Party Planning = Busy Week for Mama!
So, I haven’t written a post in almost 1 1/2 weeks….and ‘ya know, I can’t even believe how incredibly fast that time passed. It was Miss Ella’s birthday last week, and between visits to school, making cupcakes and putting together the details of her party, I kept rather busy every single day! Yeah, some may question that previous declaration, as our little soiree for Princess Ella only consisted of family (which is very small) and our friends who live next door….but, here’s a little secret for you – I’m incredibly ANAL when it comes to party planning! And not just that, I’m a bit OCD when it comes to needing having everything be perfectly put together…..which naturally also includes making sure my house is a vision of impeccable cleanliness. I know, I know. In the end, is it really worth all that pressure and work? The answer is: YES. Because it’s the only way I know how….and it’s who I am & how I’m wired. And it’s simply my desire to be an awesome Mama who gave her little girl a great birthday party! Besides, how cute are these??:
(Of course, I also made time to find a perfectly fabulous new top, as well as fit in a hair appointment - and I’ll defend myself here by saying the hair appt. just happened to work out that way time wise. What can I say, it’s the fashionista in me!)
Here are just a couple of pics for your viewing pleasure….behold the cuteness that is Princess Ella’s birthday!

Conversations With The Vertically Challenged (aka Toddlers)
At almost 4 years old, the peanut has been saying some pretty funny & random stuff lately, especially when she’s trying to rationalize with us. I try my damn hardest to remember it all….but unfortunately I have the mental capacity of a gnat when it comes to memory. Seriously, I can’t remember shit. The hubby often gets annoyed at me when he recalls a conversation we had and I have NO idea what he’s talking about. What can I say? It’s another lovely trait I inherited from my mom’s side of the family (along with some excessive sweating and frequent klutziness).
Anyhow, the peanut and I were in the car the other day, just listening to music as we were headed home from the gym. Lately she’s been trying to sing along to songs – her current favorite being Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”….she loves belting out the ‘gaga ooh la la’ part. So, a song that I really like came on, and this time I tried singing along, but only knew the main chorus. Here is what followed:
peanut: “Why did you stop singing, mama?”
me: “Because I only know that one part of the song.”
peanut: “Mama! All you have to do is listen for a tiny bit, and then you know the words!”
And then she proceeded to sing the next line of the song correctly, as if to say “see? piece of cake!”.
Sheesh!
