Time for a little change

So, I decided that with the changing of the seasons (and fall being one of my favorite seasons) that I would revamp my baby boutique (http://theemmaline.etsy.com) a bit. You should definitely go check it out because I also happen to be having a sale right now! Halloween is coming soooo fast and I still have a few Halloween goodies listed! I gotta get them out of here...so go! Run! Check it out! Quick! Before they're all gone!

You've got to check out this bag! Isn't it adorable??? I just bought it for a friend of mine for her birthday and I was soooo tempted to get one for myself too. I love that it's not a diaper bag but can still hold a sippy cup...and that it has room for EVERYTHING else that a mom needs to carry!

The seller, Colette, from http://bagsbycolette.etsy.com/ was absolutely amazing to work with. She replied to my email SO fast and got it shipped out to my friend in record time, even including a little birthday note for me!

My friend LOVED the bag and said she couldn't wait to use it!

Self restraint

Well, if you read my last post, you'll know that movie theater popcorn is my alltime fave. You'll also know that I'm going to AZ in a few short weeks and don't want to bring muffin tops with me.

Here's the real test...I'm going to the movies tonight. Will I or won't I?

Yikes....

Mmmm...Buttered Popcorn

So, one of my favorite foods is popcorn...all kinds...all flavors. I can't go to the movies without getting popcorn. Well, right now I might because I'm going to AZ in 5 weeks and I really don't want to go with muffin top or my theighs rubbing together...but I digress.

There is a factory near my house that makes spices, dry mixes, things like that. My absolute favorite thing is when I come out of my house in the morning and it smells like buttered popcorn outside! Oh, the first time I smelled it, I had to have some microwave popcorn that night! I don't know if they make the flavoring for microwave popcorn or the butter-flavored topping for the stuff at movie theaters but holy cow it smells good!

Birthday Shirts

Be sure to check out my Emmalicious line of Baby Gear...I'm going to start making custom birthday shirts! This was my daughter on her birthday last Monday. On the front is a sweet little appliqued cupcake with BDay Chic surrounding it and on the back is the number 5 (for her age) and the words Birthday Girl curved over the top of the five...like a jersey. It looked so cute and she got so many compliments on it!

In fact, my sister-in-law posted a pic of the shirt on her Facebook and one of her friends contacted me to order one for her daughter!

A surprise

So, I hate surprises. I know...it drives my hubby banana sandwich. I'm just too much of a control freak and surprises are rarely pulled off with great success and they just bug me. I can't help it. With that said, my husband and my BFF just pulled the surprise of my life off! Every year, we have a party at our place and it had just gotten underway and my hubby says, hey Lindz, someone came through the sliding door in the back. I turned around and saw someone that I haven't seen in about a year and was really excited to see him that I started to walk toward him. BJ (my hubby) grabbed my shoulders, turned me around and I saw my BFF!

Now, you may be thinking, great...it's your BFF. The thing is that, I haven't seen her in a year and a half because she lives in Arizona and I'm in Wisconsin! Well, I screamed and started crying and could barely believe who I was seeing. And, one of the best parts was the satisfied look on BJ's face because he actually pulled off a surprise...ON ME!!!

She's here for the whole week and we had just the most amazing day yesterday hanging out together. We had a total girly day. We took my 4 year old, Emma, to get her ears pierced (which she LOVED), had an awesome lunch together, took her to a movie and then got to enjoy some cocktails later in the day. It was absolutely perfect and I needed it so bad! When I got back to work today, I was able to focus and concentrate and actually get some good creative time in!

I can't wait to see her again tomorrow for the Brewer game and some tailgating!

Daisy Dreams

So, I'm totally lovin' on chocolate brown right now! I just did this cute note pad holder and I'm tempted to keep it for myself! I know...I don't need ANOTHER one...so I listed it. Go check it out!
