Goodbye June! Hello July!



Can you believe June is almost gone. Today is the 30th. WOW! Time flies! My vacation is creeping up on me. So excited. But before that we have July 1st tomorrow. Welcome July!

July means a month of free summertime activity. School was out in June and doesnt start back up until September. June and September are beginning and ending months. This is why I love July and August. Nothing but summer fun. I am a July baby. My son is also a July baby. My husband and first son are both June babies. We are a summer family! Bring it on!!!

Look Whats Cooking at Cradle Will Rock!



One of my Cradle Will Rock models cooking up something at home! Cooking is something that makes us all happy. As you can see here, you can be stylish while cooking your favorite meal. BBQ season is in full force. Do you know someone with a summer baby (aka not such a baby anymore) who needs to have a fun and unique birthday gift. I think my "stylish" chef hat and mitt will be a great little gift.

Speaking of BBQ season. I am a fan of Guy Fieri. He used to live in Long Beach, California. That is my old neck of the woods.
I will tell you that I recently heard that JJ McBrewsters American Smokehouse is a great place to go.
I watch his show Diners Drive-Ins and Dives. They do pulled pork, panini's, spuds, ribs... all BBQ delicious. It comes on good authority so head down there for your next dinner out when the "stylish" chef needs a break!

My vacation is just around the corner. I am geared up and ready to go. The hubby is back in California doing some much needed work around the CA house and of course, regular work (someone's gotta pay for it).
Then he is back to enjoy our Lake Cumberland wonderland called summer vacation! Can't wait to show you our pictures! And don't forget. My secret... yes, its still a secret! I will share soon... promise!

Let Rock Live Forever!

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the surprising and untimely death of Michael Jackson. Shock and sadness were felt nationwide. I wouldn't say I was a "fan" but I will tell you that this man was certainly amazing to the music world and could dance like a genius. He was probably misunderstood, he was quite eccentric and today a year later, the legendary King of Pop is gone but never forgotten. He defines the meaning of "American Icon".

I found this for those of you who may wish to make him part of your daily life:



If you have a little one who wants to rock the rockstar walls, maybe a Mommy Makeover is in order? My walls have tattoo art all over them. Having that done can be a bit pricey, timely and maybe over the budget you have in mind. Let's be honest, kids will love anything that you do! Here are some fun, easy ways to rock out your little ones walls.

The New iPhone is Out!!!

Why are we all so obsessed with the newest technology? Bigger, Better, More Functions, More Toys, and of course, More Money! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Can you believe the new iPhone is causing such a commotion? I can! I would be in line with the rest of the crazies who pre-ordered the newest baby Steve Jobs has delivered once again!

What is your weakness? Is it shoes? Is it handbags? Is it things for your kids? Is hair products? Lipstick? Sunglasses?

Good News! I did not succumb. You did not see me at the local hospital (called The Apple Store)

waiting for the delivery of the new baby iPhone G4. There may have been some crying but I assure you... it wasn't me. Right now I have bigger things in my mind. I have a secret to tell but I have to wait to tell you. It is exciting.

I shared with you the nest the other day... remember? Well the babies have been born. The mother is uber protective so I keep my distance. You may or may not be able to see from this picture but either way it is a great viewing area for all the beautiful birds and butterflies that come to this place.


What a cutie pie wearing a Cradle Will Rock Pillow Case Dress with the Skull and Roses print! Do you have a print you really like? Give me a call... I can create it for you.
