Have a great weekend, everyone!

Here are some photos I took at the Winchester Mystery House gardens a few weeks ago when Grandma and Papa were here. Hope you enjoy!

Posting has been a little sporadic lately due to my new business venture. While some of the more mundane details can obviously be left until a later date (like never), I just thought I'd give a little "sneak peek" of what's to come...I think you'll like what I have in store for you!

Photo Friday! 04.04.08 (Fire Safety)

Last weekend KB, Poppy, Sweet Pea and I went on a tour of a local fire station with our Parents' Club. The kids had a great time learning about when to dial 9-1-1, what to do if there is a fire at home, how to develop and practice practice practice an emergency plan for leaving the home and meeting outside at a specific location, and even watching one of the firefighters put on all his gear so they wouldn't be afraid of a fully-suited firefighter.

For the kids, the highlight was definitely getting their photo taken in the fire truck.

Hats off to all firefighters and rescue workers for all you do everyday!

Photo Friday! 03.14.08 (Catching a breath!)

Yeah! My laryngitis is gone, Poppy's "morning sleepover" birthday party is over (it was a success but mainly I'm just happy that it's over), and I actually had time to go to the Cantor Museum today with the girls. Thank goodness the gift shop is way in the back because museum gift shops are definitely one of my weaknesses - they always have the coolest stuff!

The weather is shaping up here so I thought we'd check out the Rodin garden and get some info on taking our Parents Group there for one of our monthly outings. Here are some shots I thought you might enjoy.

Hope you take this weekend to catch your own breath! If you do, let me know how you did it - I'm always up for new ideas!

Also, here's the latest "Poppy" story which took place at 6:00AM today:

Poppy: Mommy we need a dog.

Me: If we had a dog you would have to take it outside right now to go potty
and it's freezing outside.

Poppy: No I wouldn't. It could just use our potty.

Me: How in the world would a dog be able to use the potty?

Poppy: I would just hold it over the potty and it could go to the bathroom.

Me: First, dogs aren't made to sit down and go to the bathroom. And second,
the bathroom is only for people.

Poppy: Okay, then I could just put a diaper on it!

--How is it that kids think of everything?

Missed some "Photo Fridays" due to travel. Here are Poppy and Sweet Pea having fun with their sewing cards. This was a great find at Target on-line.

Of course, a mommy in search of the hip in life couldn't pass up the Hip Kid's Boutique in Palo Alto today. A big "Thank You" to everyone who helped organize such a terrific event! (Fundraising and shopping - the perfect combination!) Here is my find of the day: a handmade dress from Ashley Jane for Poppy with a matching jumper (on it's way) for Sweet Pea. It was great meeting you Ashley - you have a new fan! Check out her work here for mod vintage/retro baby and toddler clothes and gifts - like oh so cuddly blankets!

Photo Friday!

Go-Go Mommy is starting a new tradition: Photo Friday. With summer coming to an end let's stop to smell the roses (or tulips). Poppy, Sweat Pea and I did it with a friend and her toddler who visited us in April. Here is a photo from our trip to Filoli Gardens. Thanks, K & I, for a great visit!
