Party Kitty

Hanging Out

When I went to sign out The Little Empress from school the other, the Director of the school happened to be standing nearby and told me an interesting story about TLE and how she plays.

The girls in her class were “having a dress up party” and TLE had joined in. Rather than dressing up with the other girls, TLE decided that she would be a kitty cat. She crawled around on the ground, mewing and rolling onto her back and playing with her friends as they played dress-up party. When the Director came in, TLE mewed and nuzzled her leg.

TLE’s quite the imaginative little thing! I love the fact that she’s not afraid to be original in a crowd. I can only hope that she will continue to not be afraid to be exactly who she wants to be.

Shout Out — Diaper Cake Genie

Posted by Michelle on Feb 3, 2011 in shopping | 1 comment

When it comes to new baby gifts, I’m a spoilsport when it comes to the so-called “must haves.” Out of all the things we received while I was pregnant with The Little Empress, I think the things that we used the most included the basics like towels, blankets and of course, diapers. (Good gravy, will the diapers never end?!)

If there’s one gift that I desperately wanted to receive at my baby shower (but didn’t) it was a diaper cake. I love the idea of a diaper cake because it combines all the best and most useful gifts for new parents all in a cute little presentation. As it so happens, my bestie from Junior High just started her own business called Diaper Cake Genie!

She makes some of the cutest diaper cakes I’ve seen! I mean, seriously, take a look at some of these diaper cakes…

Who wouldn’t want these on the gift table at a baby shower? They make even me, Ms. “USABLE GIFTS ONLY!!!” melt in a pile of “Aww, baby!” goo. Adorable and useful. Love that combo. Plus? She ships all over the US.

Fun night

I just said goodbye to some friends after spending the evening playing Rock Band 2, watching anime and YouTube finds and noshing on pizza. Fun times were had by all, including The Little Empress. She was a bit fussy at times but went down for nap and then finally for the night while being worn, allowing Mommy to play Rock Band and have fun with friends but still be close to baby. It is a testament to how well she sleeps in carriers that she didn’t wake up even when Rock Band was blasting in the background. Babywearing for the win!!
