Your Kid Could Be the Next Gap Kid!!


This is the second contest I have entered my son in and I am sure that it is annoying to people when it's time for them to vote because I am like Jo Jackson when it comes to promoting my son. Here is an opportunity for you and your child to get an all expense paid trip to San Francisco and a full photo shoot for your child. Your child's face could also be in Gap stores all over the world! Gas prices are high as hell...we need to start pimping our kids...(some mom's reading this are probably gasping because I said that, get over yourself...lol) Click on the picture above to be re-directed to the website and then bring your ass back and read the rest of my posts.

Cool Finds (It is Monday...I Don't Feel Like Being Creative Today With The Titles








Dolce & Gabbana Down Coat...Too Cute!

I found this jacket on a website that sells designer clothes for children. The company was established in 1952 and their main purpose was to sell handmade dresses. It is now one of the largest fashion retailers on the Internet. The webiste is called Children Salon Treasure and it is based in England. Here is the Dolce & Gabbana jacket I was referring to in the title.
This jacket is for little girls and will cost you about $288.

I am my Momma's Child!




When I was a little girl I had so many issues with my hair. I was not at the point where I am now when it came to embracing the texture of my hair. It took years of trying new products, hairstyles, braids, weaves, etc. before I was happy to be who I was. Out of all the hair products that I have used over my life I have never came across a product that actually works as far as helping me to keep my hair manageable. I was told about a company called Carols Daughter by a good friend of mine (Lohren) and she told me that the products are all natural. I have been using products that contained alcohol for years and I was wondering why my hair remained damaged. If you are looking for products for yourself or your little girl that are all natural and smell GREAT you should try out a few of my favorites from Carol's Daughter. (I do not work for the company but I do endorse products that work).

I would like to thank my husband who was instrumental in showing me how my beauty was so much more than external. (Not that I don't look good....lol) I have loc's and people always ask me why I got them and they are always looking for some deep answer. I am not Rastafarian and I do not smoke weed...lol I just wanted to be free from the "hair oppression" and my husband suggested loc's and now I love them! Carol's daughter products work on all hair types not just loc's.

Princess Converse



These shoes are a little too much for me personally...lol, but if I had a little girl I am almost certain that she would love them. They are by the designer Deadly Girl Couture. The pictures above are of the Princess High tops in Black and the Polka dot high tops in pink. They are converse and they will cost you a hot $85. ADORABLE!

President Poo Poo Head!

I won't elaborate on all the mistakes that Bush made but this onesie sums up how I feel.

If You Can't Afford Designer...Here Are Some Knockoffs





I was searching this website called www.kitsel.com and they have these onesies and baby t-shirts that play on all the popular designers. The onesies were designed by this company called Deadly Girl Couture Look closely at the names. The onesies cost $30.

Mama's For Obama!




Now I am not discriminating on those who support McCain(actually I am) but I do support Barack Obama and I had to put these Mama for Obama t-shirts on here. They are from this website called sandboxthreads.com The onesies cost $18.



Now there is an Obama onesie that is too much! I think it is making a mockery of Obama and I pray that McCain doesn't get his hands on this picture. This onesie is from a website called Obabytee.com. The image is of a baby Obama with a pacifier in his mouth. Go to the website because I couldn't copy the picture.

He Is Not Afraid Of Any Terrorist...You'll See Why

There is a boy from the south side of Toledo Ohio, who was born on September 11, 2001 right as the second plane hit the south tower. It is a little ironic when I decided to look up information on Pretty Boy Bam Bam and found out that he turned 7 today just as we are remembering the tragedies that occurred 7 years ago. Take a look at this little boy he is AMAZING!



I am sure that if he was in a fight with your kid, he would definitely win...lol

MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LOST LOVED ONES ON SEPT 11th, THAT DAY WILL FOREVER BE ETCHED IN MY MEMORY...I KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO LOOSE SOMEONE

$12,000 for a 1 Year Old's Birthday Party...Insane or Your Business?

Over the top birthday parties was a topic on Rachael Ray a few days ago and as I was watching I begin to think, "is it wrong or is it their own prerogative?" Of course a 1 year old will not remember the party so are we really doing it for our child or to compete with other parents? Take a look at the video and judge for yourself. Side note* ( I am throwing my son a party for his first birthday but it won't be 12 G's!)




Puma First Round X Deer for the Babies...Sweet


Had to post these, they are actually cute to me.



Not The Dopest Post but They Will Save Your Life!


Now I know that I have been posting a lot of cool finds and this post is a more practical one. My son was having a lot of issues with teething until I bought these tablets for him. They are all natural and you can buy them at any CVS. All you do is put the tablets (three of them) under the tongue and they dissolve and provide relief to your baby. I had been using oral gel and it would work for a little but these tablets have been a life saver for me.

I am really enjoying being a mom but this teething thing is wearing me out! My son always has his hand in his mouth and he drools on all his clothes and I can't wait until this stage is over. Actually I just had to check myself because I was just reading a book by Susan Taylor and she was talking about living in the present moment so I am re-phrasing what I just said, "I am embracing the teething and enjoying my son being a baby." There are so many times when we as mothers (or people period) rush life and we look up and our children are grown and all we did was blink. Savor each moment and when the present moment gets to tough, give the baby some teething tablets...lol.

Saks Fifth Ave Finds!

Saks Fifth Avenue has this stroller called the Quinny stroller which has neoprene fabric (this makes it superior in resistance to dirt and oils). It is not the most cost effective if you are trying to budget($550) but it's a stroller that will last and it also has a reversible seat. It comes in orange, pink, turquoise and black.

There is a woman's line called Felix Rey that came on the scene in 2001. When I looked on their website they had some fashionable arm wear for women. Below is a diaper bag with leopard print that is fashionable and functional. The days of carrying a diaper bag and a purse are over! For all the people who thought that the GUCCI diaper bag was too expensive this one is only $350. Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and J-Lo have been spotted wearing Felix Rey (For those of you who pick designers based on that).




There is also a stroller called the Bugaboo Cameleon which is a travel system that allows babies to either face mommy or the world. You will drop a cool $800 for it though. The material is nylon and is machine washable.

BRINGING SEXY BACK! Mommy In The Street Freak In The Sheets

There is this new all natural drug out there moms that is said to increase sexual desire. The drug is called Zestra(it sounds freaky...lol) and it is a blend of two botanical oils that stimulate the bodies sensory nerve endings and increases sensation. Now I can't say whether or not I've tried it(I'll never put myself out there) but when the doctor was on the Rachel Ray show it did grab my attention...lol. Being a new mom is wonderful but there are times when you are not in the mood and being sexy comes secondary to feeding, diapering etc. Take a look at the video below.

Ghetto Girls Taking Over Baby Phat!!

I was searching on the Macy's website for sales and I ran across this Baby Phat jacket for little girls and it is BANGING!! Most people who know me know that I absolutely hate the fact that Baby Phat has been devoured by the GHETTO girls. I've been seeing too many Baby Phat tattoo's on not so good looking backs and the picture below is a prime example of why I don't wear Baby Phat.



I know Kimora would be so upset if she saw this mess! I like Kimora and she always looks fierce but the above photo doesn't represent her line well at all. Here is a picture of the jacket I was telling you about just to take your mind off of the photo. I also added another picture under it of a leggings outfit that is nice for a little girl as well.

Baby Comes Back to Life?

This is the most AMAZING thing I've read all week. An Israeli baby who was born at 23 weeks(normal pregnancy is 40 weeks) and was pronounced dead by doctors and then placed in a refrigerator to store for the burial. The parents picked the baby up for the burial and noticed that the baby was moving. The baby grasped her mothers hand and began to open her mouth. Here is the story that I copied from babycenter.com:

"Stillborn" baby lives after hours in cooler

Mon, Aug 18, 2008 (Reuters) — A stillborn Israeli baby who was pronounced dead by doctors "came back to life" on Monday after spending hours in a hospital refrigerator.

The baby, weighing only 600 grams at birth, spent at least five hours inside one of the hospital's refrigerated storage units, before her parents, who had taken her to be buried, began noticing some movement.

"We unwrapped her and felt she was moving. We didn't believe it at first. Then she began holding my mother's hand, and then we saw her open her mouth," said 26-year-old Faiza Magdoub, the baby's mother.

The baby was pronounced dead several hours earlier, after doctors at Western Galilee hospital in northern Israel were forced to abort her mother's pregnancy because of internal bleeding. Magdoub was 23 weeks into her pregnancy.

"We don't know how to explain this, so when we don't know how to explain things in the medical world we call it a miracle, and this is probably what happened," hospital deputy director Moshe Daniel said.

The baby was then taken to the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit for further treatment, but doctors were not sure how long she will live.

Motti Ravid, a professor of internal medicine, told Israel's Channel 10 that the low temperature inside the cooler had slowed down the baby's metabolism and likely helped her survive.


-- Reuters

This story really made me feel good and assured me that God is still performing miracles. I lost a child before so I know that the mother is in SHOCK right now but thanking God all at the same time. I had to post this story. (Say a prayer for the baby she is facing a long road ahead of her)

900$ for a GUCCI Diaper Bag!!




I have been wanting this bag every since I found out I was pregnant and even when I had the money I would feel soooo guilty about actually buying it. My diaper bag now cost $60 from Babies R Us and they get dirty so fast that you have to constantly replace them. I couldn't imagine paying 900$ for a diaper bag and spilling milk or juice in it. Below are pictures of the bag in black and tan (ebony).

So if you are ever feeling "bossy" go ahead and do it and I guarantee heads will turn and people will think you are the coolest mom. Some mom's may actually hate and wonder why you would pay so much on a diaper bag and if they say something then you tell them this "Haters get your paper and leave me alone...lol (line from Octane).

I am going to get this bag, I need to hurry up though because my son is almost one. So if you see me carrying it and he's five just know that it was $900 and I will be carrying it for a while...lol

Gucci also has these adorable lace up sneakers with the signature web and some white slip-on loafers that are too fresh. The sneakers are $195 and the loafers are $245 Get your weight up and go buy them ( I am trying to get my weight up).



I really like quality items for my child and even though I get quality stuff for cheap at places like Children's' Place, Nordstroms's Rack and Macy's all the time I do like to dream big and one day I will walk into a store and get whatever I want just because I like it and the price won't be an obstacle.
