Tori Spellings son, LIAM wearing RockerByeBaby!
I always keep my eyes peeled for celebrity kids in RockerByeBaby.
But, this one I would have missed...
My buddy that runs Baby Bee's Boutique...
sent me a DM on Twitter asking..
"Is he wearing your baby shirt? http://www.zannel.com/viewupdate.htm?id=1US50"
NAturally my first thought was, who the heck is he?
I clicked on the photo and there he was...
"He" WAS wearing my shirt...
and "he" was Liam McDermott... one of the cutest celebrity babies ever born.
A couple months back I sent some items in for a Tori Spelling baby gift basket.

I sent the some Booger Bashers to share...
Stella an awesome stroller sized pink Regent Skull blanket...
and custom designed Liam a Regent Skull polo on Gray.
Its been a great seller since then.
And i ONLY sell it on white now...

that way the gray is totally One of a Kind for Liam...
When I saw the photo of him wearing it i JUMPED right off the couch...
ran to Zaq and was like, OMG OMG OMG!!! ITS LIAM!!
Tori totally made my day... my week... my year...
and she wasn't even trying...
Just being her awesome mom self, snapping pictures of her uber happy kids.

If your not already, you should follow her on twitter...
www.twitter.com/torianddean
She post lots of photos...
and we all know his kids are adorable...
For those of you that are curious about the shirt I made....
you can see that here...


Its now ONLY available in white...
Like I said, Liam is the ONLY one to ever have it on gray...
not even my own kids have that polo, haha.
Thanks again Tori, for posting that photo...
and to Liam... if you even need something new, you let me know...
ill take care of you... on the house :)
or a playdate...
I have two boys right around your age that would just love to be your buddy.

Cloth Diaper Review/Giveaway from 3MonkeysDiapers... totally blew my mind
I hate to start this blog by saying I was wrong...
but its true... I was totally wrong...
I totally underestimated these diapers by 3MonkeysClothDiapers.
#1 - Seeing them in person I was totally blown away.
If I can give ONE constructive criticism for this shop...
*Note to Stacey* TAKE NEW PHOTOS!
Your shop deserves SOOO much more press...
and sharper/more professional photos would make a HUGE difference.
Buy a .50 piece of white poster board... take new photos...
and watch the sales come rollin in :)
#2 - Im totally new to cloth diapering...
from what i had heard around... it was the pocket diapers I wanted...
Again, I was wrong... I want these diapers... about 20 more...
No tucking, twisting... cliping...
everything is right there ready to go...
you just flip it on like a normal diaper.
Due to a secret "HUGE future giveaway" i have in the works...
I have had the opportunity to try out alot of different diapers.
And right now, these are the top of my list...
and Im not just saying that... its totally true.
I was TRYING to get Zavery to soak through this diaper...
I wanted to remind myself why I use disposables...
He had JUST woken from his nap...
I gave him a big ol cup of juice, and cute little skull diaper booty :)

Or course, I had to let him run around naked...
cuz he looked so darn cute...

I started watching the clock... 4:15 we started...
@ 4:45 i pulled off the diaper... he HAD to have "pottied" by then...
nothing... no wetness...
We had dinner plans, so i took a big risk and left him in the diaper...
5:30 I checked again, he was still totally fine... hardly damp...
since our start time he had ANOTHER cup of water... still fine...
reservations were at 6:30... so I took him in, and changed him.
Had I wanted to push it longer I could have.
But i was SO SO SO beyond happy with these results I didnt want to ruin it.
I really can't even explain how happy I am about these diapers...
I wish I would have started from the beginning.
Her diapers are affordable... stylish... and top of the line.
and yes of course, you get to try one too!
TWO OF YOU!!
Though, let the record state...
I totally want to keep them for myself... haha
So this week... TWO WINNERS...

I have one (L/XL adjustable) purple and pink skulls girlie diaper...
and one (l/xl adjustable) orange and yellow skull and flames diaper...

Even if you dont regularly cloth diaper, i URGE you to comment and try it out.
I'm totally inspired. You will be too!

Note to Self Saturday: Keep your mouth shut!! You WILL jinx yourself...
I want to preface this blog by using the definition of "jinx":Jinx\, n. A person, object, influence, or supernatural being which is supposed to bring bad luck or to cause things to go wrong.
Now - for my story...
Ya know "they" always say - if its too good to be true, it probably is...
Or... if your toddlers being good at a restaurant, you NEVER say it outloud...
you dare even THINK it, because the second you do... expect a meltdown. Or, wow... I sure have gotten the house really clean today - just then, a tornado blows through your living room... and only YOUR living room. Or maybe even, yeah, it sure has been a swell day today right honey? Just then your mother in law calls and announces her surprise visit... for a week... and shes staying your spare bedroom... wow, now thats bad luck... OR, ahem... a jinx... but I had one yesterday that will compete pretty well with that...
I was driving with the boys to Wal-Mart... I had to pick up a few things...
Poly-Fil, Printer Ink, Vaccuum bags... a viberator and some lube, wait what!?
No no... i just made that part up...
that would definitely make the story more interesting though!
Now that your listening... ill continue...
... had to pick up a few things...
while on my way, I was thinking of what I would blog about for...
"Note to Self Saturday"....
and I was totally stumped...
*heres where it all went bad*
I thought - wow... I havn't really done anything stupid this week...
*GASP!*
So I got to wal-mart...
grabbed all my goodies...
(including a $9 eco-friendly toddler potty to keep in the sewing studio for potty training... I recommend one in every room)
I put the potty under the cart and proceeded to the checkout...
They nice lady while giggling with the boys rang me up...
and I put the potty back under the cart.
Just then, I realized I left my wallet in the car in my other bag.
OOPS! Silly me...
So I tell her Ill be right back, she holds my items,
and off I go sprinting towards the door pushing the boys.
While running out of the door the alarm goes off...
*Lets remember... I have hot pink hair, a half sleeve of tattoos... and piercings...*
So the lady stops me and as Im running out, I remember... SHIT! The potty is down there.
I hand it to her, explain I have to get my wallet... etc.
Well, that wasn't good enough... 2 people came over.
Asked for my receipt. I pointed down the isle...
exlained the situation and said, my stuff is down there, I have to get my wallet ill be right back. Walk me out if you want.
Im here to spend over $100, why would I steal a $9 potty chair!!??
Finally they agreed and let me go...
While walking out the door... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...
it went off again...
I pulled everything out of my bags... my purse shook out the kids blankets, etc.
At this point, I have a gathering of gawkers... (A month ago zaq bought me a pack of tongue rings from walmart...
Well, today - it was setting off the alarm. I dont know why...
ive been there a ton of times since... except for, the jinx...
So I pulled it out, handed it to her...
again... asked wehre my receipt was.
I had no clue... it was a month ago!
Finally after an almost 15 minute process...
the security lady realized that you had to get those out of the case and pay at the jewelry counter... adn they let me go...
I ran out, got my wallet... paid...
and hauled butt home with my VERY crabby babies at that point...
Recap:
15 minute trips can go terribly wrong when mixed with a jinx... always, always wear your jinx cup... (like a nut up, but better)
Note To Self:
When things are going good KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! You WILL jinx yourself... Dont say it.. dont even think it... just go with it... also, when making a Bee-line to the wal-mart door... be sure your not "stealing" anything...
