Getting Ready for a Big Boutique

Hi Everyone,

Well it's a beautiful day here in Tarzana, California.  Blue skies and clear as can be.  I would say it's about 75 degrees.  It sure is amazing how a child can make your life just so amazing.  My son is just sooooo sweet.  He gave me a note that says mommy you are delicious when you smile, you have the sweetest hugs and you are mine. I just melted when he gave that to me.  He truly is the world to me.  Now if I can just stop him for getting older.....  I love when they are still young.  He's 7 almost 8 and I am just so sad he's growing so fast!

So this week is a big boutique for me.  I am gearing up for my lovely kneeling cushions with cute fabric over them.  I have some nice new fabrics and can't wait to share them.  Feel free to visit my website.  I love comments and feedback.  It's tough market out there, but I truly think these are so cute and great for parents bathing children or kneeling down when cleaning the floors/tubs, exercising, and even as a toddler sitting cushion.  Well let me know what you think.  I may have another giveaway soon too.. so stay tuned. 

Now for my Top 5  Thanks for reading.  www.cuteandcomfycushionknee.com Click here to visit my website:   My Kneeling Cushions :)

My Second Blog

Hello Everyone out there. It's been a crazy week.  I have a few giveaways going on and finally I am doing a giveaway on my blog as you can see.  I am still figuring out this blog thing, but it's fun.  It's Saturday and 7:00am in the early quiet morning where my family is sleeping. The weather is still in the mid 70's and clear sky.  The best time to get things done.  My son wanted me to let you all know that if anyone out there has kids who loves dinosaurs and has any questions to please send them his way.  YES, He is addicted to dinosaurs.  Going on one year now.  Walks, talks, sleeps w/, acts out, eats like, reads about DINOSAURS.  In all my life, I never knew at my age (mid 40's) I would have to learn over 100 dinosaurs, how to spell them, know where they live, what they eat and so on.  Yes I learned words like Sauropods, Hadrosaurs, Pachycepholosaurus, Celophysis, Giganotosaurus, that there are no dinosaurs that fly, they are called flying reptiles.  Well I can go on, but you have the idea.  Uh Oh, I think I hear my son stomping down the stairs.  Oh by the way did I mention his name is Joshodontomimosaurosauss.

Okay so now for my TOP 5 LIST I mention I would try out.  Today will be about the Top 5 Museums

1. The Vatican Museums
Founded by Pope Julius II, the Vatican Museums are listed among the greatest of all museums. If you visit these museums, you will be able to see some of the best sculptures. Not only that, but also, the art masterpieces created during Renaissance period are also displayed here.

My First Entree

Hello Everyone,

I am not quite sure what I am going to write about so how about I let you know the weather in sunny California.  It's about 75 degrees and quite windy today.  I have so many questions about blogging and where to begin, so I will start here - I named my website Mom Created Item for Mom and or Child  because I wasn't sure what I was doing when I began this big venture. Now that I have been reading other blogs and starting to understand it, I may change it or just leave it so I can laugh about it someday when my blog becomes popular.. Ha ha...   Well that's it for now, I am going to surf the internet and maybe come back with some interesting news later this week.  Maybe a TOP TEN LIST or something about new moms or new moms starting a new business... I don't know, but you will see soon.
