Inexplicable

I'm not a big TV watcher, nothing against it, no moral statements here. Having read some of the posts on http://readthebee.blogspot.com/ , (check it out, way too funny) I believe I am in the minority and pitifully out of the loop. Well, I have been watching some TV this evening which I don't normally do on Saturday and I've seen several commercials for (I guess) a new series on TLC. The series is titled "I didn't know I was pregnant." Huh? Maybe the Bee will check this one out and give us her take on it. I probably won't watch the show as I'll forget to tune in but I believe I would like to know what's up with that. In fact, I am inviting the bee to do a guest post right here on cuteasabuggy as soon as the series airs! What do you say bee?

Happy 4th of July!

Celebrate the day July 4, 2009!

Rockin' For A Reason

What a really fun day! Yesterday we held the 2nd Annual Rockin For A Reason Charity Festival. It was held at Trent Hill Farm in Lothian, MD which is just south of Annapolis. The event was held to benefit We Care & Friends, a local charitable organization. The weather was perfect, food was great and the beer was flowing. We had a silent auction with some amazing items. There was live music all day with six different bands playing. We had Mama Jama, Talk Is Cheap, Clones Of Funk, Mike McHenry's Tribe, Dean Rosenthal, Riverside. The Farm is a beautiful spot to be on a nice day!

LAX

Lots of the clothes I make and sell on my Etsy site are appliqued. I'm loving the appliques with frayed edges right now, great look. So, a friend of mine is the Grand Poobah of a kids' lacrosse league and they had a big tournament weekend recently. Normally at these tournaments, whatever the sport, they have vendors selling....stuff your kids think they need. My friend asked if I could come up with something I could make and sell for the girls as she had a vendor selling boys things. Two hours later I was immersed in lacrosse. A simple idea formed and away we go. I sold T-shirts and flip flops, everything sold fairly well and the weather and the people were great. It was a good weekend. My very favorite idea though was a t-shirt I made for the little ones, size 2-4. The appliques are made of fabric with the frayed edges and on the sizes 8 (kids) and up to XL (adults) I simply put LAX but on the little ones I spelled out Lil Stix. Too cute and you know I sold all of those. I did get a picture of one little cutie pie wearing his shirt.

Congratulations Dee, send me an email address and I will send your gift card right along to you. Thanks for all the great comments, don't stop them coming!

Our Patriots!

I just listed these two cuties on Buggys.etsy.com and they are so adorable I just had to share! One for the boys and one for the girls. They are both perfect for the 4th of July Holiday and the rest of the summer as well. I am too practical (frugal?) to go for those one time wear clothes, especially with kids...they grow out of everything quickly enough! Order now and there is plenty of time to get your orders before the 4th.

Did you hear that??

The Bug has a new toothbrush and she couldn't be more impressed with it. Anything to make her enjoy a chore like brushing her teeth or taking a bath works for me.

In the past its been flavored toothpaste (which I have to say I think is disgusting - call me crazy but there is just something about the taste of minty toothpaste that says "clean" to me and the bubblegum flavor just isn't cutting it). This time however the "coolness factor" is something she and I can both agree on. Her toothbrush plays music ... I know, I know, that doesn't sound very exciting or original to you but it's even cooler than that. You can't actually hear the music unless you are brushing your teeth. Its the contact btween the bristles and your teeth that allows your inner ear to hear the music. It's a little bit freaky and feels a bit strange but still - very cool! What song does her play?? "We Will Rock You" by Queen (a bit odd for a child's toothbrush but she LOVES it)
