So Father's Day was never a big deal for me. I never had one and only in the last few years did I celebrate it with Fabio's Father Claudio. So this year is extremely bittersweet, with Claudio's passing in August & then Fabio about to become one in just days!
I know he will be very sad as it will be his first Father's day without him so I tried to get him a feel good gift or two and this is what I came up with.

From daddyscrubs.com is the basic "i'm the daddy" tee. Now I really liked the scrubs and if we were having a scheduled surgery I would have definitely went with those, but since I am rooting for a natural birth I didn't want to jinx it. This is going in the hospital bag for his change of clothes:)
I also went for the scottevest.

According to babble.com( ps, I am really obsessed with that site) This Go crib is the best travel crib. Like a pack and play, totally portable and fits in a backpack. I have been eyeing it up for months. At $250 + shipping though I was waiting for a sale or an awesome ebay auction to get it at a steal.
This post is meant to inform you of two things. This really great crib. The reviews are fabulous, and auction sniper. Isaw the listing on ebay over a week ago. Starting bid $24.95 score! I have been watching it all week. This morning it was up to $86.36 with 3 hours left. I was so scared to be outbid and miss this deal. So I logged on to
Easy eBay bid sniper solutions.
entered in the item number my max bid price and that was it. 3 hours later with 26 seconds to go. I watched my computer snipe away entering in my bid with three seconds left and winning me my crib at $151. A $100 + savings from retail and shipping costs.
So if you are an ebay fanatic like me, you need this tool in your tool box. Sign up now for free and get 3 free snipes! Auctionsniper.com
From the site: Auction Sniper Is a Competitive Edge In Winning Auctions...
Let's face it: you really want to win that auction. And you don't want to pay too much. The secret: bid with your brain, instead of starting a bidding war. Use Auction Sniper to play the game on your own terms and begin winning auctions consistently.
Here are the benefits of using Auction Sniper...
Avoid a bidding war. Bidding wars often cause you to spend more money than you actually intended. Therefore you actually are going to be saving money by using Auction Sniper because you won’t rely on compulsive bidding to win an auction.
Let us do the work. Don’t let your work or leisure time get interrupted by a closing auction. With Auction Sniper you don't have to sit by your computer and watch the bidding until the auction closes. Once you place a snipe bid with us, our servers handle everything automatically. Not only are you saving money, but you are also saving time.
Why bid prematurely? Why would you want to increase an auction's current bid price if it doesn't close for several more days? This only leads to an inflated closing bid. There is no reason to bid prematurely; it will only encourage other bidders to bid on the item.
Cancel your bid. When you bid directly though eBay, it is generally difficult to cancel your bid. With Auction Sniper, you can cancel your bid up to 5 minutes before our servers place it for you. So you are buying time to think about your bid and make sure it's what you intend.
Bid Groups. AuctionSniper's Bid Groups feature allows you to bid on the same item from different sellers. As soon as you win one auction at the price you want, we'll automatically cancel the rest of your bids.
Win! Auctions with little effort and time. Save your worries for more important things...

If you are like me, you are interested in getting a great value when it comes to buying heels. You also want a little glamour as well as convenience. Well, I’m bringing you another choice where the monthly shoe club is concerned.
JustFab.com offers you the ability to take their style quiz, they determine what your “style personality” is based on the quiz and then the professional team of stylists pick shoes & handbags that fit your style. The price for these picks is the same as Shoedazzle which i have puchased several items from over the last year or so. One of the things I enjoy about other than the fact that you Get one pair of extraordinary shoes or bag every month, handpicked for you by our fashion experts. JustFab.com is that each month, they post a vid on what they like each month for shoes & handbags. They give you a few style options and this is a great help for the “style challenged”. The prices are reasonable and they have a wide array of styles to choose from. I love getting great value with added convenience, makes me squeal with happiness!
Do you have any experience with this club?

Do you love samples? Do you like opening presents? Do you get excited just knowing there is a package on its way in the mail (I know I do!)? Do you love high end makeup and skincare? If you answered "yes" to all those questions, then signing up for Birchbox.com just might just be right for you!
Here's the scoop:
Birchbox is a "members-only" website where you can buy specific brands of high-end cosmetics and skincare. For $10 a month you get access to the website (tips, tricks, tutorials, etc), online shopping (with *free* shipping), points accumulation from purchases that can go towards free products/or as discount (similar to the Sephora Beauty Insider points), and (best of all) a monthly package (beautifully wrapped in a pink box) with 4-5 delux (large size, not the foil package kind, but the mini-bottle type) samples. What really convinced me to sign up: On the website, you can fill out a beauty profile. This way Birchbox can match your samples to your specific coloring, interests, and skin/hair type, types of products you like to splurge on, etc. So, your samples will be "personalized". Cool! Points can be accumulated by answering surveys, purchases, and referrals (not sure exactly how this works just yet, but will let ya'll know more specifics in the future!). The custom samples plus free shipping on orders really "sold" me!
I love trying new products and testing and reviewing (lol, can ya'll tell)!!! I also think this is an interesting and fun way for anyone wanting to branch out with their beauty routine to try out some new items (and get free shipping!). Plus, who doesn't like getting a "present" in the mail every month. :)

You open the Birchbox giftbox to reveal a Birchbox card with a note about the package's theme on the front and product descriptions on the back. Cute concept! I like the idea that the boxes have a "theme"! I really hadn't realized that they organized the boxes in that manner. So, cool!!! The card is lying on top of the products that are nicely wrapped within coordinating burgundy tissue paper.
Opening the box and the tissue gives you a waft of a lovely herbal-like scent which hints of the treats inside.
Overall, I am really pleased with this month’s Birchbox!!! Especially my DDF pore serum. It is already my favorite product I have been using, but this month to welcome me I am offered 20% off my first order~ SCORE! Another great Birchbox bonus: If you test and review the products you receive in your box on Birchbox.com, you earn extra loyalty points!
If you haven't had a chance to check out Birchbox for yourself, check them out here at Birchbox.com. It's just $10 per month or $100/year to join and get your own monthly samples box (and all the other benefits of being a member). You fill out an online profile and they will tailor your Birchbox samples to your specific profile and product preferences.
I am thrilled with this month's box and can already tell that this Birchbox membership is worth it! I can't wait to use and test out these products...and can't wait to see what next month's Birchbox will bring!

When you are traveling with children, I am assuming the biggest challenge is balancing carry-ons, strollers and babies. Going through security with the stroller, unfolding, refolding and then gathering up all of your things before heading on the plane is even more of a challenge when you are traveling solo!
The creative geniuses at Catiglione Morelli designed a really interesting stroller concept with family travel in mind. This creative option includes a specialized compartment that is attached to the luggage. This accessory folds out into a child seat allowing you to pull your baby and your luggage at the same time.
The only catch with this brilliant invention – it isn’t available as of yet. No word as to when or if they are planning on officially launching the luggage, but it is a pretty cool idea nonetheless! I am patiently awaiting this product:)

Almost as terrifying as my upcoming labor,
It’s the Brazilian bikini wax!
Despite the dread and anxiety, many of us endure this torture every few weeks (“it’s that time of the month” now has two meanings). And although we believe that the smooth results are worth the hurt, we’ve been constantly searching for ways to relieve this painful process. I haven't been back since Oct, because it was extraordinarily more painful than usual(due to pregnancy hormones I didn't know I had). I, however can no longer see or reach the down under so I had to grin & bear it and make the appointment! So I frantically searched for something to make it tolerable.

I, however can no longer see or reach the down under so I had to grin & bear it and make the appointment! So I frantically searched for something to make it tolerable.
Well, say goodbye to the pain and hello to the Bare Ease “ouchless” bikini waxing kit! This long-awaited numbing kit was created by anesthesiologist, Dr. Edna Ma and uses 4% lidocaine cream to numb your nether regions during a trip to the wax-itician. This numbing cream is actually used in hospitals worldwide to numb areas of skin for laser procedures and administering shots. Some tattoo parlors even use this numbing goop to ease the pain from having a needle jabbed into your skin thousands of times.
Here’s how it works: Each kit comes with a single-use tube of numbing solution that you are instructed to apply over your desired waxing area at least 30 minutes before the dreaded waxing experience. Next, put on the pink panties, which are included, that help protect your clothing when you are en route to the waxing parlor. These disposable skivvies also help the numbing cream stay in the designated area.
The numbing effect only lasts 30 minutes to an hour, so make sure you don’t apply the anesthetic until you are prepared and ready to get your business waxed. You can get this pain-saving kit for $25 at the Bare Ease website. Although this numbing creation may up your bikini wax budget, it is truly worth the moolah to prevent your private area from experiencing that kind of pain. It works. It's not ouchless, but definitly do-able!

So My shower was last Sunday, and it was beautiful. I got such fabulous gifts, Ate fabulous food, and caught up with amazing friends. and you know what else! I got the Uppababy Vista in the limited edition color Maya(yellow). I am obsessed because I can pop the car seat right on it, or stroll with the bassinet, or use the basic seat and in 2 years god willing we have baby number two I can pop on the rumble seat and push around my little army:) And to go with my ultra fab stroller I got the FABULOUS timi & leslie diaper bag. It was non negotiable because it will double as my purse. Don't you just love the concept?? Here's my pics, sorry they are all just plopped in here. I have to go pack my hospital bag:)

I bought a bar of this at my Prenatal appointment, it smelled good enough and I loved that it was all natural and safe for my skin and baby inside. These soaps are so cool! They are 100% natural, totally wild and wonderful, and produced by a fabulous small green business, owned by Maggie Hanus and her son, who cleverly refer to themselves as "soap bartenders". Located near Austin, Texas, A Wild Soap Bar uses lots of plants and herbs native to Texas, like yucca, for refreshingly different soap products.So what is wrong with your typical soap? Soaps often contain DEA (diethonolamine), as do many shampoos, detergents and surfactants.
Key ingredients are saponified cold pressed olive oil, saponified coconut oil, distilled water, saponified organic palm oil, saponified castor oil, organic aloe, essential oils, earth clays, wildflowers and numerous other botanicals, sea salt, ultramarines, iron oxides
Words cannot express how truly wonderful these soaps are! I now realize that I spent most of my life using the "fast-food" version of soap. These soaps are just wild, with beautiful earthy colors, invigorating textures that often include bits of herbs and grains, and the most heavenly and exotic aromas I've ever encountered in soaps ( Bluebonnet, Prickly Pear, Cedarwood, Wildflower, Sunflower, Mesquite, Yucca Root, and Horsemint).
Additionally, they do not dry your skin out at all, but rather leave it feeling soft, silky, moisturized, and smelling heavenly for hours! I can often identify which soap my husband used after he gets out of the shower, because the pleasant aroma just emanates from his skin.
I am not sure I will ever use another soap that is not made by A Wild Soap Bar- that is how much I am loving these soaps! If you are ready for an invigorating, uplifting, and exotic bathing experience, then you have to try these soaps! The best part is they have an odds and ends lot that is unmarked(but who cares? It's all amazing)and includes four bars & for a limited time, you buy one get one free..
ORDER NOW!!!!!!
Watch this first if you aren't convinced:)

I am a self professed freak about certain things. And today I am letting my freak flag fly. My pet peeve list runs deep. I hate when the toilet paper or paper towels are rolling under rather than over. And please don’t ever let me catch you not washing your hands after you use the bathroom. I hate being friends with people who are nasty & unsanitary. Stop spreading your bodily fluids to other stuff people touch!!! You, my friend, are just disgusting.
All cabinets and drawers must be fully closed but doors must be open or at least cracked (except closet doors and curtains, which also must be fully closed).
Liars & hypocrites. Oh, that is a big one! Not only do you bug me, but I can’t trust a single thing you say. Nor do I feel like it, so don't keep requesting me to.
Repetitive noises drive me nuts, like my husbands whistling or singing the same line of a song over and over and over again. ugh. But somehow the hours of chirps and whistles from my birds didn't bother me at all.. Go figure!
And slow drivers make me IRATE. I have many more, but I have other stuff I have to focus on today so fess up, what's your biggest pet peeve? Spill it!

During my pregnancy my go to product is the Mama Mio Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter & or the oil. The yummiest, purest, creamiest, melt-in-your-skin products ever . Mama Mio pregnancy skincare products work because of their very high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 to ensure your skin has the best fighting chance against pregnancy stretch marks. One scoop and you’ll know our Tummy Rub Butter deserves every award and accolade it has won. It smells gorgeous, makes you feel gorgeous and is a pleasure to use. Their amazing distinctive scent is Gravida and it combines ingredients like shea, rose hip, sweet almond oil, vitamin E, borage and wheatgerm oil. The sole purpose of this product is to increase elasticity. Sounds obvious but now more than ever, I need that skin to stretch. In fact, about to enter my final trimester has made my basketball belly as tight as a drum! It absorbs in 20 seconds or less which is impressive given the rich consistency this product offers up with each application. And finally, it helps shrink your stretched tummy post-pregnancy and if that isn’t music to a mama’s ears…I don’t know what is! Guess what else needs the same TLC? The girls. Yup, it’s official. I have been using their "Boob Tube". Think glowy, dewy, firmer and fitter. Did you ever think those words would work in the same sentence as…well, your northern hemisphere? I didn’t but the older I get, I appreciate a multi-tasking product as much as the next gal. It’s official – put these two products on your Spring Beauty Wish List, your skin will thank you! PS They just came out with skin care Yippee!

I have an awesome friend who happens to be a new mom, she offered my great advice on all things mommy & baby. She sent me a breast pump and an amzing dress to wear while pregnant. So I had matching slippers made for her and baby(last picture) I also had fortune cookie slippers made for her. The packaging is unbelievable. I think it's a great gift idea. What say you?

You’ve seen her work: the girls with big hair, big bags, and big sunglasses. Arms full of bangles, chunky platforms, skinny jeans effortlessly slung on the hips. Flowy, glamorous dresses accented with loads of accessories and a ton of bronzer: this is Rachel Zoe style.
While she’s had a substantial presence in the fashion world for some time, Rachel Zoe has recently gone very mainstream. With a Crackberry of celebrity clients, a best-selling book, and a successful reality TV show, Rachel Zoe has hit the big time. Now, she offers us another glimpse into her stylish world with The Zoe Report–a daily e-mail newsletter featuring Rachel’s “favorite obsessions in the ever-evolving worlds of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle.” Love It:
I’ll be honest–99% of the swag featured in the Zoe Report is crazy expensive, which could be depressing. I say could, however, because happily, Rachel has provided all of us un-blessed with a celebrity bank account with cheaper options to achieve the same style. And they’re cute! Even better, the “parallel universe” items seem to be just as expertly picked as Rachel’s pricier features–they actually look alike. There’s nothing more annoying than a “celebrity look for less” that showcases adorable clothing of the stars and then offers totally ugly cheapy alternatives, so I’ve gotta give Ms. Zoe some props in this area.
Daily Dose of ‘I Die’: It’s not just Rach’s style of fashion that’s unique – her vocabulary is too. So much so, in fact, that a Funny or Die video parodying her speech patterns recently went viral. Not gonna lie, after watching The Rachel Zoe Project, I’ve started using the phrase “I die,” pretty regularly. Don’t even get me started on her use of “shutting it down” or “bananas.” Rachel is both ridiculous and hilarious, so getting my fix of her lexicon before breakfast pretty much ensures a good day. Mostly.
Loathe It:
Items featured: Although Rachel is a style maven, some of the pieces she offers are not exceptionally wearable, or exceptionally cute. Sequined leggings? Hot pink fedora? Really Rachel? Probs not. And while, for the most part, I love her take on accessories and apparel, when Rachel decides to talk “beauty” or “lifestyle” products, I’m inclined to look elsewhere for advice.
Do any of you receive the Rachel Zoe Report? Are you liking it? Let me know your feelings in the comments!

Ashley Owen Hill, an animal rescuer in Mississippi, is a true hero, and I couldn't help sharing her amazing and inspirational story with you. In addition to rescuing and rehoming healthy, adoptable pets, Ashley does something very special for terminally ill dogs who enter the shelter: she takes them home and gives them the very best week of their lives. In some cases, these dogs have never known love before they meet Ashley, but they die knowing that they were finally loved and cherished by their very own extraordinary person.
Please read Ashley's story...I guarantee you'll be inspired. Warning: keep a tissue (or several tissues) handy: this is a tear-jerker.

I am embarrassed to say I buy almost every cream & potion that claims to do something to prevent aging and make your skin glow. I have tried it all..including the famed La mer( The most expensive) , I have the 24/7 freeze which is good for a quick fix but tends to make your foundation ball up. Not a good look. I recently had microermabrasion which made my skin feel soft and supple and My #1 preferred anti aging secret is GRAVELY missed during my pregnancy.. My beloved Botox!~ I was supposed to get my 2nd of my 2 times a year treatment the same week I found out I was preggers:(
So I have been struggling with weight gain, bad skin and wrinkles. poor me. I have some good news for you. I am done searching, done trying & buying. I have found the perfect at home product line and tool. Seriously. i have only used it for 2 weeks and WHAT a difference. I am not saying I won't have my botox injection within 5 min of giving birth( just kidding) , but I will say that this is by far the next best thing. I am officially obsessed.
But even if you’re not red carpet bound, or you don't have aging or problematic skin DDF’s Revolve delivers visible improvement in skin tone and evenness, pore appearance, fine lines, radiance, and brightness. The at-home resurfacing system is shown to be more effective than a professional microdermabrasion. Meaning that at $95 it can save you serious dough on expensive spa treatments and creams (like I said I am done).
The Revolve 400X Micro-Polishing System features a two speed setting with a continuous rotating motion that delivers eight times better exfoliation than a scrub alone. It's microdermabrasion at home!! The light weight, battery operated system can be used anywhere!
Make sure when you order it, you must order the Anti wrinkle pore reducing serum. The perfect consistency, smells so amazing, and my skin feels SO SOFT & SMOOTH! I am done ranting because I have to go scrub my face now! Ps Your welcome~ :)

Alot of pregnancy don'ts I believe are totally overblown reactions, of course (moderation in all things!), but when it comes to the health of your unborn baby–especially your first–you want to do no wrong. I’m a little more moderate in my views, based on all the generations before us and here are a few common pregnancy don’ts that I do.
1. Drink coffee. I did actually give it up for a few weeks in my first trimester. They smell of it turned my stomach. Now that my nausea has stabilized, I find that a half-calf cup of coffee in the morning mixed with milk and a little sugar(normally I prefer it black) pretty much makes my day. If I’m out, I’ll get a small single-shot cappuccino.
2. Eat soft cheeses. I love blue and feta cheese. I know if it's pasturized it's said to be safe. But I can't say for sure all the soft cheese i have eaten out has been pasturized.
3. Dye my hair. I don't do it often but I have 2 times so far during this pregnancy and my midwives said it's fine.
4. Change cat litter~ I have done it every single day for at least 18 years. I did test negative for Toxoplasmosis, what more do I need to do?
5. Eat Sushi. I’ve been eating it for years and never gotten sick, and a blanket ban on raw fish doesn’t really hold up in my mind to millions of healthy Japanese babies, despite sushi being an accepted part of a healthy pregnancy diet in Japan. And I find it thouroughly amusing that only 19 % of Ob's surveyed knew that sushi grade fish is flash frozen prior to slicing and that kills any parasites that are present.
6. I have the occasional glass of wine. I tell people I am pretending I am french. It's only about 1 oz. per week on either Sat or sunday evening. I make it last for at least a half hour with my baby sips! Between my hormones and anxiety I think the baby is better off with me having an occasional drink:)
What about you? What “rules” do you break while pregnant?

So. Although we were only married for 6 months at the time (They post 18 months Huh?) We had a great time losing the Newlywed Game Show. We did win a great food processor:) Love the banter between us, and if you think I am doing weird things with my mouth~ You are right! They put some elmer's glue lip gloss on me as I walked on stage. I couldn't swallow, I could barely open my mouth. But it's a once in a lifetime memory, an embarrassing one at that!

I have to make this short because the pain is still there and the wounds are so raw. On Dec 19th 2010, I had to say goodbye to the most amazing animal I ever shared my life with. I did the right thing without question, in my arms putting her out of her pain. She literally fell asleep in my arms. Peaceful. I never had a family I could identify with, many things changed through the course of my adult life but one thing was constant~ Her presence and unconditional love in my life!~ I shed tears as I type this and My mama bear I hope to meet again in the next life. I love you!
May I go now?
Do you think the time is right?May I say goodbye to pain filled days...and endless lonely nights?I've lived my life and done my best,an example tried to be.So can I take that step beyondand set my spirit free?I didn't want to go at first,I fought with all my might.But something seems to draw me nowto a warm and loving light.I want to go. I really do. It's difficult to stay.But I will try as best I canto live just one more day.To give you time to care for meand share your love and fears.I know you're sad and afraid,because I see your tears.I'll not be far, I promise that,and hope you'll always knowthat my spirit will be close to youwherever you may go.Thank you so for loving me.You know I love you, too.That's why it's hard to say goodbyeand end this life with you.So hold me now just one more timeand let me hear you say,because you care so much for me,you'll let me go today.
