Bully Update...and some Bunny too Love..

I am so sorry..especialyl to Holly..for making you wait for my update. We had a tradegy happen a couple of days ago involving our lab..Roxy...she discovered a bunny nest and destroyed it..it was a bunny masacre..3 dead..1 survivor..I don't think she was trying to kill the bunnies..more like come out and play..the lone survivor was the last one she had grabbed and I took it out of her mouth..not a little hair was harmed on the tiny thing..so we have been taking care of bun bun..and so far so good..eating well, pooping well..and getting jumpy so I am hoping to release Bun Bun back into the wild as soon as I think it needs to go...but I do have loads on Bunny love in my heart..I will look at all the bunnies running around my yard in a whole new light..they are the funnies little creatures and damn cute!! Okay..before this becomes a novel...

Onto school...I talked to the Vice Principal on Monday and told her the story..well Tuesday Mads came home and told me she was called into the office and shown pic's of all the boy's and what her side of the story was..she told them..well the boys DeNied it and blamed J (won't give names..but just know J is Mads BFF and is 2 years older..they have been friends since we moved here almost 4 years ago)..so later that night J's dad called me and was mortified, apologetic and honestly sad because J admitted to everything..including blaming the boy's..she started it all and the boy's just went with it..now the boy that put the paper down his pants is a whole other story..so anyway J came over and apologized and tried to explain herself..I had a LONG talk with her laying down the law..and the boy's including paper boy and J have been written up and spoken too...the school took action super fast and I am THRILLED. Mads is good and has already forgiven J..although J is grounded for life at this moment in time..and I think 2 years..3rd and 5th graders is a huge age gap so now I just have to try my best to get Mads to hang out with her other friends..it is so easy because J is down the street but so not worth the hurt..and the Principal called me today an updated me on everything..I am happy with the school..and honestly happy I SPOKE up...sad it was J because man it hurts when a friend hurts you..but not surprised...at all...I hope Mads can find that friend that loves her no matter what..I don't doubt she will....

Thanks so much...

More designs coming in the next few weeks..I am playing a bit with these so want them to be perfect!

On the homefront..score 1 for mama..I chatted with the school today and there will be consequences for those meanies..I am going to call and follow up next monday...Thank you everyone that emailed me..it made me feel like I had a huge amount of support behind me and made me stronger..our kiddo's should never be bullied by anyone!

Have a fab day!!

Flubbernutter...

If I could say some serious cuss words and not feel bad about it I would..my kiddo is being tortured on the bus..this week has been the week I have been dreading for Mads because she is ultra sensitive and I just know how kids can be..downright mean! She has been called a buthole, and that she sucks her thumb through pictochat on Nintendo that all the kids play with on the bus and the older kids just ran with it..today she came home in tears because a little meanie took a paper of her's and put it down his pants and rubbed it around and handed it back to her..they stole her stuff and wouldn't give it back..flubbernutter...so Monday bright and early this mama is going to the principal..hopefully by that time I will have mellowed a bit..mean people SUCK!! Oh there was a substitute bus driver so he had NO control over these kids..she said it was louder than the Gwen Stefani concert I took her to..sounds safe..NOT. Ohhh...OHhh..I am peeved! Think happy thoughts..think happy thoughts!

It felt great to vent..thank you..

5 days..and counting

I feel like the last month has been me promoting the Tranquil summer launch..and guess what still am! I am a horrible sales person...really horrible..I went to NY one year to sell my line and I spent thousands on the fabulous journey and sold zero but have memories that will last a lifetime...the worst and best memory...Jen and I in the rain with HUGE boxes trying to catch a cabbie at cabbie shift change time..I wanted to cry and think we laughed at the same time..NY is scary and brilliant all at once..

back on subject......I really suck at sales..I hope my love for dressing your kids in fab clothes that you can't find at wally world or targe' shows through..I love designing so I hope you love my designing for little one's..

Ahh...spring....

Hey ya'll!

Can you say busy..busy! I am Spring Cleaning (getting ready for family for Mad's 9th birthday..wow! 9 years..flipping amazing!)

..loading new sets on the site for the Tranquil Summer launch..finishing up my trunk show orders from Cutest Kids! And honestly taking some quiet time and researching a few new design idea's. I have seriously just been enjoying..the sun has graced us with it's presence for a bit..the lawn is mowed and the robins are out looking for worms..loads of them..I just sit and spend a few minutes enjoying the birdies.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE spring..fresh and bright!

My tranquil summer launch will be posted on the site..mid afternoon on the 14th..I am waiting on a few pic's from the amazing photo guru's I have been working with..I am so excited about this collection..I have spent months working on it and I really hope you all enjoy it..please check out the site..that is the only place you will be able to purchase the collection..no ebay, etsy or trunk shows! Sorry..just need to do it this way..this time around!

I hope you all are enjoying your sunshine...
