Happy Wednesday!


How does it get to be Wednesday so fast?!  I swear, before I know it, it's here already.  Week half over.  

Thank you all so much for the birthday wishes!  I have to say, it was the best birthday ever, ok, getting engaged for my 23rd Birthday topped this one, but it was a great one.  Two of my best friends from middle school took me out to dinner in Manhattan.  The weather was beautiful here in NY on Friday.  That only added to the greatness.  We ate at this adorable little Italian place, and were able to sit outside at the cute little tables on the sidewalk and enjoy the warm night air.  The food was great, the wine, even better, and of course the company was the best.



Left to right, Aneida, Me, Jenn and Melissa

You might recognize Melissa and Jenn from previous blog posts.  I have known these two lovely ladies since I was 12!  Aneida is a good friend of Jenn's, and has become a great friend of mine.  This photo was taken at a fun bar in the West Village near Melissa's apartment.  We had a blast!  I didn't get home until 5am...don't remember the last time I did that.  I paid for that the next day, let me tell you, lol.

Saturday was Emma's first soccer game!  It was so much fun to watch.  This is the first year Emma is playing soccer.  She did awesome!  She took a hit to the mouth early on, and bled a little.  I thought for sure, she was going to be done for the day at that point.  But the little trouper got right back in there, scored her first two goals, and had some pretty dirty knees!  She was a true soccer player, aggressive and unafraid.  Her face when she scored her first goal was priceless!  Take a look.  She was so proud of herself.


Look at that face!  She said to her coach, This is Fun!



On the sidelines, waiting her turn.



Ava not happy because she couldn't play.  She starts next weekend.



My hubby even got to help out, which was right up his alley.

It was just the perfect weekend!  It was warm again on Saturday, and we had our first firepit of the season.  The kids made their versions of s'mores, and fell asleep on us while we were enjoying the fire.  They had a busy day.





Check out these little cupcakes!  They are so sweet, and I just love these photos!  Thank you Erin for sharing them with me!

You'll notice some changes soon with GenMarie, and I think you will all be very happy...I will let you know when I can.

Have a great day!

2 Days...


until my 32nd birthday.  I have decided that this is the last year I am counting.  I figure people tell me I look like I am 25, so I have at least 7 years to get away with saying I am 32. ;)

It has been a very stressful week and a half, and I so appreciate all of your emails.  They certainly brightened my days.  I believe that everyone is taken care of, and please, if you have any problems, contact me, so I can take care of it.

Creating has always relaxed me, and taken over my mind.  I am working on some one of a kind pieces which I will put on my website.  The website will be back up soon.  Some totally cute items perfect for spring/summer.  Soleil is up in the air right now, but I will keep you informed.  I am trying really hard to bring it to you.  

This venture of GenMarie has brought me many emotions, and a lot of challenges.  I do not regret the decision to take GenMarie to this level.  Sure, life would have been easier if I would have kept it small, but I wouldn't have been happy until I tried.  I started this company three years ago, as a hobby, and it has brought me so much more.  We will keep bringing you beautiful clothing, and work to overcome our challenges.

I will leave you with this photo of my Ava, half of the reason for GenMarie.  She is the Marie in GenMarie.  I hope when they are older, they will understand what Mommy tried to do for them.



Have a good day!

Hello Ladies...


Ok, I know there is a lot of speculation as to what is going on with GenMarie.  We are dealing with some issues, but we are working hard to resolve it.  Everything should hopefully be situated shortly.  So, just a heads up.  I'm still here, everyone who has ordered has been taken care of.  I will let you know once we are back to business as usual.  Thank you for your patience, and your lovely emails.

Have a great Holiday Weekend!
