Where did I go?????

Well- to say it is has been a long time would be an understatement!! However, I do have a very good explanation... :) We have been launching a new, and might I say very cool business.... it is called I.D. ink and the short story is that it is temporary tattoos to keep kids safe... very fun, funky, not "clip-arty" designs that kids will want to wear and you get to put your cell number on them so if you lose your child- you can be connected with them much faster!! I know you are dying to check it out.... so click HERE.... oh and did I mention it is all FDA approved... so cool!
Oh and hit us up on twitter for special deals.... @myidink
And on facebook at My I.D. ink....

Referee....

So the girls and I are in Rochester, NY visiting Glen- which of course means that we are again back in the studio apartment that the 4 of us share. I do my very best to make sure we are in there as little as possible because otherwise we go crazy. I am beginning to wonder why it is that when my kids were little I couldn't wait until they were old enough to play together.... WHAT WAS I THINKING???? I feel like I am constantly yelling "Stop hitting your sister! Share! Take turns! Give it back!" AHHHH!!!! It is kind of like running- some days go well and some days go well and others go terribly bad but you have to battle through (that was my run today by the way!)... some times they are so sweet to one another and play so nicely- then out of the blue (and usually it is Lyla who starts it with a litte sh*t grin on her face) there is tears and "MOM! She bit me! or hit, or punched, or pushed!".... and then you spend the rest of the day with them trying to even the score with one another- and you are the referee...all day... every day... and it leaves me wondering if they will ever get along... but I already know the answer to that... they are sisters after all... this stuff never ends :)

Plan B....

Well- I think it is affirmative that I am terrible as this whole blogging thing.... I am on top of it for a week or two and then I fall off the face of the earth for a month. Sometimes I feel like thats how life is though... I am thankful to all of you who bear with me. :)
On the Cakes & Beans front- I am in 2 new stores- Patina in several locations in MN, and Celebrity Kids in Fort Myers, FL. Stay tuned because more locations may be coming! :)
I am hoping to get into actually designing a kids clothing line- but to be honest I havent the foggy-est idea of where to start- i have the ideas but I need someone to bring them to life... any takers??? Or anyone who knows someone i can talk to??
And now- about my title- I am currently reading a book that I swear was written just for me and is changing my life... it is called Plan B by Pete Wilson. I think everyone at some point in there life thought that some part of their life was going to go one when and then it went the complete opposite, or one day you were just blindsided by something that shook you to your core. This book is all about what to do when God doesnt show up in the way you thought he would, when his plan and yours do no coincide. It is an AMAZING AMAZING book... everyone should read it!
Lots of love!
