When you have two kids and you finally decide it's time to make that all important once in a lifetime (probably) trip to the magical world of Disney is your first thought of Space Mountain? Princesses?Mickey Mouse? Cinderella's Castle?...</div>
<div align="center">
Well, I guess those were my first thoughts as well, but my second thought was, it's called Disney WORLD, how can I make my kids easier to keep track of?</div>

This started out to be a tutorial on how to make a princess dress...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1FjxQmwklzY1pvknEVPPf0fAOccVpRYVSwb4ghg1XdVNVu_onlHWwGEoEcaE94k19-CtBlnPqnU5yXjoXYTLZiMQP9gLaax4m16vxRvy14YWilR7kfUMUUmsh6opex6p_-ulY0CO6scL/s1600/IMG_6060.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX1FjxQmwklzY1pvknEVPPf0fAOccVpRYVSwb4ghg1XdVNVu_onlHWwGEoEcaE94k19-CtBlnPqnU5yXjoXYTLZiMQP9gLaax4m16vxRvy14YWilR7kfUMUUmsh6opex6p_-ulY0CO6scL/s640/IMG_6060.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But then it morphed into "How to survive making a princess dress"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctomVRCd7aWK9WJR1p4tktcteMoX4279MgqHnTq6G0dn2bIh8SIi6It35FsvvYjT1rn_4Aq7FoTuR9f7GNnBh3zpnpZWsYPVDLKgYDGgxtJTxWtzyAZATtSl0v2n1a5FEtHLuDOYWVFwI/s1600/IMG_6065.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjctomVRCd7aWK9WJR1p4tktcteMoX4279MgqHnTq6G0dn2bIh8SIi6It35FsvvYjT1rn_4Aq7FoTuR9f7GNnBh3zpnpZWsYPVDLKgYDGgxtJTxWtzyAZATtSl0v2n1a5FEtHLuDOYWVFwI/s640/IMG_6065.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now it's basically more of a "Look! I made a princess dress!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(maybe it should have been a tutorial on how to take a picture without your thumb in it!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then it changed into something else entirely when, after carefully watching my processes in making the princess dress, Noah asked if he could try making something...</div>

Hmmm, sew like mom?</div>

Ok, it's been a while since I last blogged, so I thought my first post should be something big, something exciting and dramatic, something glamorous!<br />
Exciting, dramatic, glamorous?<br />
Of course I am talking about the bathroom!<br />
It's been on the list since the day we moved into the house over 8 years ago, but it didn't jump to the top of the list until we visited Architectural Salvage and hit the jackpot...</div>

Jackpot = gorgeous solid wood single panel door which fit in place without requiring long hours of tiny adjustments...<br />
The door replaced a hollow core monstrosity, and immediately began to highlight the shabbiness of my bathroom...<br />

Sadly, nothing short of a major reconstruction would be able to increase the size of the bathroom, but the shabbiness was something we could change...</div>

Spoiler Alert:</div>

Ok then! On to Step 4: Cutting the hardy-backer board to the correct sizes and screwing them securely to the wall and floor...<br />
Translation:<br />
Struggling to score the hardy-backer (which resists such abuse) then struggling to get said boards screwed into the walls, which are covered in lath which you cannot screw into, and studs which are absent from the corner meaning that you must stop and engineer a false stud in order to ensure that the wall doesn't flex....etc. etc. etc....<br />

Ok, fine, it's only 8pm, we got this, lets move onto Step 5: tiling the floor...<br />

It's now approaching 1am, and I have hit that point where I regret ever beginning this project, what were we thinking?!!! I hate tile! I hate all tile! In fact, I hate bathrooms! I hate all bathrooms! <br />
It is at this point that I blearily decide we should just drop everything and move!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDYGcVBClwu1scgK2Z4BjZ1Rnay9cc_5fAA9mYWS21djL5xY0ZC5hnAcpheO5SsGleBTSmS44t1NygAIoXBQqikdkyl1Z4X5RossLLIYZ9v-fKyKa3hv5DN-DWc-SryYMmVAc6zB6H8sr/s1600/IMG_1160.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDDYGcVBClwu1scgK2Z4BjZ1Rnay9cc_5fAA9mYWS21djL5xY0ZC5hnAcpheO5SsGleBTSmS44t1NygAIoXBQqikdkyl1Z4X5RossLLIYZ9v-fKyKa3hv5DN-DWc-SryYMmVAc6zB6H8sr/s640/IMG_1160.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
But then...it's done!<br />
Step 6: drop lifelessly into bed and hope that when we wake up the house elves will have come and completed the project...<br />
Ok, Day 2! Looking slightly crazed, we move into the continuation of the previous nights tiling efforts, getting the wall tiles up!<br />
This process was relatively smooth, except for that moment when I thought I was finished and had started to pack things up only to realize that I had forgotten to tile that one thin strip of wall (visible behind me in the picture above) and had to set back up and keep going! UGH! Mental head slap!<br />

Ok, Step 6,7,8 and 9...or something...<br />
The sneaky thing no one tells you about tiling, is that as laborious as laying the tile is, it is actually just as much work, and maybe more work, to grout the tile, and once you grout it you must scrub it all down! (I watch HGTV, they never show these steps)<br />
On the plus side, it is the best arm workout imaginable...wax on, wax off! Grout on! Grout off!<br />

Well, winding things down now, we ended up living without a bathroom sink for a week...<br />

But once installed it proudly grants the bathroom user an extra 2 inches of leg room, a vast improvement over the previous situation although we who live here are probably the only ones who can truly appreciate such things...<br />

The claw foot tub proved to be just as beastly to get back into the bathroom, but it now stands painted and proud, ready to be refinished as soon as we can get a professional in to do so...<br />

As many of you know, I am a group exercise fitness instructor, I teach a 60 minute weight training class, and pilates classes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pilates is my passion, I love the focus on core strength, the increased sense of balance and posture, and the overall sense of wellness that this class brings me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pilates and Yoga share some similarities, but there are many differences as well, and since I have been teaching pilates for two years now, I've decided to expand my horizons and become Yoga certified!</div>

Noah will soon be participating in a barnyard "moosical" put on by Clayton Elementary's 1st grade classes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has a singing part and everything!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The catch? Parents are expected to make the costumes...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, problem, Noah's class is set to be cows, so I instantly plan to take a page from my friend Anna's book and haul out the white sweatshirt and black felt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then Noah says he'd rather be a bull...</div>

I never believed in Santa...it's not a sad thing for me, I was mostly creeped out by the idea of a stranger sneaking into my house in the middle of the night, and no amount of presents dispelled the discomfort of that concept.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtVtpk6_ktOZpfBbmHGoSNFBknRS9_aL6ZYAFe5cOsWVLip4HDSRhqk0T1jI-v9Qb3bg8AW5MJUibFOMOczwfep7bGA0rzdwR1snq_qRKEEtmgAvWeD3izzoMsVqKJILYphwOj26eZVam/s1600/IMG_5373.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwtVtpk6_ktOZpfBbmHGoSNFBknRS9_aL6ZYAFe5cOsWVLip4HDSRhqk0T1jI-v9Qb3bg8AW5MJUibFOMOczwfep7bGA0rzdwR1snq_qRKEEtmgAvWeD3izzoMsVqKJILYphwOj26eZVam/s1600/IMG_5373.JPG" height="640" width="480"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I never intended to play the Santa card with my kids, I wasn't against it exactly, I just figured I wouldn't make a big deal of it, wouldn't stand in line for him, wouldn't create traditions around him, and I certainly wouldn't give him credit for the excellent gifts that I purchased for my little ones...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It's craft fair season again...Only 7 Fridays until Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that means you will find my in my creative work room, building up my stock for two upcoming events!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first event is a Holiday Boutique Craft Sale in Pueblo on the River walk. The sale is November 15 and 16 (My first two day event) hosted by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BellezzaDesignBoutiqueStudio?ref=br_tf">Bellezza Boutique</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My second event is the <a href="http://www.fairsandfestivals.net/events/details/englewood-high-school-craft-fair">Englewood High School Craft Fair</a> happening on November 22nd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm getting pretty excited, playing...I mean working with all my beautiful fabrics and coming up with new concepts and items to sell is one of my favorite things to do!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since there isn't much time before my first sale, I thought I'd take the opportunity to begin my countdown and share some of the items I've been working on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm particularly excited about my appliqued dinosaur shirts for girls! A friend pointed out to me recently that while you can find unlimited quantities of princess everything for girls, you would be hard pressed to find anything as untraditionally girly as a dinosaur shirt!</div>

Take minute and think back to Halloween when you were little...</div>
<div align="center">
Remember how excruciatingly long the day was as you waited for trick-or-treat time all through breakfast, dragged through lunch, and tried to speed your way through dinner?</div>
<div align="center">
Hold on to that feeling of excitement and expectation...</div>
<div align="center">
Now imagine that you woke up and realized that you forgot to go trick or treating?! </div>
<div align="center">
Complete devastation, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, as most of you know, we decorated for Halloween this weekend, and just before bed time, Gianna experienced this apocalyptic devastation when she all of a sudden turned to me and yelled, "Mom! WE FORGOT TO GO TRICK OR TREATING!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyZLZtISC-FSDPOIxohLkikGl_OhpP4Jx6a1CAEpFynOw00U-dUqHwszEcYibWT3UhWudgOgccSsPRoznDv2rjmYsvF7zQzuLGoQmzc-qIiG-E_vGMQiqGDflSEGn62OWcTFR6lDvkLOk/s1600/IMG_9868.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisyZLZtISC-FSDPOIxohLkikGl_OhpP4Jx6a1CAEpFynOw00U-dUqHwszEcYibWT3UhWudgOgccSsPRoznDv2rjmYsvF7zQzuLGoQmzc-qIiG-E_vGMQiqGDflSEGn62OWcTFR6lDvkLOk/s1600/IMG_9868.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then the lip quivered and the tears came, and no amount of desperate explanation made it any better, she was convinced that since we had decorated it must be trick or treat day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was heartbreaking, so...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I did what any self respecting, desperate mother would do, I created the nightly trick-or-treat from mommy solution! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We now get jammies on, brush teeth, read books, and just before bed, the kids grab their trick-or-treat buckets and happily stand before me with grins a mile wide. They utter that time worn phrase, and I place a small piece of candy in their bucket. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The candy is not to be eaten until Halloween night when they are each allowed to select 3 pieces, but they seem to enjoy the game and the added anticipation.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(It should be noted that Noah undertood the concept of Halloween being on the 31st just fine, but still thought the early trick-or-idea was genius!)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was an unexpected, and unexpectedly intense moment!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We weathered the storm, and can I just say...</div>

Of course, I'm not a brand new mom, I've fielded toddler teething situations, so while my initial reaction is to yell "don't lick the rock, are you serious?!" mostly I'm amused...more so when she immediately drops the rock but continues on with a piece of grass stuck to her face!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok, ok, I only thought she had licked it, when confronted with my squeal of "Don't lick the car!!!", she sweetly informed me that she only kissed the car! </div>
