We are gearing up for another fabulous boutique this weekend. We will be at pistol pete's mexican grill on Saturday ready to handstamp whatever you would like. Come and grab a quesadilla (random that it's at a mexican grill, right? lol! but my parents neighbor owns this place and the food really is pretty good.

Boutique-ing it Out

This weekend, the ladies and I from The R House Couture will be debuting our line of adoption related shirts and onesies and a new line of pendant necklaces at the Belle Boutique. Of course we will have our fabulous necklace line as well including tons of one of a kind designs. We will also be offering a discount on custom necklaces (can't beat that).

Come visit us!

We'd love to see you.

Mrs R and I will be there in full force and will be thinking of Sensei who is having surgery and will be in the hospital.

There will be over 40 vendors at the boutique. Such a great variety (although, who are we kidding, our booth will be the best!). There will also be a raffle every hour, one of the prizes will be a pair of our earrings (a pair that I love and want for myself!).

So, come join us even just to say hi.

Disneyland Giveaway

If you have never visited Sweet Life in the Valley now is the time to do it! They, along with Out & About with the family are giving away a trip to Disneyland. Of course, they also have great info on their blog as well but, the. trip. to. Disneyland. Man oh man, how I could use a vacation. And if I don't win, then hopefully it will be one of you. I know my kids would love it (and who am I kidding, I would too!). So head on over and check it out.

My Button

I can't believe that I have forgotten about my "Gilded Pear" button. It wasn't until Mrs. R was searching for it that I realized it had never made it's debut. So, to debut my fabulous button, I thought I would say some nice things about it.

1) I love it's green color combination and pattern
2) It's rounded corners are the best and would make for a great coaster
3) The "stamped" font is so great and makes me miss my stamping days
4) The little pear is just adorable with it's scratchy details

Allow me to introduce The Gilded Pear button:

Always Making Me Laugh

No pictures because I suck at getting them organized lately. But I must write down the funny things my kids say somewhere.

First of all, it has been quite the day. The kids haven't been acting like themselves all day and the little man has been complaining about his stomach and then threw up twice.

Earlier tonight...

Me: Little man does your tummy feel OK? (this is right after he threw up)
L: I shouldn't have eaten that Sushi. (after having just one bite at my mom's house and not being sure about it)

I couldn't help but laugh.

A few minutes later...

L: Mom, do you think the toilet is going to be OK.
Me: What do you mean? I think the toilet is fine.
L: No, it isn't. I probably just made it sick from puking in it.
Me (laughing inside because he was completely serious): I think the toilet can handle it.

The little lady has been cranky all day. Whining and crying galore. Still whining L starts singing "I understand, I understand, I understand" (yes, sings) and then says, "it's OK K, you don't have to cry." This is what I have been telling her all day as I am trying to calm her down (minus the singing). I guess it is just funny to hear L saying it over and over again.

And this is so typical...earlier today K goes outside and drenches herself with the hose. Standing in the kitchen dripping wet she says (with much dramatization I might add), "guys, I am soakin' wet (arms in the air, talking with her hands). I need to change my cloo-othes (pulling on her shirt). Get my swimming suit and I can go swimming (hand on hips so matter of factly). This is going to be so greaa-at (with the biggest smile ever). She seriously thinks that if she gets all wet then we can bust out their little pool and go swimming. It is her tactic and it worked today.

They are hilarious and seriously say the funniest things. I really need to write them down more often. And really need to videotape Kate when she is talking so dramatically. Really, so funny.

So good we can laugh as we try to survive the sickies. Although I just gagged from having to clean up poor little K's bum. I hope no one else gets sick and it was just something the two of them ate.

this is where Mrs. R and Kimmie will be tonight and I am hoping to join them a bit later.
join us.

below is the invitation from katie.
We will be debuting our new designs.

If you live or will be in the Salt Lake area this Wednesday, September 2, be sure to stop by my Scentsy party in Taylorsville (5255 s Queenswood Drive) between 7-8:30. It's an open house so you're welcome to come and go as you'd like.

The new Fall/Winter catalog just came out and I'll have all the new scents there to sample. I'll also be offering hostess benefits to anyone who generates at least $150 in sales. Even if your friends can't make it to the party but want to send an order with you, it will count toward your total.

But the most exciting part about this night will be the opportunity to meet Mrs. R from The R House, and Kim, from Simply Me as well as purchase items from their brand new R House Couture shop. For anyone who might not be familiar with these two powerhouse women, they are both champions for the cause of adoption, children and families in general, not to mention fabulous writers and beautiful people. Even if you have no personal experience with adoption these are two ladies you will want to meet!

Plus, anyone who makes both a Scentsy and an R House purchase that night will receive an extra gift.

This is going to be such a fun, unique night that I guarantee you won't want to miss! Even if we've never met IRL, please consider coming and changing that fact. We'll have lots of food and giveaways throughout the night so really there's no reason not to come! For more details or to get the address of the party, email me at benkatieandkiara@gmail.com
