Whether it’s a surprise or the next step in the plan right on schedule, the news that you’re expecting a baby is always a big deal. As much as you may want to jump on the phone and call 25 of your closest friends and family immediately, resist temptation. Waiting and surprising everyone with an unexpected announcement is so much more fun. It's been a while that I've written but I have a pretty good excuse... I've been sick and super duper tired. We are expecting baby # 2! So now that I am feeling better I thought I would share with you how I decided to share the great news with family and friends on Social Media. <br />
<br />
I knew I wanted to do something different so I starting surfing the internet for super cute, creative ways to announce the good news. I quickly found thousands of picture announcements. I especially loved the announcements that included an older sibling since Ari will be a big sister. Then, I realized that I wanted to make a video that included at least two pictures because I could not make a decision. Also, I have recently had a huge obsession with making videos. I decided that I would make a video that walk down memory lane of how the hubby and I met, got engaged, married and then added little ones into our life. <br />
<br />
The video came out super cute and I had a great response that many people loved it as well. I also really enjoy watching the video and watching the hubby's and I huge milestones. This will be a great video to show the kids when they are older. <br />
<br />
Here is the video!<br />

I am a planner, so for the last few months I have research and planned what her big girl room would look like. I know for sure that I wanted to stay away from Characters as the infatuation usually only last a few months. Currently, she is in love with Frozen and I just could not possibly give in to having a Frozen room. I think many mothers out there will agree that we are over Frozen (Love the movie!). So here is a quick preview of the progress so far. I will write a detail post when the room is completely finished. <br>

When Ari was a baby I always took hundreds of pictures of her. Anytime she had on a pretty outfit or was playing with something I was there with my camera taking pictures. Then... she became mobile and all that, quickly ended. Taking photographs became a very frustrating task and she was super FAST. Therefore, the picture dwindled and I mainly left the photography job to the professionals. Now, Ari is almost three and she is still very fast but I can now convince her to take a picture by telling her we can go see her best friend Kennedy. This past Sunday, I scheduled our family yearly photos with Amy our photographer. I had it all planned. Two beautiful dresses for my little princess, daddy's bow ties and even mommy had matching dresses. Sunday morning, was not the day I planned for. Ari was in a horrible mood, it was raining, my shoes were very uncomfortable and daddy had to work earlier than expected. Let's just say our photo shoot did not turn out great. I haven't seen the pictures yet so we will see if Amy was even able to get a great photo. After coming home from our very frustrating photo shoot, Ari took a long nap and when she woke up I decided that the super cute dress would not go to waste. I decided to do my own photo shoot in my backyards. To my surprise my photo shoot went surprisingly well and the pictures came out adorable. I realized that day, that my photography skills are getting better. I always talk about taking a professional photography class to learn all of the "official" things about my camera but then life happens. In the meantime, I research, go to Pinterest and watch videos and this has made a difference so far. Now, I really need to take a class! In the meantime, I share with you the photos from our shoot. They are not edited at all so tell me what you think.<br />

Lately, it seems like everyone is having a holiday Giveaway. At first I
remember thinking this is silly and that I would never win anything. Then....
viola I won! Jennifer from <a href="http://www.babymakingmachine.com/"><span style="color: blue;">www.babymakingmachine.com</span></a>
shared a blog about her current reading list and the new tablet the Samsung
Galaxy Tab Nook 4 that she used to get a lot of the reading done and then to
top it off she was having a giveaway for the tablet to one of her
readers. I was shocked to get the email from her stating that I won. Instantly,
I became excited to have a new toy to play with since I am an avid reader. I
was also excited about some of the features that it provided like parental
control since my two year old is into electronics and manages to find all of
the things that you do not want her to find.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
A week later it was here and I immediately fell in love with my new Samsung
Galaxy Tab 4 Nook.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
The Galaxy Tab 4 Nook, is basically a repackaged version of the existing
Galaxy Tab 4 7.0. Well, almost, the 7-inch tablets comes pre-loaded with $200
worth of free content, and the core Nook offers a better reading experience
than the regular Nook Android app. If you would like more information about
this tablet you can go to <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/samsung-galaxy-tab-4-nook-tablet/379004262?r=1&utm_source=bing&cm_mmc=bing-_-NOOK%20eReader%20and%20Tablet-_-Samsung%20Galaxy%20Tab%204-_-%5bkeyword%5d&pkw=samsung+galaxy+tab+4&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=samsung+galaxy+tab+4&utm_campaign=NOOK%20eReader%20and%20Tablet&pmt=p" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Barnes& Noble</span></a>. I just wanted to share my favorite thing
about the tablet so far (I am sure I will find many other things I love).<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<br />
Since I have a two year old, I have to share everything with her. My daughter
and I love to read so immediately I began to download books that my daughter
would love (Frozen of course). To my surprise many of the books had multiple
options: Read By Myself, Read to Me & Read and Record. Pretty cool, mommy
doesn't even have to read some of the books. However, the last option in my
opinion is the coolest option. You can actually record yourself or anyone in
your family reading the books. Since most of our family is out of town this was
a great option. Ari could be read to by her grandparents who are all out of
town, aunt and uncles or even my husband and I when we are busy. Ari got a kick
out of my first recording and even though I thought I sounded funny she
didn't seem to mind at all. The best part was how easy it was to do that even
my two year old could do it. I cannot wait until she actually begins to read
because I will then record her cute little voice reading her first book and
keep it a great memory. <br />

Teaching your child to love to read will payoff in the long run. As a Reading Coach, my job is to provide teacher with support and professionally development in literacy. My job is to grow teachers professionally. However, the biggest lesson I've learned about literacy was when I had my daughter. I knew that reading to my child was important. To my surprise I began to see the payoff earlier than I could have ever imagined. At one years old, Ari knew concept of prints. She understood that a reader read a book left to right, she could identify the front & back cover, where the authors name could be found and that the book had words and that readers read with intonation. At two, she began retelling her favorite books and even began to pretend as though she was reading the book. Now at 2 1/2 she already can recognize 17 letters and 5 letter sounds and recognizes all of the letters in her name. Let me remind you that she is 2! The craziest part is that I did not do any magical program, or worked with her non stop (she doesn't like it when I try to teach her anything) we just simply read to her every night no matter what. Even my husband who is not a big fan of reading reads to her about 3 books a night. So the big secret for literacy success is the exposure to books early on. </span></div>

I love to see her excitement for books! Many people assume that she is capable of doing so much because her mom is a reading coach but in reality I do not do anything extra I promise. I just read daily and make sure that she is expose to as many books as possible. This is the best thing you can do for your kids and it's absolutely free! </span></div>

While reading online I came across a few super cute videos of children answering questions that their parents asked. Some parents asked the same questions year after year to document how answer vary as the little one grow up. Well, this week I got the idea to do an interview with Ari since she is talking a little bit more now. She is such a silly little girl that I just knew this video will be tons of fun to watch when she is 15 (lol). <br />
<br />
I quickly googled free site to edit and I found My Stupeflix.com a quick and simple website that allows you to edit and make videos for free. It took me 20 minutes to develop this super cute video of Ari answering some super simple questions (Remember she is only 2!).<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

The hubby has a good friend that just relocated to Texas so we decided to take a trip to visit their beautiful new home and spend some time with them. They were great hostesses and planned a number of events for the 4 days we were in town. But I must admit my favorite event was the drive in zoo. Whoever invented this was a genius! Basically, you drive around the zoo and the many animals would come up to the car and you could feed them. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QxNQQHc0oE5tjRN0AnYecufgrahtKsmpriyNl6BxGfPD8HUP4y7Tu4w70ydXvHv3q7TRaj0Y7zxuAaUDKzwH4ZWLOeoziYPvSwprtUL4zubahbQA_uQRdbSU3XZrQgio78hewOR-C_k/s640/blogger-image--972250290.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1QxNQQHc0oE5tjRN0AnYecufgrahtKsmpriyNl6BxGfPD8HUP4y7Tu4w70ydXvHv3q7TRaj0Y7zxuAaUDKzwH4ZWLOeoziYPvSwprtUL4zubahbQA_uQRdbSU3XZrQgio78hewOR-C_k/s640/blogger-image--972250290.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Ari loved the animals and she was not scared at all!

It's been 2 weeks of dance camp and I thought I would provide an update on how little Ari is doing. I was very worried that little Ari would not participate since she tends to be shy at first but to my surprise she is doing better than I expected. Now that does not mean perfect lol! Last Wednesday she refused to do anything for the first 15 minutes but hen she warmed up and did great the rest of the time. She actually loves the technical part of the dance and is not a big fan of the silly parts. Overall she is doing great for a two year old. I love to see her try new things and learn new things!<br />

Her class is Tiny Ballerinas two and three year olds. Once again I had a difficult time locating a leotard that fits because of little Ari's petite body. Finally, I purchased one on Ebay and it came in today and fit perfectly so she didn't need to wear an oversize one since the smallest Danskin comes in is 2/3 which is way to big if your daughter still wears 18 months. I am thinking that hopefully by Christmas we will reach the 2/3 sizes. <br>

Before we headed out to class I decided to take some pictures with the super adorable book that her God Mother Stacy gave her. The super cute book explain all of the different position in ballet and also what to wear. It was an absolutely perfect gift!<br>
<br>
The first day of Dance camp was a bit scary for Ari. Since it's summer camp the classes are way larger than the typical classes. Therefore, as we arrived over a dozen mini ballerinas and their super excited parents were in the studio. I believe this was a huge shock for Ari because she shut down and immediately wanted me to pick her up. She refused to participate or even get down for a while. Eventually, she began to feel a little comfortable and I think she began to see how much fun the other little ballerinas were having that she started participating. Then they began playing Let it Go in the studio and by then she was fully engaged. It was super cute to see how focus she was towards the end. I hope that she gets excited about dance classes and Wednesday is not so much of a shock for her. Either way, mommy had a great time dressing her up and watching my little princess take her first dance class even if for the majority she didn't participate. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpYjSHSbLBNPBK65NhfXQXvKdtZRAXPXEgLy-sY50kGcUa26DUFDoABvn1tN4Xx5W3Aj_ZQGwBLjWzhsbZZ4k0kzYFERaSzozl16oBwhjW1YkKmul07HFZdpRAyt9KU8wHmyqmJ8EChOI/s640/blogger-image-1034172546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpYjSHSbLBNPBK65NhfXQXvKdtZRAXPXEgLy-sY50kGcUa26DUFDoABvn1tN4Xx5W3Aj_ZQGwBLjWzhsbZZ4k0kzYFERaSzozl16oBwhjW1YkKmul07HFZdpRAyt9KU8wHmyqmJ8EChOI/s640/blogger-image-1034172546.jpg"></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSEezXlePK5L7l5zG2X5rlY3EbC4uKThcHZ-V7qJOi8ILWRG1nizl_HdzG8dsmZctCpkCE20sdKKk3hLLz6o1vqai6arG-2IuJWuJFxperz1IlSWxMcjfdVAtMjdn-OuVEu09D-KlSDog/s640/blogger-image--1734201348.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSEezXlePK5L7l5zG2X5rlY3EbC4uKThcHZ-V7qJOi8ILWRG1nizl_HdzG8dsmZctCpkCE20sdKKk3hLLz6o1vqai6arG-2IuJWuJFxperz1IlSWxMcjfdVAtMjdn-OuVEu09D-KlSDog/s640/blogger-image--1734201348.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQbgHmKWjWNQsgAgdGXfCahkZ6IsnkXITCETIVAZGhkJKeBkmyFmy_caDQgVOORaa9OiUsZsZ2UiiTVuVhEyq0ixJH-08eut0xUIQVsHr0JkRi5Bb3bMIHaYReQUWTZOueeFQ07s8y3Y/s640/blogger-image-1959925737.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJQbgHmKWjWNQsgAgdGXfCahkZ6IsnkXITCETIVAZGhkJKeBkmyFmy_caDQgVOORaa9OiUsZsZ2UiiTVuVhEyq0ixJH-08eut0xUIQVsHr0JkRi5Bb3bMIHaYReQUWTZOueeFQ07s8y3Y/s640/blogger-image-1959925737.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYDOXYgPTThTUw8mCYDpb-phU9ExCzfLVYt4GClsfc26OBAAJAWzs39XUQ_Vxq8a_hXmsJ0mP9fa3OknSZDctHKJ5lHK8Fr0OgYzte0_UlUzVvraecfaQEJw4MrP88aD-8fSY1m_mGkI/s640/blogger-image-1607610123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLYDOXYgPTThTUw8mCYDpb-phU9ExCzfLVYt4GClsfc26OBAAJAWzs39XUQ_Vxq8a_hXmsJ0mP9fa3OknSZDctHKJ5lHK8Fr0OgYzte0_UlUzVvraecfaQEJw4MrP88aD-8fSY1m_mGkI/s640/blogger-image-1607610123.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Lifescynsationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01886384681905302735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4876775673278048521.post-1381108558218011502014-07-07T11:58:00.001-07:002014-07-07T12:12:03.746-07:00A Late 4th of July Post!<div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXc0ROtTX-gJmrsCjjGlATH991jKEFF7wQ1ttRL5q9oAyiHDWhYH4WbjwSS7vbbMyME46yfkZ1m-a8uxnODB8oFun2VmIUjlJxMBHfAwuLuLCXFYfgjG1GjAdevhRrmaSyVa6J7xb8W8/s640/blogger-image--612334246.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiXc0ROtTX-gJmrsCjjGlATH991jKEFF7wQ1ttRL5q9oAyiHDWhYH4WbjwSS7vbbMyME46yfkZ1m-a8uxnODB8oFun2VmIUjlJxMBHfAwuLuLCXFYfgjG1GjAdevhRrmaSyVa6J7xb8W8/s640/blogger-image--612334246.jpg"></a></div>All weekend I wanted to write a post but with all of the festivities and things I had going on this weekend time just pass me by. On Friday, I decided to do a photo shoot with little Ari wearing her 4th of July outfit. Apparently, this is a tradition that I started unknowingly. However, my favorite pictures of little Ari were taken on the 4th so I thought I would go for a 3rd and once again I am in love with her photos. Her adorable dress was purchased last year at an after 4th of July Clearance and it only cost me $3 at Burlington. Everyone loved it and I've received many compliments on the dress. A friend even asked if I purchased the dress at a boutique. Burlington has super cute clothes it just depends on the time of year and the size the kiddos wear. So check them out if you have one in your area. <br>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Father's Day is around the corner and I could not figure out what to get the hubby. I looked on Pinterest and got a few ideas but yet nothing that I thought would be creative and fun. I wanted something that Ari could be part of. Then it came to me... since my hubby loves his ties and bow ties I thought I would do a photo shoot with Ari wearing his tie and bow tie. (This turned out to be way too much fun). My plan is to edit the pictures and make a super cool collage and save it to his screen saver so when he opens up his laptop he will get to see the cool pictures. Then of course I needed some assistance with the tie and bow ties so his best friend Andero stopped by to lend a hand (he is great). The pictures came out cuter than I expected and was very inexpensive the letters were purchased at Michaels for $2.99. Everything else was straight from the hubby's closet. Of course the hubby will get something as a gift but this I think is the best gift of all! </span><br>

Lately, I heard of a few bloggers who run into trouble with strangers using their child's photo as their own. Therefore, a friend caution me to make sure that I put my logo on my photographs. I started doing my research and found a super easy way to edit and add a logo or text to any photographs. I ended using Ipiccy.com a super easy site that will take a matter of minutes to edit your photo exactly how you want it. So I decided to do a tutorial to help anyone else that would like to add a logo to their photos. Even if you do not have a blog but have your precious pictures on the internet this tutorial may be very beneficial. The first thing you will need to do is either make a logo or buy one. Make sure that your logo is a PNG file. I purchased one since its the end of the school year and I do not have time to play and make my own (maybe at a later time I will make my own). I purchased a logo for $5 on ETSY and it was made and delivered within 24 hours. <br />
<br />
Ok so let's get started...<br />
<br />
1. First thing you need to do is register on the ipiccy.com website. (It's free!) <br />
<br />
2. Click on upload photos. Select the photos that you would like to add. If you would like to add more than one photo click the ctrl key on your keyboard. Also make sure to click on the PNG files (logo) that you would like to add to your photograph. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
3. Click the first photo that you want to edit and hover over it with your mouse. You will notice that it will have a blue highlight around it. On the bottom right corner you will see a button and you will click it. Then 3 options will come up and you will click on EDIT. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOI_jFInvE4aD2ywHXRaILhh9ald3dwtp7lPjfcUtWbJibiFrd9rBB8aP3Y-f7vLCCfAZrKW6xaUN8l5S9azAVbAtDuuwN-sbPEm7Z3MfAI1xAawbHzlg5w9FWXVGdS_Q_3aQou-NuwY/s1600/step+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLOI_jFInvE4aD2ywHXRaILhh9ald3dwtp7lPjfcUtWbJibiFrd9rBB8aP3Y-f7vLCCfAZrKW6xaUN8l5S9azAVbAtDuuwN-sbPEm7Z3MfAI1xAawbHzlg5w9FWXVGdS_Q_3aQou-NuwY/s1600/step+3.png" height="356" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
4. At this point you can also do any additional editing that you would like to do to your photos such as framing, adjusting colors, etc. When you are ready to add your logo click on the blend tab on the top toolbar. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFUOo7Y_2ylGC8SVkEmax6jZNR5yHYx0fro6O7TmOggfx_iVFPCcyhkYseJLGZyWUAxlvQ9c9sNOBA5QLPCY-lBwtoLxQF_VMs41asDMR_NpSUIriJqwoDjNXF0BBdN3P4ZtdnYu73GU/s1600/step+4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPFUOo7Y_2ylGC8SVkEmax6jZNR5yHYx0fro6O7TmOggfx_iVFPCcyhkYseJLGZyWUAxlvQ9c9sNOBA5QLPCY-lBwtoLxQF_VMs41asDMR_NpSUIriJqwoDjNXF0BBdN3P4ZtdnYu73GU/s1600/step+4.png" height="356" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
5. Now you will go to the second toolbar and click on the photo icon. A sidebar will appear on your left with all the photos and images you have uploaded. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUXglfD2PBMXc22X2Byrbj2_YKmL2uhyphenhyphenfbFPRzBRkmbtWGw3iXXZfC1aBfqMxqxBf2rfasYprahI1k-Emxmti_2e5GbFLOpjGlrfwwQCsQCq_75qnKT9TGDb-2UnchHo0Pj3q1pDTmO4/s1600/step+5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvUXglfD2PBMXc22X2Byrbj2_YKmL2uhyphenhyphenfbFPRzBRkmbtWGw3iXXZfC1aBfqMxqxBf2rfasYprahI1k-Emxmti_2e5GbFLOpjGlrfwwQCsQCq_75qnKT9TGDb-2UnchHo0Pj3q1pDTmO4/s1600/step+5.png" height="356" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
6. No click on your logo which should be located on the sidebar and continue holding down your mouse button while you drag the logo and place anywhere on your photo. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This morning Ari saw the camera and started saying, "Mommy picture..cheeseeeee!" Immediately, I began to smile because at the young age of two she is ready to pose and smile for the camera. Therefore, what is a mommy supposed to do? Get the camera and run before she changes her mind. Her hair was already done and I already knew the perfect cute outfit to use for the photo shoot since I've been dying to take a picture using this outfit since I bought it. Here is the super cute pictures from our photo shoot this morning. <br />

I must admit that as Ari continue to grow and become her own person, Mother's Day becomes that much more special. I absolutely love being a mommy. Growing up,I always knew I wanted to have children but never did I imagine how special I would feel to have a little person calling me mommy and sharing all her love with me. This year for Mother's Day I decided to begin vlogging since Ari is beginning to have conversations with us. I figured that I will continue to video record her and see how her responses change from year to year. This year I tried to keep it simple with two questions: 1. Do you love mommy? and 2. Who is your mommy? (Let me remind you that she just turned 2). To my surprise her response to number one was "yup" and her response to number two was "doggie." Yup mommy apparently is a doggy. However, she is so darn cute that I could not keep from laughing and decided to keep the footage. When she gets older I can use it against her (lol). <br />

I am extremely thankful for my mother because even though she is not biologically my mother her influence has truly help shape me into the mom I am today to my daughter. One relationship which is always with us is the one we share with our mothers. They are our guiding force and are responsible for making us who we are. Mothers also shape our lives and our personalities and crediting them for the same is something one should do at every opportunity.</div>

Easter 2014 was pretty fun I must admit. Ari actually got to hunt for eggs and she really did enjoy the egg hunting. Easter kind of crept on me and I was not quite prepare for it. Originally, I wanted to plan a super cute Easter egg hunt for my close friends and I. My hopes were to start new traditions that could be completed year after year. However, do to a lot going on it completely passed me by and I decided to search for other Egg hunts to attend. The first egg hunt that we attended was done by a recreational center. They had super cute games to play, face painting, bounce houses and of course the Egg hunt. I really loved that their egg hunts were divided by age groups so Ari was in the 0-2 egg hunt. This turned out great because it was her first egg hunt and at first she didn't quite understood why everyone was running but quickly she got into it. <br />

<br />
On Easter my friend Tamasha and I made big plans to attend one of the biggest Easter celebrations in our area but it was not what we planned. First, we were late and completely missed the egg hunt and then, the lines were super long to the point that we only go to participate in a few activities. So... we ended coming home and having our own little egg hunt at my friends house. After our adventure, we decided that we will start this tradition and next year instead of trying to find other egg hunts we will have our own. The funny part is that we went right after Easter and purchased a bunch of eggs and goodies on clearance to use next year. I think a nice Easter brunch in our preparation will be nice as well. I am super excited for next year!<br />
<br />
Here are some of my ideas so far:<br />
<br />
1. Egg Hunt<br />
2. Host an Easter Brunch<br />
3. Record Family Dyeing Eggs<br />
4. Create Easter Arts and Crafts<br />
5. Snapping lots of pictures of course!<br />

Last year's letter was sweet and very emotional because my baby was no longer a baby. This year I wanted to celebrate all of Ari's accomplishment. It is my hopes that as an adult she can read all of my letters and get a glimpse on how loved she is.<br />

My Little Arianna,<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today you are two. <em>Two!</em> It’s unbelievable to think just two years ago you graced us with your presence. Honestly, I can’t even remember much of life before you because you are my entire life now and I can’t imagine ever being apart from you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The past year has been crazy for you I can imagine. You have learned SO much, made lots of new friends, you moved to a new school, got rid of the paci, moved to a toddler bed and managed not to be disturbed one bit. You are becoming a little girl. You play pretend, laugh while singing your ABCs, dance to any sound of music, call every color ‘orange’ and you make faces to ham it up and make daddy and I laugh. You are obsessed with Dora and go into a dance whenever you hear the Dora theme song (even Daddy and I have memorized the song). It has gotten to the point that I try to avoid Dora at the stores because I know that you will immediately run to it screaming..."DORA." </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But, you still love to give us hugs and kisses and I love to cuddle with you. I love that at night while you are watching your favorite show-Dora you enjoying cuddling with your daddy and I. Whenever you are near I breathe in the your sweet smell and vow to never forget these precious moments. Nearly daily, my eyes well with tears due to the awareness of how fast you’re growing. I apologize in advance for being “that mom” who cries at every school play and dance recital. I also apologize for being "that mom" that will go to school and make a complaint whenever I feel that the best is not being done to meet your needs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Your language development has been astounding. Each day you amaze us with some new word of phrase. Your passion for books and reading is evidently helping. We giggle as you talk in true two-year-old fashion, and are so focus on getting your message across. Some of your other favorite phrases include: “That's not nice”, ”Hold it mommy” and ”My turn.” But the biggest heart-melter is how you’ve figured out how to say “I love you” and use it in context. When you look me in the eyes and say it, I turn into a little puddle of mush. I remember the first time you said I love you I could not even hold my tears from coming down. I hope you continue to keep such intense love for life in your heart as you grow into an adult.You also are starting to love to say “Mine.” Apparently, everything in our home belongs to you. I have to continue to remind you that I bought it so technically everything is ours (lol).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Watching the joy you have brought to your grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles and even the family that is not blood but will do anything for you (our friends) has been so rewarding, too. You are SO incredibly loved by every single person who encounters you, and each leaves you happier than when they came. You are an abundant ray of sunshine; please keep sharing it with others.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I hope this year continues to fill you with happiness and that you continue to learn and grow from all the blessings that surround us. Thanks for continuing to show daddy and I how to really live. Through fun, laughter and your zest for life that is absolutely contagious. Continue being this intelligent, independent and sassy little gal and I have no doubt you will grow with the strength to move mountains! Mommy is so very proud of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love you forever, Thanks for being the best gift I’ve ever received.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hugs & Kisses,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mommy</div>

I cannot believe that my little baby girl is officially 2 years old. Times flies! Even though I think I am beginning to get baby fever I am pleasantly ok with just enjoying watching my little diva grow into such a remarkable little girl. Now that things have settled a bit and I am enjoying my spring break I have time to give an update on Ari's 2nd birthday party. Overall, I am pleased with the turnout of little Ari's birthday party. This year I wanted for the hubby and I to truly enjoy the day with our baby girl and also with our guest. Therefore, we decided to go with Monkey Bizznes a local in door playground that with a fee could be rented out. It was such an organized celebration and the hubby <br />
and I got to truly enjoy the festivities!!! For the first hour the kids (and adults) played their little hearts out and the second hour we went to eat pizza and sing Happy Birthday to my precious little Ari. After a week of practicing how to blow a candle Ari was successful at blowing her own birthday candle. She truly enjoyed the fact that everyone was singing happy birthday to her...she loved the attention. <br />

Also, the only princess that really took a part in the show was Sophia the 1st. Cinderella was on stage for for maybe a minute. Besides that the show was super cute and cannot wait for our next show. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP729zsfkfzg6g7bCFCr2koSyZU_N5PIMrWmH0zwA4kD0lRHqTic1SvqiUq_NlKhScQW379ov3j0NqEWNB0g71_H2uCxPeGSQrEeaOmNVEhwsqbqaZeJfTnNjbWIyhMYEStSMsTKBwy34/s640/blogger-image--260878758.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP729zsfkfzg6g7bCFCr2koSyZU_N5PIMrWmH0zwA4kD0lRHqTic1SvqiUq_NlKhScQW379ov3j0NqEWNB0g71_H2uCxPeGSQrEeaOmNVEhwsqbqaZeJfTnNjbWIyhMYEStSMsTKBwy34/s640/blogger-image--260878758.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Afterwards we tried to take a picture of four 2 year olds... that was almost impossible (lol). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99MiIcH-mJCWa7njYD5IzAiEiMa0uH-CsxEn7ivujIi27yda92oodofA51EX2v5QDiAIFGFvMLPHwZBdjId1fYb7R67q4VbkBPwz3UxUmjpGQQyOVKAHOxFLOhihTYc2CmsFI_bKBuMk/s640/blogger-image-1169071636.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh99MiIcH-mJCWa7njYD5IzAiEiMa0uH-CsxEn7ivujIi27yda92oodofA51EX2v5QDiAIFGFvMLPHwZBdjId1fYb7R67q4VbkBPwz3UxUmjpGQQyOVKAHOxFLOhihTYc2CmsFI_bKBuMk/s640/blogger-image-1169071636.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Fun times!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Having Ari has definitely ignited my creativity and need for new "toys" to accomplish my long list of DIY projects. My older sister is super crafty and I figured I could follow in her footsteps. A few weekends ago I attended a friend's baby shower. Her mom always plans all of the parties and for good reason she is super creative and all of the parties come out adorable. I finally decided to ask what machine she used to make her banners and cupcake toppers and she told me she used the <span class="a-size-large" id="productTitle">Sizzix Big Shot Cutting and Embossing Roller Style Scrapbooking Die-Cut Machine. Of course I needed the machine because Ari's birthday is right around the corner and I rather make things than pay someone a lot of money for it. </span></div>

My <span class="a-size-large" id="productTitle">Sizzix Big Shot Cutting and Embossing Roller Style Scrapbooking Die-Cut Machine</span> just arrived and I could not wait to start working on Ari's birthday party DIY projects. This machine is of high quality.
The Big Shot has clear, simple instructions for use. One can purchase a variety
of embossing and die cutting tools to use with this unit, not only Sizzix brand. I loved the fact that the die cutting "framelits" tools are around $10 which is not bad considering other machines will cost over $50. I purchased the Framelits 8 Die Set, Circles to be able to make the cupcake toppers and a cute banner for the cake table. This Big Shot came with the multi purpose extended platform, which is excellent
for everything from the Framelits to the large dies and embossing, etc. I love
this machine and I am so glad I decided on this one to get. Now I can do plenty of DIY projects for my little one and also for friends. I love it so much that Ari's cupcake toppers are completed and they came out super cute!</div>
