Hidden Mickey

I finally finished this pendant, just in time for our trip to Disney next week. I already showed you the great Minnie items my girls are bringing during the trip. Well, this is what I plan on sportin' around my neck. Just 7 days to go!

I plan on playing my own game of "Find the Hidden Mickeys" with my girls on the plane. How many Mickey's can you see?

Look What I Found

I've have been sitting here all day racking my brain, wondering what to write about today.

So I decided to go shopping! That always gets me inspired. Well I didn't have to go very far to find this TOTALLY AMAZING shop on Etsy. It's called Details. What a perfect name! This shop definately is it's tag line . . . It's all in the Details!

This is just one of the most adorable personalized hair clips I have ever seen in a very long time! I am getting one of these for each of my girls. Love it!

Go check out the Details Shop now. It doesn't just stop with the hair clips.

Sassy Defined

I just looked up the definition of SASSY.

sas·sy
adj. sas·si·er, sas·si·est
1. Rude and disrespectful; impudent.
2. Lively and spirited; jaunty.
3. Stylish; chic: a sassy little hat.

I had no idea that rude and disrepectful was the number one definition of Sassy. Can you believe it? I am almost embarrassed now to have used Sassy to described my jewelry. I am just going to forget that I ever saw that definition (that's why it's in grey) and go with #2 & #3.

Lively, Spirited, Jaunty, Stylish and Chic.

Yep, that's much better!

When you have a moment, please watch the video below and pass it along to your friends and family.

It is a great, but sad video. They are aiming for 10,000 hits, think we can top it?

Ashland Nature Center: A Field TRIP

I went on a field trip today with my daughter's first grade class to The Ashland Nature Center in Delaware. The day started off great, but TRIP is definately the operative word for this Field Trip, but more about that later. We learned a lot about amphibians and even saw some real life animals up close, like this Australian Tree Frog.

Then, we went off into the woods to search for salamanders. Of course, the kids were WAY too loud and moved WAY too fast, so we didn't find any. But, we were excited to move on to the "marsh" to see what we could find there.

We had much better luck here finding tadpoles and frogs and even a newt. The kids were excited. Almost a little to excited because, that's when I had to single-handedly (literally, because I had my camera in the other hand) rescue a boy out of the muddy marsh! This is where the word TRIP comes into play. Now I am not positive that he tripped. In fact, I am not sure how he would up face first in the mud, but that's where I found him. Funny how fast these things can happen. He was right next to me on the dock one second and then SPLAT . . . the next.

I felt so bad for him. But I also felt like a super hero until the teacher came by with a big bag of wipes and got him all cleaned up. In the end, it was the little boy himself that would up looking like the super hero, running around in the teacher's maroon coat flapping behind him like a cape.
