Finally the words have come to my mouth...

When its time to start a new chapter in your life, the old chapter isn't sure if its finished. Whenever it's time to move on from anything or have a change of direction in life, I feel like something knocks on your door and makes you question your decision to make a change. It's like some sort of natural force wants to make sure you truly are ready to move on. I have found this happen to many people I know and myself. Some how nature has a way of challenging every decision we make in this life. I tend to always question big decisions I make, but somehow always stick to my initial intuition and move on. There have been so many chapters in my life, this monday it's a whole new one starting.
Tomorrow is last day I will be working as Volunteer Coordinator for a hospice company. I have lost many people that I have become very close to this year working in hospice. The one thing that's so beautiful about the job I am leaving behind, is that every single day I was helping someone in some way or another. Little or big, it made a big difference to those patients and families lives. I have become more compassionate and have much more respect for the elderly. I always find a way to help my patients live better lives. Last week I found my patients step father who she hasn't seen in 30 years.
It's scary to move on, but I know this is the right decision for me at this time. I will make a promise to myself to always help others and to make someones day a little better every single day. It's important to do and we must not ever forget that. Give a little whenever you can. Whether it be a smile, letting someone in on the highway, giving food to a homeless person or doing a favor for a friend. Life is too short to live any other way.

What a Weekend!

Texas is beautiful! I didn't really feel this way until I went to Concan, Texas this past weekend. I have always heard that there were some beautiful landscapes in Texas, but i have always had a hard time believing it.We went hiking, kayaking, swimming in the river, swimming in the lake and star gazing! It seriously was a fantastic trip! Concan is gorgeous. It's surrounded by trees, hills, a clear blue river, wildflowers and incredibly nice people. If you ever have a chance to take a trip to Concan, I completely recommend it. It's definitely a relaxing vacation where you can get your mind off things.
The whole trip I felt like a kid with no worries, but what was for dinner (I know, fatty), but I have always been that way. Speaking of dinner, I have a little funny story to tell. My partner and I went to this little steakhouse the first night we were there because we had no food until our friends arrived. We decided to order chopped sirloin. I thought chopped sirloin was something completely different than what it actually was. Chopped Sirloin is a burger patty. I am sure everyone knows that out there besides me and my partner. Well anyways, I ordered mine medium and my partner ordered his medium rare. When they got to the table, they were rock solid and seemed like they were cooked more than well-done. I was going to complain about the steak, but the sweet cook came out and said her husband always asked for medium rare, but she wasn't going to let anyone eat that bacteria found in beef. I don't even know why she asked us what we wanted, since she already planned to turn our burgers into rock solid burgers. I couldn't complain after she came to the table so concerned about our health. It turned out that they always dreamed about opening their own steakhouse and it finally happened for them a few weeks ago. Who am I to destroy their dreams and tell them their steaks were not so great after all. Nevertheless, she gave us this huge piece of strawberry, cool whip cake to take back to the room. It was absolutely delicious and made up for everything! I was so happy to hear that the steakhouse has always been a dream of theirs to own and it finally had happened for them. Everyone out there, don't forget to dream and have hope for things to actually happen! I know not everything is possible, but many things are with the correct effort.
I still haven't figured out this whole blog thing by the way. I guess you can see that by my lack of comments on the questions I have asked. If you are out there, I still need your help and I am not going to give up. I think I have just been having a little bit too much fun this weekend and have not worked on getting this thing out there enough. But its coming and pretty soon I will have some beautiful, absolutely adorable baby clothing for all of you out there! Question for you (invisible person), what's your favorite baby brand?
I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.

Good old summer vacation....

I loved summer vacation when I was a child. The only worry that I had was if I were going to be bored having nothing important to do. I don't even think I worried about that much until it actually happened in the 70th day of being off for the summer. My brothers, friends and I would always find something to do. We would play hiding go seek, tag, cops and robbers, simon says and other random games I cannot even think of the name of anymore. It's amazing the ideas you come up with as a child. I remember my brother and I used to build huge tents in our living room and then we would put our industrial sized fans (because my dad limited our a.c. usage) under the blankets and create the most amazing fortress to hangout and sleep in. My best friend would come over and we created this kitchen game called Mama's Kitchen. We would mix anything that would create the most revolting concoction as possible and challenge one another to drink or eat the creations. Somehow we got a lot of pleasure out of drinking eggs yolks, Oreo cookies, tabasco sauce and mustard at the same time. We had a blast! I think the greatest thing about being a child is that you can use your imagination and have with just about anything!
Young at heart I will always be....

DIGG!! I Digg you.

Day two and I feel like I am possibly getting somewhere with this whole blog thing and I just might stop talking to myself. www.digg.com is such an awesome site! I am enjoying reading others peoples postings and hope people start reading mine. If there are any tips out there on how to best use Digg please let me know. The internet truly is such a beautiful thing when you know how to use it! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love getting away from the virtual world, turning off my phone and being free from contact with the outside world, but in the past two days I have gotten so much done with my baby brand online and feel like I am slowly, but surely getting somewhere! Woooooohoooo!
By the way, Babies Deserve Best is not the name of my baby brand, but it is the purpose of my blog. I would love to start an online community where new moms and moms in general can feel a sense of community to share their beautiful stories about their babies, funny stories, express their opinions, or share their concerns. I want to hear from parents out there and know what their troubles are in finding the right baby products for their little one, or previous little ones for that matter. I don't have to solve all the problems with my baby clothing, but at least this could be some sort of forum where someone will possibly give you the answers that you are looking for. When my brand is launched, I want that sense of community to be embedded in my brand from the very beginning, through this blog, the charity events I am going to host under my brands name and the ways we are going to give back to the world.
I am starting my baby brand with socks and scratch mittens. So far, the issues I have come across for mothers is that they don't stay on their babies feet and hands. Is this right?
I hope you are having a beautiful day out there...

Once upon a time....

Day one of a very long, but exciting journey in starting my baby brand. You see, I don't have a baby myself yet, but absolutely love high quality, adorable baby products and have lots of ideas for my own brand that I think you are going to love. I know there are many brands out there that offer beautiful, absolutely precious baby clothing, but I am going to be offering something a little different. I know everyone says that, but just wait and see :). This is my very first time I have ever blogged, so I am not even sure if I am doing this correctly. I might end up talking to myself for about a year before I figure out how to communicate to the outside world with this thing.
Moms? Moms to be? Dads? Dads to be? Are you out there? Because I need your help to get things going. Even when I fully get things going and have a product that you can visually see (wouldn't that be amazing), I am going to still love your input and would love to use this blog as a discussion forum for parents out there that have questions that need to be answered about their own babies. I may not be able to answer your question, but I am sure someone out there will be able to help you!
