Mr. Longfellow Was Right

"There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good
She was very, very good.
And when she was bad she was horrid."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


Longfellow's words could (unfortunately? fortunately?) apply to both of my children this week, but Michaela Byrd was the only one sporting the forehead curls when I took the photo.

In between fighting over acorns in the backyard like a couple of strung-out squirrels, running up and down the length of the post office's interior while "knocking" on every door to the P.O. boxes, using an empty Old Navy clothes rack as a stage and attempting to kidnap a mannequin, my girls have been perfect little angels.

Um, yes....

I'm hoping Michaela Byrd chooses the "perfect little angel" persona today, because my friend Christy and I are hosting a Mommy's Morning Out -Holiday Shopping Open House this morning while our older girls are in preschool. She sells Thirty One and I'm hoping people will come to see my Blessings Unlimited Christmas items. Wish us luck!

In other news, the winner of the Blog Design Giveaway from Laura Jane Designs is #19, Barb from Dogmom Diva. Congratulations, Barb! Email me so I can get you in touch with Laura Jane.

  8. A holiday open house sounds like a great idea! And surely Michaela Byrd will be in angel form. Surely.

    A curly-haired angel, maybe. :)

I love to hear your feedback! Please feel free to leave comments...just don't send me spam asking me to buy stuff off your website! I've got three kids and no money to purchase your magic weight-loss pill or bust enhancement, or whatever else you might be selling. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you! :)
