I did it. I went overboard. The details, the food, the outfits, the decor…Pink. All Pink. Pink everything, and then maybe a little white. But I didn’t stop there. I needed astro jumps. And the perfect cake, and the not-so-perfect attempt to making Martha Stewart decor. Oh wait…what did I miss? That’s...
I want to be your friend so I can come hang out with you guys

June 7, 2006 my baby girl was born. You can imagine how shocked I was to see a baby of mine pop out with jet black, thick, beautiful Polynesian hair. When the nurse laid her on me after I gave birth, I was in serious shock.
Why?
Because I was completely bald until the age...

Wow Melissa! She is so photogenic! I am glad you let her be a tomboy! Too many Mom’s try to force their girls to be the girlie girls they want them to be. And yes, her hair is amazing!!! She looks like an angel in the last one.
Thanks Amanda
