A Little Lamb
August 21, 2008 by
My grandson was baptized on Sunday. He was the perfect little angel the entire service. The christening set that I purchased for him was absolutley adorable. I didn’t win on the little knee socks to go with the outfit, my son-in-law refused to allow his son to wear knee socks, lol. During the service, I was worried that Xavier would start screaming when our pastor put the holy water on his head, but he just followed every move the pastor made and cooperated as if he knew exactly what was going on. He even extended his hand to the pastor after the service, it was so funny. My daughter was baptized in this church 29 years too, so being able to see him baptized here as well made the day even more special.
We ended the day with a delicious brunch after the service with a few family members and friends. The weather was beautiful. Xavier ended his special day by sticking his hands in the cake and enjoying the icing. That was his first taste of this creamy goodiness. The bakery did an excellent job with the cake. Not only was it beautiful, it was delicious.
My grandson, is truly a Lamb of God.

Fish Pedicure
August 16, 2008 by
Would you indulge in a Fish Pedicure? It’s the rage! I first saw the advertisement on CNN, and my first reaction was OMG who would let fish nibble at their feet. Shortly thereafter there was an article on the pedicure in our local newspaper. Over 5,000 people have tried Dr. Fish and the reviews are great. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, in Alexandria, VA, is offering this unique treatment as part of their pedicure. They are the only salon in the country to offer the treatment, which costs $35 for 15 minutes and $50 for 30 minutes. The technique originated in Turkey and moved to Asia.
The salon uses tiny carp to perform the dead skin extraction in place of razors and other traditional pedicure tools. Customers say it tickles, but its very relaxing and the carp leave the feet silky smooth. The carp are toothless, so their can be no harm to customer’s feet. One customer who is an athlete says it’s the first time that she’s ever had a pedicure and all of her callouses were completely removed. I’m telling you customers are swearing by this pedicure. The spa has more than 1,000 fish, with about 100 in each individual pedicure tank at any given time.
I can’t resist any longer, I’m going to make an appointment within the next two weeks and test out this technique. I’ll post about my experience, so stay tuned for my adventure with Dr. Fish.
Infant/Toddler T-Shirt Give Away

Check out the shirts created by Funny Tees. Betty at Funny Tees carries both children and adult t-shirts in a variety of styles and colors. Betty said, “I find it my calling in life to make people around the world laugh. I certainly giggle when someone buys a t-shirt that says “It took me 90 years to looks this good” and I would imagine that people laugh when that shirt is worn. I’ve always worn funny t-shirts & get a kick of the reaction from others. We all live such hurried, stressful lives that if we can make someone giggle it’s a blessing for us both”. These tees get 3 snaps, a booty shake, and the I’m The Boss tee will go into my Grandma bag.
Funny Tees offers funny shirts for everyone in a variety of categories including: Redneck/Texan, Holy, Childrens, World, and Battle of the Sexes. They make great gifts for birthdays, Christmas or just because they’re funny. We’re Giving Away the shirt pictured above to one of our lucky readers.

Home Of The Three Bears! This is actually a miniature house built in 1929 in my home town. It was built by the local college so student teachers could observe children playing. I used to play in it when I was a child. It contains 5 rooms, and measures 10 feet high by 9-1/2 feet wide, with 5 1/2 foot ceilings. Isn’t it adorable!
