You love to talk & sometimes this gets you into trouble. Everyone knows Parker. You are very much a social butterfly and loves to be the center of attention.

You and your  brother are best friends. You ask for each other if the other isnt around. I love that. I hope you will always be best of friends. You help your sister do anything and are a great protector of her. She is lucky to have you and Peyton as big brothers.

You love playing soccer. This is your first year and you are a natural at it. Your first game was last week and your team won!!! 5-2!!!! You scored 3 of the 5 goals!!!

I am very proud to be your Mom, Parker. Happy 6th Birthday Cheesecake!

Baby Sully's Art Review & Giveaway

I love hand crafted items no matter what they are. That is one reason I love fall so much is all the craft shows. However, that is also why I love Baby Sully's Art so much. This shop is full of hand painted custom nursery and children artwork. However, she can paint pretty much anything. If you have crib bedding you want a piece of art work to match then, this is the shop you have been looking for. Here are some of my favs from her shop.

How seriously cute are these little baby animals?

Love these painting made to match a nursery!

Absolutely LOVE the colors of this paint. Would be so cute in a little boys nursery!

Works for a nursery to an older childs room!

Such a special saying for so many, including myself. Would be great in any nursery.

Baby Sully's Art was so VERY generous and sent me a custom painting of my husbands car. His birthday is in 2 weeks and I had to give it to him early when it arrived. I knew I could not keep it a secret. That car is like his 4th child. He loves that car and this picture is priceless to him. He told me we have to find the perfect place to put it IN THE LIVING ROOM. Umm, I am not sure about that. He said if its in the garage (with all his other car things) that no one would see it lol. He wants everyone to see it. He is also going to be posting it on all his Camaro message boards that he is on. Makes me very happy with this shop!!!

(sorry the picture quality is so poor. my computer is on its last leg..)

Baby Sully's Art would like to extend her generousity and give Magical Memories followers the chance to win a $50 gift certificate to her shop! (You will not be disappointed in her work!)

Heather Rogers Designs Review & GIVEAWAY

I love personalized things! We all know it! That is why I love Heather Rogers Designs so much. She makes the cutest shirts for children, all completely personalized!!! She had a bunch of big/little sibling shirts which are great for pregnancy announcing as well as hospital visits to see a new baby & pictures. She also has tons of Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas Shirts too! Here are a few of my favorites but honestly love them all.

How adorable are these little candy corn sibling shirts? Perfect for those have little brother/sisters born in October!

Thinking about getting Parker this shirt for his birthday since he started his first year of soccer this year.

This is a MUST have for new little ones!!!

Love this Little Turkey! Wear it all fall season!!!

I am a Volunteer Fan so I am most definately in love with this little cheerleader. Presley Kate needs this when we go to Knoxville this fall to the zoo & pumpkin patch!!!

Heather Rogers Designs was very sweet and sent Presley Kate this adorable fall pumpkin shirt. I am in LOVE with it. Its so adorable. I wanted it a little big so that she can wear it all next fall season as well. I have no doubt that it will wear and wash til then because the design is made into the shirt. Its not like a sticker stuck on it that will peel off in one wash. I am very impressed with the quality of this shirt. I will most definately be ordering more from this shop & I think you should as well. (Plus you get extra entries into the giveaway when you make a purchase)

Bad Blogger Award!

That is what I should be receiving! Ha! My children have never been into extra curricular activities so this year with soccer, cub scouts, weekly speech & language sessions, a fulltime job & a small business, I find myself going a little crazy! I often wonder how other people do it. Any ways, that leaves little time to blog and I miss it! Its my outlet but I just havent had time to sit down and do it. To be honest, I have a lot of post started just not been able to complete them. Also I never posted the rest of our Disney pictures and over the weekend ALL of our pictures were deleted off the computer & our back up hard drive. We have a guy working to restore those but its looking pretty grim. I am so upset over this.

So how do you other busy mommas do it? My husband goes to school in the evening so he isnt able to help as much as he would like. Any suggestions? Advice? Or "You're not alones" lol

***Also please be sure to check out the amazing giveaways in the upper right sidebar. They have super low entries & it makes me sad!***

My Son, the Cub Scout

Some of you have gotten emails from my son who sent emails to everyone in my address book, but if you didnt here goes. My son, Peyton, who has NEVER had anything to do with any social event decided he wanted to join CubScouts. So here we are and he is LOVING it. I have never seen him interact with the other children like he is now. I am purely amazed how much he has grown over the last year. Anyways, we have started selling POPCORN and he would like to ask all of you if you would like to buy some popcorn from him. (He said PLEASE :0)) If you are interested let me know and I will send you an email and it will take you directly to his page and you can check out and pay online and they will ship it right to you!!! Its super easy. Thank you for your time & consideration.
