A random picture just for Karen!
Here are my Random pics of the day:
(i thought that I should give you all fair warning about what happens when I ditch DH and DD and have a girls weekend...this my BF's bachelorette party in New Orleans...oh and I should mention that I don't normally wear a bindi on my forehead, that's for her sake)
And two...I totally throw the diet to the wind when I'm on vacation. So here I am trying to neatly eat beignets (which is next to impossible). Notice the mickey on the shirt. Can't leave home w/o some kind of Disney reference!!!
A random picture just for Karen!
This is me making fun of a fanny pack in the Coach store taken during my Sister trip. I have my nieces convinced that i bought it and convinced that I think it's the super coolest thing ever and convinced that I am going to be wearing it on our next outing! They are horrified!
I am not sure why I am making that ugly face, but I just love you all enough to show you the picture anyway!
A coach fanny pack??? If only I had known they existed
Ok, here are a few more.

This is an attempt at a pattern before I use my Disney fabric. I really do better without a pattern. They confuse me since I don't know what they are talking about half the time
Here is my shirred Ariel, my daughter's favorite princess.
I love the patchwork skirts. Is that a pattern?
So here is my random picture! DD dared my son yesterday to take a bit out of his cake.... Of course he did.
And then thought it was rather funny!
Thankfully I adore him and it was his bday lol. Otherwise he would have been in a LOT of trouble!
That is too funny! He reminds me of my brother! he would definitely have done the same thing! Of coursse, I would be the one eggng him on!I've finally made some new things to share.
The first is a bowling shirt for Sam for our trip to WDW Sept. 19th-26th
The Donald on the front is one of the designs that came with my embroidery machine. I had forgotten what poor quality these designs are. It puckered something fierce!
The back is my first pieced applique. It's a little wonky looking, but was really fun to do!
Here is a picture of my Sammy modeling his new shirt (over his pirate pajamas)!
Finally here is a picture of Jack in his Batman cape. I just threw this together last night, it's a little wonky too. It looks terribly wrinkled since he insisted on sleeping in it (but, I think he likes it).
Due to the constant inspiration, I downloaded my first CarlaC pattern tonight! I can't wait for DD to go stay with my mom (my mom is taking her on vacation to Maine for the first week of August) so I can work on it. I'm hoping to finish my Epcot and Animal Kingdom outfits and another tiered twirl skirt with some fun Mickey Mouse fabric I got while she is gone. Too ambitious?? I do have to work during the day and get to the gym.
). We're already planning to go pick blackberries soon so we can make our own jam (the Smucker's jam we have will disappear once we've done that).
When she gets hungry the next day and wants a snack, I give her options like yogurt, fruit, etc. and remind her she didn't want to get other snacks when she had the chance. 
Please post pictures of the cute dress you bought her! My DD is almost 3 and sometimes a little messy but I never thought about a cute custom bib!I just carry around a ziploc full of bibsters and take it off when the characters come by.
I am going to try a second one and take 4 inches off it and she how it does. But that is about the extent of my abilities, the rest I leave up to my mom 
I agree, donate it. Sure, hydrogenated oil isn't great but most things are fine in moderation.
On the subject of food, I'm trying to switch Zoe and me to healthier food but it's hard for both of us. Neither of us eat PB&J often (she does more than me) so I figure it's not something to worry about since she doesn't have health issues that would be aggravated by it. I do plan to switch to something healthier once what we have is gone.
I've started checking labels at home today, too, and have been relieved that few of the things we eat on a regular basis have HFCS. Even the Wonder Bread is HFCS free (I know, it has other issues but we're trying
Overall, I try to get food that is as close to its original form as possible. When I get "processed" food, I try to be sure I know what the ingredients are (not always but I try). For example applesauce should only have apples and maybe cinnamon. I know we're lucky that we don't have any food allergies or sensitivities to worry about but I encourage Zoe to make the right choices at home so she'll be more likely to do so away from home. One other thing we've done is to not buy so much snack food. I've learned to only take Zoe shopping with me if she's already eaten. If we go when she's hungry, she focuses on snacks. If she's full, she's more interested in just getting out of the store and says no to snacks when asked.
I know it's still kind of junk food, but I wouldn't be giving it in place of veges. Actually, I probably like that white bread stuff better than the girls because that is what I was brought up on. They are used to the stuff we eat.
If I were to write a trip report for our trip it would be titled Universal, Disney and Urgent Care! Our trip can be summed up with one pic and here it is!
