiny specks which represent bug poop. The text is simple and straightforward but not without humor. 'An elephant makes a big poop,' the book begins. 'A mouse makes a tiny poop. A one-hump camel makes a one-hump poop, And a two-hump camel makes a two-hump poop. Only kidding!' The colorful illustrations are eye-catching and deceptively detailed. The poop of each animal species is very distinctive in size, shape and color...A book which doesn't have any preachy overtones but merely explains where and how each living creature poops seems to work for my two-year-old. In fact, it's number one on the bathroom reading list at our house."- The Expositor

Celebration of Babies March of Dimes Luncheon
Wow, what an incredible honor it was to have been invited to the a participating boutique at the annual March of Dimes, Celebration of Babies! I was thrilled beyond belief when Melissa Joan Hart invited me personally! It was a no-brainer that The Silly Wagon would be there to participate in this charity event. It was so exciting for us to be a part of such a fabulous charity and to meet the adorable "ambassador" Getting to meet and chat with the celebrity mom's was simply way too much fun!
When we got there, we found we were situated directly in the middle of the room! The fact that I am not a person who knows the meaning of packing light was never more apparent as we had to keep asking for more tables... 6 long tables in all as well as 2 clothing racks and we truly did end up being the 'centerpiece' of the room! Amy Callaway from Bella Bows and her adorable sister-in-law Joy, joined my mother and I to cover the event and I can't say enough about how awesome it was to have the extra hands!! Everyone just loved TSW (although, I have a feeling that the Treat Bags of candy we handed out might have helped out there...) The ladies seemed to love the adorable Chalkmats from Dine and Doodles, the Sushi Washcloth sets by Jen Kalea, Piggy Story Art Folios, Dumpling Dynasty and of course, Bella Bows beanies and flowers! Not to mention Oopsy Daisy Baby pettiskirts, Girls Day Out apron skirts, Sparkle Shoppe hair bling, Pooki and one of our 'personal' favorites, Paperlili! Kellie Martin's adorable little girl Maggie HAD to have our darling French Corolle doll, Calin Raspberry! While the champagne flowed and the biggest jumbo shrimp I have ever seen were being devoured (mainly by us girls at The Silly Wagon!) people wandered the boutiques and kept coming back to our 'shop'! Once the luncheon was under way, the speaker Jenny Garth came wandering in, only to find to her dismay, that the boutiques were shutting down. I was so awed by how cute she looked, I completely forgot to ask her to snap a pic with me!! Next year, I hope!
In the meantime, I was busy being a social butterfly and grabbing all the celeb's for a quick snapshot! Can I just say how tiny they all were, except for gorgeous Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, who is a stunning woman!
I had to literally crouch down to have my picture taken with Melissa Joan Hart and Bradyn... I never would have guessed she was so tiny (and in fabulous stiletto red heels, even!) I looked like a total grease monkey... I have never looked so oily in my entire life! After seeing these picturs of myself with the lovely ladies of Hollywood, I ran right out and bought some matte-ifying gunk at The Body Shop (grab some, it works like a charm) Too bad I didn't realize it until too late... Debbie Martin, yup she's Kellie's mom, was incredible. A real pro, she had the entire event flowing smoothly and on time. I have to say I was mighty impressed. When I snuck away to take a look around, I stopped short at the line of 'razzi getting everyone's entrance! WHOA, thats the closest I have ever gotten (and probably ever will get) to a Red Carpet! If you look closely at this video you will NOT see me, off to the left right out of the camera's view while Melissa Joan Hart was being interviewed. LOL Plus if you look at the picture of Julie Bowen and I, you may notice we were chatting. About what you ask? Chasing toddlers! I loved Julie, and well, we may not be BFF's but it was fun talking to her casually as just two regular moms.
I got to talk to all kinds of people and I am so out of the loop, I didn't even KNOW half of them were actors and actresses! Sheesh... I gotta brush up on my celeb ABC's next time!
