Back to Back Fab

Life has been so crazy lately!  I feel like I need to play catch up here at le blog to let you guys know what's been going on. 

I had two pretty great weekends in a row.

May 4th I hopped on the train to NYC for one of my best high school friend's bachelorette parties.

Obviously this meant I needed a blow out...

Enjoying a deep conditioning treatment at Wayne Agassi Salon in Brooklyn, while my friends went to an exercise class...suckers!

The Finished Product
Brooklyn does a nice blow out!

Love these girls!
Dinner at Fig and Olive - Dancing at Von

Subway/Penn Station

It wouldn't be right to NOT get a slice of NYC pizza - definitely one of the things I miss the most.

This past weekend I rocked my best twenties fashion at Gatsby.

I think this is a good look for me...
Clearly I need to go to a Roaring Twenties theme party...
Somebody make that happen... ok? 

I loved it.
One of my favorite novels paired with one of my favorite directors.
What's not to love?

In between I had a yard sale and saw Les Miserables...

Life has been good:  busy, but good.  

This week proved challenging as well: my personal shopping business is busier than ever, I had two sick kids, a salon visit, Rochester A-List event, Dado fashion show, planned the first ever Rochester Blogger Network event, and still need to pack for next week.  Ah you know what they say - "eat when you're old, sleep when you're dead..."  Let's just hope this schedule doesn't kill me!  Ha! 

Off to Michigan next week for a return visit to Kaufman Children's Center for some intense therapy for my boys.  Not sure if I'll be able to sneak any blog time in or not... just going to have to play it by ear.  I do have a fab DIY beauty guest post lined up and will try to pop in at least once... stay tuned!

A Place to Play

Disclaimer:  this post has nothing to do with fashion.

It has everything to do with building a safe, functional playground for my son's preschool, which also happens to be our church.

Here is the video we made for a grant application:  

I know what you're thinking:  I totally rocked spatial learning, coordination and balance... ;)  I'm waiting to hear from the Academy about my Oscar any day...

Seriously though, these kids are in desperate need of a new playground and we are lacking the funds to make it a reality.  Please consider making a donation to our playground fund.  You can do so here via crowdrise.  No amount is too small, anything you can give will help.

In addition, I have offered to personally donate an extra $2 for every person who signs up for my FREE personal shopping services.  Simply click here, complete the sign up process, and then comment below telling me you did.  I will then donate $2 in your name to the Risen Christ Playground Fund.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and for your thoughtful consideration.

Speak Up!

Thanks to the Childhood Apraxia of Speech Association of North America (CASANA), today is the very FIRST official Apraxia Awareness Day and will be recognized as such by the United States Congress! Woo hoo!  


CASANA is the only national nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to children affected by apraxia of speech and their families. They serve both the parent and professional community. Their website - Apraxia-KIDS - is the largest collection of information on apraxia anywhere and was truly a lifesaver for me when Colten was first diagnosed.

Click here to read Colten's story or to find more information on Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
Donate.
Meet more "faces" of Apraxia.

Thanks for reading, for speaking up, and for all of your support over these last two years.  It means the world to me!  Love you!
