Happy Birthday My Sweet Baby!

Yesterday was Emma's 6th Birthday. I am so proud of the little girl she has become, but I am sad too, at the baby that has left. I spent yesterday morning, reflecting back to the day I had her, and the emotions I felt when I saw her for the first time. I miss my baby, but I love my little girl. Time moves so quickly, and I need to stop and take it all in more, because it is gone in the blink of an eye. Emma had a wonderful birthday, we had a party for her at a jumper place with her kindergarten friends, then family over for cake last night. It was the kind of birthday I would have loved as a child, and I am so happy Chris and I get to give that to her.

Of course, I can't find a picture from her 5th birthday...I think it was lost in my old computer.

Happy Birthday my beautiful girl...I will love you forever and always.

200th Post...

I just saw when I was logging in to post, that this is my 200th post.  So, I guess I better make this a good one. ;) 

First let me say, I am all caught up shipping sale orders.  Sorry for the slight delay.  We were out of town, and that threw us off for a bit.

Second, have I got peeks for you!  We were shooting the line, and I just couldn't wait to show you.  I hope you love Harmony as much as I do.  We are aiming to open up within a few weeks, so not too long!  I will give you an exact date soon.  I do suggest contacting an FC to get your order or show together early.  Like I said before, this is a limited line.  Due to restructuring our team, please contact me to find an FC.  We really wanted to keep GenMarie a close knit group of amazing gals.  Ok then, without further adieu...

So I didn't give you much, but I wanted to give you something.  I am very excited.  One because I seriously love this line!  And two, because my girls were models this season.  They used to always model for me all the time, and it has been awhile since I have seen them in photos for GenMarie, so this was a real treat.  Gina rocked as always, and I promise I will have more for you soon.

We are looking for some customer testimonials and photos to add to our website.  If you would like to write one for us, and have photos of your little love in GenMarie, email them to me at genmarie@verizon.net.  I really appreciate you taking the time to do this!

Off to work on some stuff.  The teacher in me is saying, I shouldn't write the word stuff, but I don't have a better word at this moment, lol.  Have a great night!

The Whining....

You've heard of The Shining, well we have The Whining here.  Ava is in her room right now, whining because I wouldn't let her go in the shower with me.  It is going on a good 10 minutes now. She apparently doesn't like me anymore, I am not her best friend, and it's not fair.  :)

 

So I am not high on the popularity list today, but what can you do.  No one ever said being a parent made you popular.  And I am sure, this is just the beginning.  Oh, how I wish I could smoosh them back to being babies, even just for a minute.  They were so cute and cuddly, and I was their best friend.

I guess I am being nostalgic because Emma is turing 6 on the 25th.  Where did it go?  You don't realize how much they have grown, and how they have lost their baby face until you look back at pictures.  It just goes too fast.  I miss my babies.

Like how I snuck in that peek for you? Soon, I promise.  Have a great day!

Thanks Brit....

I have a funny to share with you.  Music is always on in this house, all kinds.  The girls have been listening to Britney Spears, yeah, I know.  Hey, at least she turned herself around.  Anyway, they were listening to Womanizer.  Today, Chris takes my truck to the dealership.  I swear, we just got it back after a week of it being there to get fixed, and one of the lights came on.  And not to mention the transmission fluid that is spilled all over the under carriage from them fixing it, and my whole truck stinks!  He is waiting with Ava, and talking to a guy there.  Ava starts singing womanizer, and Chris asks, what did you say.  She says you're a womanizer.  The guy just cracks up.  I am sure he must be thinking his wife is saying this to him.  I laughed so hard when Chris told me.  Out of the mouth of babes...

Speaking of music, my newest addition to my ipod, is Fall Out Boy, I Don't Care.  Love it.  Not to mention, how hot is Pete Wentz?!

He has that whole baby face meets punk rocker, tattoo thing going on.  Gotta love a bad boy.

Speaking of bad boys, Chris, no just kidding, he used to be a bad boy, but not anymore.  Now he is Mr. GQ Wall Street Boy.  But back to him, he got his haircut today, and that boy has had the same haircut for about 6 years.  I need to convince him to grow it a bit, and do something different.  Maybe more Pete Wentz, or McDreamy.  Did you see Gray's this week?!  I love Eric Stoltz!  It was a good one, but I don't get where this Izzy Denny story line is going, but I love seeing Denny anyway.

Ok, I am rambling today.  I am off to a birthday party for my niece.  Have a great weekend ladies!

Happy New Year!

Yes, I will admit it, I am a blog slacker.  Sorry about that.  The holidays kicked my butt, literally.  I wound up with some strange stomach virus for 5 days that started the morning of New Year's Eve.  I swear, there is nothing worse than that.  I would rather have a cold, bronchitis, anything, other than a stomach virus.  But enough about that.

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas!  I can't believe it has come and gone already.  So sad.  The girls were so excited on Christmas Eve.  Emma got up at 5:30 am Christmas morning and said Mommy, I can't sleep, I am so excited.  So we all got up, and the unwrapping began.

I have a picture of them, in the same spot last year, sitting just like this, waiting to unwrap.

Loving their new HSM bathrobes, and each other for a brief moment. ;)

I am glad it is over in a way, and that a new year is upon us.  Time for bigger and better things.

With that, I have to say, the spring line is done, and...gasp....you are going to LOVE it!  It is so pretty!  I think you will all be really excited about the new styles we added.  And no, I can't show you yet...but, I will give you a little something.

I did say a little something, lol.  This is one of our new pieces, and you are going to just die when you see it!  It is one of my absolute favorites of the whole collection.  Harmony will be available the beginning of February.  Find an FC now, and book your shows, as this is a limited collection, and I would hate for you to miss out on what you want.  We broke the Spring season into 2 collections, the second collection, which will be our Summer collection, will be available in April.  So lots to look forward to!

Felicia sent me over these sweet pics of this little beauty having some fun in GenMarie.  Her family has been through a great deal this year, and Felicia, through her organization, The Littlest Heroes Project, headed on over to spread some sunshine, and give some smiles to this little one and her mom.  I am so thrilled to be a part of what Felicia does.

The sale is still going on.  Click here to go check it out.  Have a great day!
