LOST: short haired baby, please call...

I keep losing the baby! Ok, he's not really a baby anymore...but he's the last one (yes, mom, definitely the last) and there fore he is forever, The Baby. Anyhoo....so in a 48 hr time span I think I've lost him 53 times. This dude was climbing into a kitchen cabinet today! I can barely fit the toaster in there, yet he wiggled and wriggled and found his way in.

I've made a habit of unplugging the baby monitor just in case someone in the neighborhood can pick up our frequency. Can you imagine their horror as they hear me screaming, "Mikey, where are you?!?" for the longest 30 seconds of my life??

He has found a nook behind the couch, a cranny beside the changing table, the pantry, behind the clothes hanging in the closet, inside the laundry basket, inside the beautiful black antique cabinet in the living room that was made for storing vinyl albums and stereo stuff in - now transformed into a chic place to hide Dr. Suess books and race cars..oh, and the baby.

A few of the places he's been hiding, I can't even figure out. He just materializes like a very short, and cute, Halloween ghost. Do they make a "clapper" for babies. I need to go google that.

Cheers!

It's Fab Friday!

Sales sales, who has the sales? By Friday I am ready to reward myself for another week of keeping all my children fed, clothed appropriately, bathed occasionally and having not lost a single one of them! I deserve to fill my weekend with a bit of shopping. Online of course because I have not managed to make my own self presentable, again.

First stop is for note cards. No time to make your own? Still show some creativity and thoughtfulness by stocking up on these adorable cards from ZeVin Creations. I love this Autumn Flowers creation fit for the most thankful of thank you notes, or a special hello.

ZeVin also has the option to custom order your special occasion cards. A perfect way to get a jump on the holidays.


Next stop, birthday presents for a few friends. Being the Bargain-Betty that I am, I quickly score a sale page at Yndigo Designs. Very unique jewelry creations. I love this wood bangle. Usually I find rounded bangles but I've never seen one like this. And at only $14.40, a total bargain! Check out all the other beautiful pieces on sale before they are gone!

I hope that helps your shopping go just a little more smoothly. Enjoy your fab finds!

Favorite Things - take a Chance

I love the new fragrance, Chance, by Chanel. It's fresh, yet a bit sophisticated. Light floral notes with a hint of spices. A little sweet, a little sensual. My hubby likes it on me and strangers stop me to ask what that lovely perfume is that I'm wearing. Available online at Chanel.com, Macy's and other department stores. Take a chance!

Things We Love

I thought I would make a list this week of all the products I've been lucky enough to try lately. These are all products you can buy online right now!

Today I want to tell you about Vintage Body Spa. Their light and creamy Wherever Body Cream comes in several delicious scents and feels oh-so-good on dry skin. Perfect addition to your skin care regimen as the dry weather starts to blow in.

A bargain at $12 for an 8 oz. container, loaded with organic Aloe Vera and a non-greasy formula. Check it out and try for yourself. Cranberry & Fig, Vanilla Chai, and more yummy smells to choose from. You will see why the Wherever Body Cream from Vintage Body spa is one of my favorite things this week.
