My good friend Tanya is here for a visit this week and I am so excited. We will be heading out for a day of shopping and girlie activities. It will be nice to leave all the testosterone at home and get some well deserved me time! We are planning a day of shopping, lunch and dinner out, and just a little R&R. Everyone just needs a time out from time to time, so I am greatly looking forward to a little “me time” break!
Venettini Shoes…Total class for your little guy or gal

For almost 20 years, Venettini has been designing and manufacturing luxury children’s footwear with a large emphasis on fashion and style. Founded in 1989, the brand has grown steadily under the management of Kinderland Inc, a family business dedicated to designing, manufacturing, and distributing high-end and luxury children’s footwear. Fashion, fit and comfort are the driving forces behind Vennetini designs.
When it comes to dressing my boys, I must admit (sheepishly), that I love putting on all their new clothes and shoes. I am happy in my sweats, but love to give my boys the best fitting clothes and shoes. I know for me, when it comes to shoes, I look for a shoe that is well made and comfortable. Venettini shoes offer both when it comes to shoes for children.
When opening the boxes for the first time, I was busy ohhing and ahhing over how adorable and classy these shoes look and feel. Both of my boys (they are only 2) were already telling me to put them on… “On mommy on” as they would say. I guess they love their new shoes too, because they ask to wear them all the time now. I don’t think I will ever return to the realm of boring, clunky, and uncomfortable shoes for my kids again.
The new Fall/Winter collection is to die for with adorable names like Bert, Ace, Billy and Able just to name a few. Whether you are getting your little ones all gussied up for the holidays or just going out on the town, Venettini shoes will compliment any outfit, and are total class right down to the tiniest details. Venettini will definitely be top choice in my new shoe addiction, when it comes to buying new shoes for my little men. Venettini shoes can be found at Zappos.com or Endless.com
Running out of ideas

I have determined that I need to come up with some fresh ideas for meals for the kiddos. They seem to be getting bored with the current menu and so am I. It is so hard to be original when you are making three meals a day for little one and I want them to maintain interest in foods that are good for them. I guess I need to figure out a new presentation for everyday foods. I guess I will start delving into the cookbooks again to figure out some creative ideas. At least they eat their fruits and vegetables so that’s one battle I don’t have to overcome.
