Whats new this fall

Just found out a few days ago that good friends of mine are having a baby! This is very exciting! I am so happy for them & thrilled that Stella will have a new playmate, possibly lover depending on the sex. =) I really hope to get pregnant again within the next year or so! I have been wanting another one lately.

On to other exciting news, I have decided to persue my idea of publishing children's books. I have written my first draft and I have a friend who is a really talented illistrator so we are going to collaborate on this first book & get it published. If it does well we might take this on and write more! I will keep you posted with how it goes.

HAPPY FALL EVERYONE, hope you all are getting your costumes ready!! =)

My Favorite Season..... Fall of 2010!

The crisp damp air, cloudy grey skys with drizzle.... Halloween decorations coming out, cozy sweaters, fall colorful leaves, Starbucks gingerbread lattes & an afternoon spent in Chapters. House music while going for car rides while the rain hits the windshield outside in the cold breeze. My birthday... Halloween parties & all the fun that surrounds that holiday, it releases your inner-child.... There is nothing like this time of year!

Rob & I have an annual Halloween party at our house since it is a time of year I really enjoy. We are going to start having a theme each year & this year will be the "dark-side". I have always wanted to be a witch for Halloween & never have been one so this is the perfect opportunity to be just that! I picked out the cutest Halloween costume for Stella (it's a surprise so it won't be revealed until closer to the time!) Rob's costume is quite clever also.

The Winter 12 week term for Boogie Bunnies starts up Nov. 5th/6th so people are starting to enroll now. It is turning out to be a very successful business & I am very pleased with all my hard work & enterpenurial (sp?) skills :) I just hired an assistant to help with the classes to make them run more smoothly. In the Winter term we will be having a couple mommy & me classes, one is for 3months-12 months of age & the other is for 1-3 year olds that aren't quite ready to be in an independent class yet. Then of course the usual 2-4 year old unassisted classes.

I am thrilled for my birthday coming up Oct. 22nd. Robert is planning something special but I told him I would like dinner @ The Keg ( my fav restaurant) , a luxury suite at a hotel that night with one or more things from my bday/xmas wish list:

Being a stay at home mom is very rewarding but also a lot of work! I crave "me time." Stella goes to daycare on Mondays from 9-3 this gives me time to myself. But it goes by so fast & there is always lots to do that I don't really have time to relax. I wish I had her in 2 days of care, one day to do stuff & the next day to rest. LOL...... ANYWAYS, I LOVE STELLA BELLA. SHE IS THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE. Rob works a lot. I feel like I never see him & when he does finally have time away from work he is still in "work mode"..... we need to take a vacation! We are looking to possibly go to the keys in February... I wish it was February tomorrow =)
