Dance, dance, dance....

My little dancers...

had a very busy week at dance competitions. Kiki's jazz group brought home a silver medal and Mo's tap group captured the gold! Both Mo's lyrical and jazz groups showed a vast improvement and even managed to land in the medal spots (for lyrical) this time around. Both the jazz and lyrical groups have a lot of new dancers and so they are still working out the kinks. Maybe next year they'll be contenders for those number one spots!





I'm so proud of my girls...they just glow on the stage. Kiki's smile covers her whole face and when she dances she has so much energy that it's infectious. Mo's talent in tap continues to blow me away! I love to watch her dance and my mind often wanders back to 6 years ago...she was so shy and so afraid to leave me for dance class that I would literally have to put my foot on her bottom and push her through the door. I'd shut it quickly and pray that she wouldn't remain on the floor crying the entire time. Very often she would just sit while the other girls danced and sang. I thought that she would never overcome her severe shyness, and so now when I see her up on stage dancing, piroetting and jetteing across the floor with a huge smile on her face I'm so proud because only she and I know how very far she has come!




Zee continues to amaze me with his love for learning. He's reading on his own and asking daily for his school lesson. The other day he took it upon himself to complete his Pre-K workbook and afterward told me that he's ready for university now! He's also becoming quite the cassonova...he's telling my friends that he loves them, that he'll be dreaming of them and he's always singing songs to all the pretty girls. He even blew a kiss to a gorgeous 17 year old blond chickie from dance the other day. I'm not quite sure where he's learning this stuff...I have to believe it's innate because he does not see it on TV and certainly never hears his father say stuff like that out loud! My little heartbreaker....

Scents and Scents-ability

Before I became a Mommy I was a working girl. And when I was a working girl, I was a GOOD smelling working girl. I had my favorites--Tresor, Poison, Giorgio, Ysatis, Tuscany per Donna, Eternity by Calvin Klein, Perry Ellis and Alfred Sung. I had so many perfumes--and I loved them all! Then I became a Mommy and I did away with all my perfumed-ness. Why? I guess I didn't want my baby to have to breathe all that while s/he was trying to nurse. Perfumed flavored milk? Yucky! And...I never went out so why did I need to smell pretty? Wasn't smelling like breast milk, puke and baby poop enough of a sensory overload? Now I'm two things: Mommy and Working Girl. But I'm not a breastfeeding Mommy so you know what that means... BRING ON THE PERFUME!! The other day I went to the store and I was bowled over by the choices! Givenchy has a million scents now, JLo has like three kinds, and then there's that Ed Hardy guy with the fabulous name-- Christian Audidgi

The earth stood still today. No, it wasn't because the planets were aligned. No, it wasn't because yesterday's date was 10/10/10 (which happens only once every 1000 years) No, it wasn't because the month of October has 5 Fridays, 5 Saturdays and 5 Sundays, in it which, according to Facebook (and we know how reliable that is),only happens once every 823 years. No, it was more phenomenal then all of that. It was because I ironed. Sheets. Yes, I actually ironed sheets. Now, you need to understand that I only pick up my iron to move it from one location to another. Typically if something needs ironing one of three things happens: 1. it stays wrinkled 2. it hangs in my closet until gravity pulls the wrinkles out over time 3. I go and buy a new item of clothing. I just don't iron! So why did I do it today, you may ask? It was my front load washer and dryer's fault. It made Kiki's new bedding so wrinkly that I just could not stand to let

Well if this doesn't completely rock your socks then I don't know what will: Taylor Lautner AND Tom Cruise staring in a movie.. together l  And it's about airplanes!   It's TOP GUN all over again people!  I'm just too excited for words. Now, yes, I admit, Tom did crash and burn in my books after the couch incident on Oprah; and after marrying Katie whats-her-name, but all in all, I still like him.  As long as he doesn't open his mouth except to speak his lines in a movie. And Taylor Lautner.  I know, right?  What a beauty!  I don't have a crush or anything on him (puhlease, I could be his MOTHER!) but my eyes do appreciate the view when he's on the screen.  Yes, my eyes, and ONLY my eyes.  Now, as far as crushes go, you need to talk to my daughter.   Taylor adorns practically every inch of her bedroom walls. So, depending on the rating of this movie, I think daughter and mother will go together and both of us will drool.... Age appropriately, o
