</div><div style="text-align: center;">I must say Chris Hansen is my personal fav.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Yes he is attractive, but that voice of his.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wow he pulls me in every time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">He could be narrating a school text book on computer coding and I would think it was interesting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgG3c5d3XEw/T1OO8G5iv_I/AAAAAAAACfY/niBmzdwbrhU/s1600/imagesCAYE13DP.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgG3c5d3XEw/T1OO8G5iv_I/AAAAAAAACfY/niBmzdwbrhU/s1600/imagesCAYE13DP.jpg" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">This week he did an episode on Day Cares.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And who is really watching your child.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still can not shake this episode.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think every parent who has a child in day car should watch this episode.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was mind blowing.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sad.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Down right disgusting.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">First and foremost...</div><div style="text-align: center;">DO NOT TRUST YOUR STATE TO DO THE HOMEWORK FOR YOU.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Chris Hansen revealed that thousands of day care workers in LICENSED FACILITIES </div><div style="text-align: center;">have had violent crimes against them, </div><div style="text-align: center;">including</div><div style="text-align: center;">Battery, Domestic Battery, Aggravated Assault and even MANSLAUGHTER.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Other charges include,</div><div style="text-align: center;">DUI, Possession of Drugs, Fleeing & Eluding, Resisting Arrest With Violence, Driving While License Suspended, etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why are these people watching your children?</div><div style="text-align: center;">They should not be.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Understandably people have a past, learn and move forward from those mistakes only to make themselves better from their mistake.</div><div style="text-align: center;">However, I personally feel that if you have EVER, EVER, EVER, have had a violent criminal past then you should not be allowed to run or work in a day care facility.</div><div style="text-align: center;">No, ifs, ands or buts about it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Period.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Mr. Hansen also disclosed that 1 in 5 offenders, re offend.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So, why? why? why? </div><div style="text-align: center;">is YOUR State not doing anything about this?</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's almost as if they are aiding these criminals/felons to strike again.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The State makes "exceptions" for people, they want to give them a second chance.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But in the mean time, your child might not have a chance in their care.<br />
<br />
Your State should not allow offenders and felons to be licenced or work near children.<br />
They should be doing NATIONAL checks on them.<br />
They should run annual checks (if not monthly) on their providers.<br />
Not one every 5 years.<br />
You know how many people slip through the cracks but doing a search every 5 years.<br />
A lot can happen in 5 years, especially if you are a "bad" guy.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">A Department of Child & Families spokesperson for the State of Florida was</div><div style="text-align: center;">on speaking with Mr. Hansen and she simply said that, yes, yes, there are providers out there with criminal pasts, and it may not be right but in order to try and shut down a provider a child has to either be seriously harmed or die.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">How shocking and gross is that?!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">One would think that the STATE would do their best efforts to keep the innocent children away from "bad" people and to protect the children of the future.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But they are not.</div><div style="text-align: center;">In essence they are handing innocent, weak children in the care of felons, to test them, to see if they will re offend.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The State needs to get ride of some of these ridiciously programs and actually put the time and money into an issue that really needs to be addressed.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The safety of our children.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I am going to start talking to people in my State's capitol about this.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is not right.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Something must change.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Please tell me your thoughts on this.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I for one want to protect my child and will do whatever I can to do this.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">If you want more information about the Dateline episode on Day Care</div><div style="text-align: center;">go to the <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032600/">Dateline website</a> and watch some short clips.</div><div style="text-align: center;">You can also go <a href="http://nbc.clientmediaserver.com/dateline_daycare/index.html">here</a> to get read some great Q&A from Mr. Hansen.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'm so excited to be here! My name is Christina, photographer at <a href="http://www.christinahigmanphotography.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">Christina Higman Photography</span></a>. A couple weeks ago my youngest daughter turned 3. She's been a ballet dancin' fool these days, so my mom and I decided to throw her a sweet ballerina themed party. I'm so blessed to have a crafty, energetic momma. We were able to divide our favorite pinterest finds and tackle most of the decorations ourselves. Here are a few images from the day....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Simple flower decorations were mostly compiled of green plants from my yard. The soft pink roses matched the party perfectly.<br />
One of my favorite decorations was the ballerina tutu cupcake toppers my mom made. So perfect! She looked at<span style="color: black;"> </span><a href="http://composinghallelujahs.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-make-paper-dress-cupcake-toppers.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">this</span></a> pinterest tutorial and then added her own touches. I loved the little rinestones, tulle, and sparkly ribbon she used. They got lots of attention. :-)<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The ballet sugar cookies above were one of my projects. They came out really cute, and they were super easy. I rolled out my cookie dough and just cut the oblong shape out with a knife. I looked at <a href="http://cakejournal.com/cake-lounge/ballet-cookies/" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">this</span></a> site for my inspiration. <br />
Above you will also see my oldest daughter giving me her biggest smile in our pink frame we hung outside. Each of the quests posed for a picture. <br />
The bottom left image is from<a href="http://www.meetthedubiens.com/2011/06/handprint-ballerina-tutu.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;"> this</span></a> pinterest find. It's basically just a pink cut out from cardstock on the top, a ribbon across the middle, and the kids handprint to make the tutus. They turned out really cute and the kids seemed to enjoy a craft.<br />
Lastly in the bottom right we had pink, heart shaped peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Did you know you can have the Publix bakery make you a loaf of bread dyed any color? Awesome right? </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I made this number 3 for our front door. It took me a couple hours, but it wasn't hard. I cut out a number 3 on a piece of cardboard and then hot glued scrunched up tissue paper all over. My husband kept looking over like I was crazy while I was making it, but I assured him it was worth it. :-)</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My mom and my girls (okay, mostly my mom) made this awesome pinata. There are a ton of tutorials online for making one. She used the traditional balloon, newpaper strips, and flour/ water paste method. She did two layers and it was the PERFECT thickness. Each child was able to give it 3 swings before it finally broke. Tacky glue attached the tissue paper circles, starting at the bottom and layering up towards the top.</td></tr>

I am listening to a 30 minute sermon of some of the most amazing speakers,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">all while driving Colby to day care and work and sippin on my morning coffee.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This could not start off my day better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Getting you picture taken by a professional photographer is always so fun to me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love to see the art that they capture on their end. </div><div style="text-align: center;">And I get some amazing priceless family memories.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQG_af2bC8E/TyPrrXMcgEI/AAAAAAAACO8/_Py0QngOdlc/s1600/girls+kissig.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oQG_af2bC8E/TyPrrXMcgEI/AAAAAAAACO8/_Py0QngOdlc/s320/girls+kissig.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I met with the wonderful <a href="http://christinahigmanphotography.com/index2.php">Christina Higman</a> of <a href="http://christinahigmanphotography.com/">Christina Higman Photography</a> and she did not disappoint. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I of course want to rave about her pictures but also about how sweet she is. She is so down to earth and I felt like I have known her for years. She made me feel so comfortable and C liked her too. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I always find this a must for a photographer we are going to use.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KohRf5ZxhKw/TyPr_TmZGzI/AAAAAAAACPM/XDx7zO5Styo/s1600/family2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KohRf5ZxhKw/TyPr_TmZGzI/AAAAAAAACPM/XDx7zO5Styo/s320/family2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now on to her photos, her photos are flawless you guys. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She seemed to capture crazy toddler C running around like it was no big deal. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, that is genius if you ask me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">C had a snack cup in his hand the whole time (he would not let me take it away...death grip on that puppy) but in the pictures it's like you don't even see it. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Because she seemed to capture the look on his face perfectly that you don't even notice anything else. She is amazing I tell ya. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-vWms83fcgF0/TyPpBJ4riWI/AAAAAAAACO0/wXtombOurAI/s320/logo4fb.jpg" width="320" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Christina rocks!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see from some of her other work.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Christina and I are also working on something else that everyone (even if you are not in this area) can enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So please keep your eyes peeled out on both of our <a href="http://www.christinahigmanphotography.blogspot.com/">blogs</a>.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09823102149402169379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703079908361669372.post-50130687824747360642012-01-26T09:06:00.000-05:002012-01-26T09:06:45.120-05:00The Truth Of The Ped's Office {Every Mama Can Relate}<div style="text-align: center;">Whenever I have to take C to the Ped's office I feel like I am the one being tortured.</div><div style="text-align: center;">And here are my issues...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;">Problem #1</span></u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">We all get out of the car, baby in arms and diaper bag thrown across my shoulder and coffee in hand spilling all over the place.</div><div style="text-align: center;"> But its 8:00 a.m. so Mama needs caffeine especially for this experience.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I get up to the door and just stand and stare at it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I don't even want to touch the handle. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I swear I can see germs jumping off of it and onto my precious little child infecting him with some nasty green snooty coughy crap.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But I finally realize that we need to go inside and the doors aren't going to magically open because I'm starting at them with arms full.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I open them muttering under my breath how disgusting that just was.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Simple Resolution: Act like you are a nice restaurant and have someone manning the door.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Mama's normally have their hands full of baby and all their stuff and need all the help they can get.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><u><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;">Problem #2</span></u></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;">Finally inside and I have to sign in.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Fine.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can do this, put my dripping coffee down, throw my diaper bag on a chair and swing baby on hip.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Done.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We are officially here and ready to see the Doctor.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Well, we wait and wait and the bright as Florida sunshine fluorescent lights are humming, babe is starting to get restless and walk up to every person in the room and just stare at them.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ummm baby didn't your Mother tell you it was rude to stare.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Guess not, mom fail and the awkwardness sets in.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Simple Resolution: Let us check in electronically on our phones in the car while Babe is seated and calm.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;"><u><strong>Problem #3</strong></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are finally called back after sitting in the first waiting room for what seems like an eternity.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks Doc!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought that's why I got the first appointment of the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I don't have to deal with any of the above mess.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Guess not.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now, we see the Nurse.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I think they do this so the Doctor has a buffer in her time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Nurse is kinda like the opening act of a show.</div><div style="text-align: center;">We all want the real thing we are here to see but have to wait and hear what she has to say first.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Whatever.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She asks the questions she asks every single time we are there and then she leaves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Simple Resolution: Stick to the appointment time the Mama schedule. There is a reason for the appointment, that's why we make it.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;"><strong><u>Problem #4</u></strong></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">She leaves us in a small itty bitty room with toys.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ok, toys are for kids to play with right?</div><div style="text-align: center;">No, no they are not.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Not in this instance.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Remember Problem #1.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I didn't even want to touch the door knob walking into this place why do I want my child touching these germ infested toys?!</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the love, why do these Doctors do this to the Mother's.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's not fair.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So now, my child sees these fun looking old toys and wants to play with them.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Simple Resolution: Get the dang toys out of the itty bitty rooms!!!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: medium;"><u><strong>Problem #5</strong></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I have to somehow wrangle my child away from the toys and become way more fun and entertaining then those bright colored toys sitting and starting at my child and calling his name.</div><div style="text-align: center;">This is not going to happen at 8 in the morning.</div><div style="text-align: center;">But somehow I must muster up my chipper self and become an airplane.</div><div style="text-align: center;">An airplane that spins, dips, sings, catapults, sways, laughs, etc.<br />
And I have to do this until the Doctor decides she wants to start working for the day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Um about 20-30 minutes of us being in the SECOND "waiting room"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #76a5af; font-size: medium;">Simple Resolution: Again with the appointment thing and the toys.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Oh itty bitty sweet faced baby where did you go? I think you are in that little body of yours somewhere but you rarely come out to play anymore. Instead we all get to hear you screaming to "It's My Way Or The Highway". The problem is that you still have this cute little face. Mama can't resist a cute face, just ask Daddy. So when you yell at us because we didn't let you have Mama's huge glass of wine it's hard not to laugh, because you are so darn cute. And you even do this thing where you stick out your bottom lip and it quivers like crazy. It's adorable. Sorry.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But Mama will not take you doing the dreaded word...."Hitting". No Sir! Mama does not like to be hit. And why dont you hit Daddy. You know he is the one that continues to dunk your <strike>hair</strike> head in the bath tub and the water gets in your eyes. So if anyone should be getting the wrath of you it would be him...just sayin. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before you never did anything bad enough to constitute an official "Time Out" but now you are getting old enough to no you shouldn't hit or do certain things. So sorry sweet face boy when you hit mama you are going to Time Out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">This breaks Mama's heart. To hear you scream for a minute straight is like putting hot fire pokers in my heart. I dont like seeing my <strike>sweet face </strike>my new found opinionated toddler sad. But baby love just do what I say and you won't have to go in time out. Or make mommy sad ever.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Merry Belated Christmas! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Guess what we got to do?! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay home on Christmas. This is a huge deal!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ya know that movie 4 Christmas's?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah, that's us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I prefer to be called Reese too, thank ya very much. I have been told I look like her ya know. Ha I wish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But yes, our lives are normally <strike>miserable </strike>crazy on Christmas day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, remember 4 Christmas's.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally after we get back to our house we all crash because we are so tired from doing the "to do" at every house we go to. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That gets tiring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know Christmas is time to be with the family, but really?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we tried to scale it down a bit. I think it worked out perfectly. The E's have started their own traditions and I couldn't he happier about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next year my family and my husband's family will all be in one city at the same time. And you know what? We must might have everyone over at the same time to do it all in one big ha-rah! So brace yourself. Seriously, brace yourself. I am sure some good stories will come out of this, as always....</div>

This past weekend we started to celebrate Christmas early.</div>
<div align="center">
It was kicked off by going to Gainesville to spend the weekend with the Enlow's.</div>
<div align="center">
We packed up and headed out with a car full of presents, food, and what else but baby stuff.</div>
<div align="center">
Those little things need a lot of stuff for only a couple of days.</div>

It's unreal!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After we got back from our weekend with family I turned around and started to get ready for our annual girls's Christmas party.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not gotten to go for several years now and it was so great catching up with everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all have babies now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our dinner conversations have surely changed throughout the years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I must say I think this was one of the most drama free relaxing party yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great friends is such a special thing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love you girls!</div>

There were a ton of people there and so many distant family members have not yet met Mr. Colby.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">C took a nap in the closet without any problems.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The closet was the quietest place we could find.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And it seemed to do the trick.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He didn't make a peep.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">While he napped, Jared and I got to eat our huge Thanksgiving feast.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We did dessert Cheryl style.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had 3.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love desserts, <strike>and could resist myself </strike>so we split 'em.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The holidays seem to be the toughest for those we have lost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But we just have to remember they are smiling down on us and can't wait for us to join them so we can all be together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
