New Photos Of My Little Model - Lily & Chris

I have a love for photography. If only I had a professional camera, I could take that love to the next level. Right now I am working with a Sony Cyber Shot. My favorite photo editing software to work with is Corel Paint Shop Pro. Corel is just like Adobe but, easier to use and has more features. Maybe when income tax day comes I will get a new camera. I cross my fingers and hope.

Stop Driving & Talking On Your Cell Phone!

You are walking to the grocery store, with you child in a stroller. Suddenly, out of know where a person who is talking on the cell phone almost hits you and your child. Your heart beats fast and you almost don't know what to do.

This is what happen to me the other day. I was walking and a man came less the an inch to hitting my stroller. I was thinking what if he did not have good breaks, would my children and I still be alive? In the state of Washington cell phone use while driving is illegal but, people still do it any way. The other day while walking near Kent Meridian High School I counted how many people where using cell phones. There was a whopping 23 people on cell phones. I was counting for about 5 minutes.

I know one thing for sure. When someone calls my cell phone and I am driving I will not answer it because, I do not want to put other peoples life in danger. I also know that when I am talking on the phone it is harder for my to focus one what I am doing.

Do more and more people have to die to relize how dangerous this is?

Tinkerbell Costume Made By Me!

I have been trying to find the perfect costume for my daughter. I checked Party City, Gymboree, Children's Place, & More. Suddenly a light bulb turned on! Whallaa! I can make my own costume for her.

The Tinkerbell costume was fairly easy to make and only cost me $26 at my local fabric store. I used 10 yards of tulle, elastic, and ribbon. The best thing was it took me only 1.5 hours to do. Now I am hunting for the perfect wings. I found Tinkerbell shoes at the Goodwill Outlet for less than $1.

Below is the picture. Please do let me know what you think. As you can see some of the tulle has glitter. My daughter picked out the glitter tulle.


Looking for a job in Washington

I have been looking for a job with little luck. Christmas is coming and money is tight enough. Today I have applied for over 20 different positions with hopes someone will contact me for an interview. Has this economy got so bad that I, can not find a single opening? Honestly, right now I am not picky, I just need at least an income of $1,250 a month. This would help a great deal.

I am just going to cross my fingers, pray to God, and hope I will have a job I like within the next two weeks. It really sucks when you have to sell your things just to get money for diapers.

Also I have been using Craig's List. If you know a job search site that you like in Washington let me know.

About me

I am a 21 year old mother of two children. I have a 6 month old son and a 2 year old daughter. My son is a big boy weighing in at about 25 pounds. He is already wearing 12-18 months clothing. It is so hard to keep up with his size changes. My daughter is rather petite and where her 2T clothing.

I am OCD when it comes to baby and toddler clothing. I like buying clothing for my children more than I do for myself. I love finding a good deal on Children's clothing. I will add deals I have found and great places to shop in Seattle and surrounding areas in my blog.

Some of things I enjoy are:
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Games - Darts & Pool
  • Listening to music
  • Attending events with my children
  • Shopping
