Tiny Belles Takes the Baby Fair!

Last weekend, Janel and I took our little shop, Tiny Belles Boutique, to the 2010 Baby Fair here in Spokane! And what a success it was! Not only did we sell quite a few of our newborn tutu sets and boutique hair bows, but we debuted our new line of hand stamped necklaces!

We hope to do it again this fall at a few local craft fairs! And please visit the shop to see all our new improvements!!

Operation: Christmas Child!



The first thing you read when you're reading the "who we are" page on the Samaritans Purse website is "Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God." Bob Pierce, the founder of the Samaritans Purse, wrote this in his Bible after seeing just a small part of the suffering that effects children in the poverty stricken portions of the world. Since 1970, Samaritans Purse has helped people the world over who have been stricken by hardship, poverty, hurricanes, war, famine. And I have cant help but want to lend a hand.

Every child, not just "lucky" or privileged children, deserve a merry Christmas.

Operation Christmas Child is a world wide collection of shoe boxes, filled with Christmas gifts for these children. Some include toiletries, toys, school supplies...things we have all grown to take for granted each Christmas.

This week, November 16-23, is National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child. And, for this next week, for every item purchased in the Tiny Belles Boutique, we will donate an item to Operation Christmas Child. My hope is to send out lots of full boxes for at the end of this week. Help us reach this goal will you?

I will be adding new items every day this week, hosting give aways, and reminding you all via our Twitter and Facebook pages of these opportunities!

Please, help us give children all throughout the world a happy, healthy Christmas!!

"Go, and do likewise..." Luke 10:37

Blog Features on our Store!!

So this week, I was approached by a few blogs to let them review "Tiny Belles" and offer give aways on their sites! We are also advertising on a few different blogs...check us out!!

It's....quiet...er....

Dont get me wrong. Ashlynn is my world. I love that little girl and all her sass more than anything in this world. But, man, on days where she spends a few nights at my parents house...the quiet is...well, its heavenly.

I dont know if other mommies can relate, but Ash has hit the age of "no off button." She is CONSTANTLY asking questions, telling me jokes, singing songs, counting things...all of which are things Im grateful she can do. But I find my rope shortening, thread by thread, especially after a week of Piper being in the woods.

So, I happily drop her off with Cama and Bapa for a few days, and let them enjoy her banter. And I play with Gracie (without feeling like Im neglecting someone ELSE lol!) and enjoy quiet dinners with my husband...and about 24 hours in...here I am, blogging...cause Im bored without her!

Dont forget to visit the store and check out the new things Im adding this week.

Family Update November 2009

So lately, I've been pretty preoccupied with my store and with the girls, so I haven't been updating the blog as much as Id like. I hope to fix that soon!! In the meantime, here's a quick update!

Ash is LOVING school! She is so smart, and is back to writing her letters and recognizing letter sounds like she was at her Pre School in Pensacola.
She was Belle for halloween, and I will have pictures up asap.

Quote of the last month:

"Buh. Buh. MOM!! BUTT STARTS WITH THE LETTER B!!!!"

Gracie is growing like a weed! She is getting longer and not gaining so much girth, and my back and hips are grateful! MAN is she heavy!! At 8 months, she is weighing in at 18 lbs even and 28.5 inches. That means she has grown an inch every month! Sheesh.

She is SUCH a happy baby. She got her bottom 2 teeth, and her being "grumpy" basically means she doesn't give EVERYONE the full face smile every time you look at her. She isn't fussy and her reflux is totally gone. She is eating 3 meals a day and still nursing 4-5 times. I'm holding out and hoping I don't have to ween her until 12 months, but at this rate, she will be weening me!

She has discovered how to pick things up off the floor and stick them in her mouth (hurray.) and is scooting all over. No crawling yet, but she is certainly mobile.

Piper is keeping busy with school, his field flight and us, of course. He is doing VERY well in school! (He has gotten 97% on both of his recent research papers) He is in the field for 6 days each month, but in all honesty, I think its a great break for all of us. He gets to play in nature with guys and do all those guy things, and we get to hang out at home and do all the girl things (which are, in his opinion, pillow fights and talking about stickers.) He should be putting Master Sgt on sometime early 2010, and I am ENDLESSLY proud of him and the way he handles all his responsibilities. He is quiet a guy.

I have been keeping busy with my new business venture, and trying to keep up with the house. The store is really fun for me, and I'm really enjoying all aspects of it. And sales haven't been bad, either!! Make sure you visit when you're doing your Christmas shopping! I have tutus, personalized hand stamped necklaces and my girlfriend, Janel, is making DARLING hair accessories!!


I've also been exploring my creativity more with photography, something my brother and I both really enjoy. If I ever get to go back to school, I think that is what I would study. Its fascinating.

Anyway, hope this finds everyone well! With the holidays approaching, I know I will hear from more of you soon.
