School Days

It's been awhile since I posted, mostly because life has been kind a maze for me adjusting to a new place in RL and lots of SL changes happening.  Things are settling down now and I think I'm going to start blogging again not that any of you care what I'm doing day to day... hehe.  I just think this would be a cool way to document my whereabouts and use it as a journal in a sense.

As you know a new semester has started at the best school in SL, Oceanside and I'm really excited about the class I chose to take this semester.  Miss Lishi is a wonderful teacher and I only got to go to one class of the two so far but I've learned a crapload (crap is a new word she taught us but her said not to use it oops).

I had to take a potty break during class though because I chugged a whole bunch of Tang before I went to school and while I was there I decide I should take one of those awesome mirror shots hehe so here it is.



That shirt was a gift a few years ago from Emma Gilmour to anyone who bought something during her fundraiser for a new laptop after she spilled milkshake on hers. Check out her shop called Surf Co it's really for adults but she's got a lot of awesome stuff that works for kids too and some of the cutest flats. That hair is from Truth of course and the skin is from Laq. I made my own shape and I'd be happy to help you with one if you'd like or you can check out my store I have some for sale upstairs. That cute princess crown necklace was a gift from Lacie Chambers who owns the store Laciecakes and you can purchase it there. The pose is from Glitterati by one of my super awesome friends Katey Coppola and the cell phone is included with the pose purchase if you buy the big pack.

Been awhile...

It's been a little white since I wrote here, mainly because I retreated into my black hole again but I'm out and about and really enjoying SL again.  I'm so excited that Jace Corvale is teaching again and I'm loving his Young Citizens class at Oceanside Elementary!  Oh and I made dance team too.. it's almost like I'm living my SL in flash back and I love it!  It's been nearly 2 years since I enjoyed going to SL school and this feeling of being a kid again has been a long time coming.  We had to paint a self portrait during class and I was a bit nervous about it as I'm terrible at things like this but it was pretty fun and I thought I'd peek in here tell you what's up in my SL lately and share with you my self portrait no matter how embarrassing it is.

So grateful...

Today was a very exciting day for me in RL and in SL.  Today we held my sons 1st birthday party and had a blast... most of you know the story behind my miracle son and for those who don't just a quick recap.  I hadn't known I was pregnant the entire time I was carrying my son which meant no prenatal vitamins or checkups or weigh ins or anything leading up to his arrival in  the world and I thank God that he is a healthy lil chunky boy and he brings so much joy to my life.  Today was a very special day for me, a chance to celebrate a year of his life.

For SL it was also a great day for me.. today has been my highest selling day for 50L Friday since it started almost a year ago.  I can't even put into words how grateful I am for the support that you all show me and the other designers when you go around every week to shop on Friday for our specials.  Not to mention for every time that you purchase something from Baby Couture and for the excitement you show after every release.

I'm grateful for Second Life and for all of my customers who allow me the chance to work from home and to be there for my son daily and not have to go work a 9-5 and only get to spend a few hours with him during the day.  It's always been very important to me to raise my children and to not have a daycare raising them. (Not meaning anything down on mothers who do take their children to daycare). It's just not something I've ever wanted to do and I can't tell you enough how thankful I am for my customers and for this chance you've all allowed me to have.  It means so much to me that you would even consider buying my stuff and I just want to say thank you for making this all possible.

The outfit from todays 50L Friday was a somewhat new style for me mixing a few difference combinations that I've done previously and it's named after my real life grandmother who is such an encouraging woman and who I've grown to love very much this past year.  We were never very close before I had my son but taking him to visit her almost every weekend and seeing how much she loves him makes me smile to know that when I was a child I was in good hands, even if only while at her home.


For those who haven't seen the outfit or haven't gotten down to grab it go ahead and get it while it's still 50L if you'd like to...

I've got SUNSHINE!!!

I typically ignore the posts that come through the kids groups.. not because I'm some big meanyhead but I just don't bother reading to majority of them.  A few stores I grab and glimpse over them but generally I don't read half that come through and more than not if it is a new store I totally overlook it.

That wasn't the case when the notice came through the other day for this new shop called Dandelions by Miss Britain Knave and I'm so glad I didn't ignore it.  I cannot say enough how adorable this bedroom set is.  I love the bright and fun summer colors so much.  This will most definitely be my bext bedroom set that I purchase for my room.. I love love love it

The above photos were taken at her shop which can be found across from Babydolls in the Bebe building.

Summer Daze

Hi everyone!  This is the first of a couple posts I'm gonna put up because I've got a lot to share but I don't want to have an extremely long babbly post that would be uber boring.  Last night I was hangin at home with Momma and she was swimmin in the pool but she wouldn't let me in and I didn't know why.  I had on this adorable outfit right and I didn't wanna go in and change and she said she won't let swim in my clothes. 

So I was like whatever and went out front to play but I got bored because no one was around and I remembered that Chelsea and Babydoll had been outside earlier in the day and drew a hopskotch board on their driveway so I snuck over and played for a little.  I'm so so glad Mr. Harrison didn't come out and catch me!
