Squawk and Swap !!
Ladies, this one will be too fabulous to miss!! While getting settled in to our new home in Dallas, the Daughter and I have realized just how much extra "stuff" we have accumulated. In trying to decide the best course of action for our barely used treasures, we thought some of you may be...
Hi Suzanne,
I wish I could have come to your wonderful party. But I was watching my daughter dance her little heart out at her dance recital. As a mom, you'll agree, there are just some things we can not miss. :)
I appreciate all the time you put forth in preparing for the party. I can't wait to see all the pics.
Hugs, Joanna

I don't post much about my kids... but I thought this deserved a little "spotlight" in mom's blog. Last night, my daughter, was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. She's done an awesome job keeping up with school, competitive dance, social life, etc. Now, if I can just get...
Carola,
Thank you for helping me with the translation. I've updated my post. :) I noticed the word 'son' but thought it was too masculine. (probably because I'm thinking of the English translation). Anyhoo, thank you. Love your blog, by the way! hugs, Joanna
her closet
For as long as I can remember, I've secretly dreamt about owning my own little shop. A thifty boutique, if you will, with some cute, fun, and cheap finds. (and maybe a couple of vintage items as well). Of course, with the way things are today... owning that little shop, isn't so feasi...
