New Opportunities

First of all, has it seriously been almost a month since my last post?!?! I'm so sorry about that and even more thankful that you're still hanging around here. You are the truly the best! I feel honored to have your loyal support.

Over the past month, I've had the blessing to work with some of the most talented ladies in the event planning business including Sandra Downie Events, Frog Prince Paperie, and Southern Belle's Charm.

I can't wait to see how my friends styled my products with their heavenly charm. All of these ladies have impeccable taste with perfect attention to detail.

On a completely personal note, separate from TiTi's TuTu's, God has finally opened a door I'd been dying to bust down on my own! That door leads directly into the event planning world.

I have accepted a position as Party Stylist for a charming local boutique. The Little Shop, located in Tioga Town Center, is now my new playground.

A the Shop, I get to be part of an amazing team of talented party planners and designers working together to make dreams come true. It's an opportunity for me to execute my gifts while continuing to stay home with my babies. The best of both worlds!

Check out their new photo album on Facebook called Boutique Parties to see some of my team's most recent work. We will be updating constantly, please make sure you 'like' the page so you don't miss out on anything.

The Little Shop sells unique gifts and toys, high-end designer clothes, and consignment. It also boasts a large indoor play area complete with a tree house, slide, dress up area, and imaginative play area. The Creation Station is an arts and crafts room where children can paint right on the walls among other crafts available!

Check out their website for more information and details on memberships.

This new chapter in my life is one I couldn't have even imagined for myself. Blessings have been falling on my lap straight from heaven. I get to work with other positive and loving people who truly value my ideas while doing what I love to do (with my kids in tow).

I'm glad I waited for the right opportunity and I look forward to the future.

Sadly, this new opportunity means I have to cut back on my time as TiTi's TuTu's so I can continue to devote adequate time to my family but, I'll continue to do all I can to meet my clients' requests and keep life balanced.

Thank you for reading!

Makeover Update

I've got to do a better job keeping up with this blog! Thanks to all of you who still read it even as random as my posting is.

First things first...Let the record show that I'm dying to share my baby girl's birthday photos with you. I know that's what you want to see. But, I'm not quite ready so, in the meantime, let's humor ourselves with my own birthday pictures.

Two weeks ago I turned the big 3-0! To celebrate, I chopped off my hair, got new highlights, pierced my ears with my babygirl, and ate until the elastic on my empire waist dress had no more give. It was a GOOD week!

Here are a few photos to share the moments with you.

My Baby Girl and I right after getting our ears pierced. She was such a trooper!

Gotta love family! Here is mine, dancing the Just Dance version of the Birthday song on the Wii the morning after my birthday. That's how it's done in 2011, baby!

Here I am with my new "Mature Girl" look about to blow out the candle and have my Birthday Shot at Girl's Night out.

My birthday was spectacular, thanks to my adoring Hubby who planned more than I could've ever dreamed of: massage, pedicure, make-up, manicure, out of town dinner-date, family breakfast, and girls night out! He went totally overboard. Thank you, Honey!!!!

On another note, there are so many exciting things in store for the fall I can hardly wait!! I'll share those next week... Have a fabulous weekend!!!

Thanks for reading.

{Music Monday} Joivan Jimenez

Music Monday is extra special for me when I get to feature a personal friend. A few weeks back I introduced you to the amazing Kelsi Maria, which I'm confident you're following and enjoying as much as I am. She's an incredibly talented young lady from whom you will be hearing more and more, for sure.

Today, I get to feature another great friend, Joivan Jimenez. Joivan's music is in Spanish, but I hear there is an English album in the works.

The last 10 years I've known Joivan he has been a man with a mission and a passion. He loves God, Loves people and Loves music. He gets to spend his days in a house full of gorgeous women, all featured in this video.

Joivan's style is very unique. His contemporary songs have a positive message sprinkled with a fun little latin spice. Joivan has been working tirelessly the past few years bringing a positive message to people in different countries through concerts and mission trips.

I hope you enjoy his songs and make sure you follow him on Facebook and Youtube.

{TuTu Tuesday} Beachfront TuTu

Summer is quickly becoming my favorite seasons of the year. Between lazy long days at the pool, fun times at the splash park, carefree afternoons grilling out and eating fresh fruits, oh and don't forget, three of the four of us have birthdays within one month of each other.

Sumer is a busy time around here, which makes weekend getaways to the beach a family favorite. Lucky for us, we have dozens of beaches within one hour's drive from home.

Today's tutu was shot in St. Augustine, one of my favorite beaches to take the family. The Beachfront TuTu has a soothing blend of blues, turquoise, and green perfect for sea side portraits.
