What's in a Name?

In the spirit of Mi Rosita, and the Baby Shower that we're having today, to celebrate her, I'm going to blog about her. Yes, Mi Rosita has been on every one's mind lately. Her mommy gave us all a big scare, earlier this week. When we thought she was going into labor. Before her Baby Shower! I know. That's our fault. As in, our group of friends. The summer has been a busy one, for all of us! And we just kept postponing this thing.

But today, as I get the last minute details together, I can't help but think about Mi Rosita. And all that she's going to be. The simple task, of coming up with her middle name, is a tough one. One that A and I are struggling with.



For all, but one of my Goddaughters, I've been asked to come up with a middle name. I've been part of the 2 man crew, whose job is to pick the perfect name. A name that goes well with her first name, that her padres picked out. But a name that means something. That symbolizes something we, as Godparents, want to instill in our Goddaughter. A name that will describe our love.

This is not A and I's first time either. We've been a part of this rodeo, a time or two. Something that we're familiar to. But not completely at ease with. Our Compadres A, haven't made it too easy either. They're still debating on a few names. And A and I, we've narrowed down our list. It's tough. This little princess is going to have this name for life. It's got to be perfect!

Yes, her presents are finished. Perfectly wrapped. And all the decorations are sitting neatly in my car. Food is ready. And we have a little bit of preparation left to do, closer to "party time." But we're ready.

Mi Rosita's name, not so much. But the 4 of us are hard at work. I'm pretty sure, the minute we see this sweet little girl, her name will just speak to us. We'll have found the perfect name for her. The name that was meant for her, and her alone.

Yes, we take this whole Godparent, naming, loving thing seriously around here. Because it's the only way to do it! Mi Rosita, we love you so much. And can't wait to meet you. Just a few days left. But today, we're going to have some fun. And later, finish up your nursery! ♫

Gala Design

I recently found the Etsy shop, Gala Design. Oh my goodness! They have some of the most beautiful pieces of jewelry. I've never wanted every single item from an Etsy Shop before. But this shop, well, can I have one of each? PLEASE!

Here are some of my favorites. They're just gorgeous. And I'm already trying to figure out, just how to save all of my pennies. The pieces aren't ridiculously expensive. But for me, I'm going to have to do some saving up.



The Olivia Earrings. Perfect for casual days. Something I can throw on any old day. And still feel "put together."



The Rosalie Earrings are a fun set. With a nice "pop" of color. And the perfect amount of femininity.



Talk about fun! These Dandelion Earrings just make me smile. From the name, to the design, they're just fun!



The Ella Earrings, are simple and gorgeous! Who wouldn't want a pair of these? They also happen to remind me of my birthstone. Total bonus!



The last piece, well it's my favorite! The Harper Necklace. I'd treasure this piece. I just love the beautiful, and simple design. Something fun, and timeless.

What do you think? Aren't they just amazing? Maybe if I'm good, I'll get my favorite piece for Christmas. That doesn't seem too bad. Right? Oh, I'm off to go stare at the Shop page some more! ♫

Friday Fill In #32



This has been an interesting week. It started out bumpy, but has turned out to be a good week. A busy week. But a good week! Now I'm in overdrive. Trying to get everything done, for this weekend. I'm sure it will get done. One way or another. But I needed to take a break, and do my Friday Fill-Ins. Happy Friday!

1. The only question is, how in the world, am I going to get, to where I want to be.

2. I wish I could clean my yard in one day.

3. Three things on my desk: a vase of pink roses, a cup of pens, and a glass of pineapple juice.

4. Deciding on a final internship, for this semester, is the one thing I HAVE to do today!

5. I love playing with my Goddaughters.

6. Horrible cologne/perfume overwhelms the senses.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to a long night of hard work in the PICU, tomorrow my plans include finishing up some gifts and baking, and Sunday, I want to have fun with my friends! ♫

Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

I'm in a very good mood today. It might have something to do with, watching my favorite Marilyn Monroe movie, last night. That's right, Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend. So I want to share the love...



I hope everyone has a great Friday! I'll be singing this song all day long. With a BIG smile on my face. I just love when something so simple, puts me in such a great mood! ♫

Friday Fill In #31



Why has this felt like the longest week ever? I seriously want to crawl into bed and stay there for a week. It's just been a tough week. And I'm more than happy, that it's over! But I can't kick off the weekend, without my Friday Fill-Ins. :)

1. How can I possibly get through all of this?

2. You'd never find me smoking weed, I LOVE my brain too much!

3. My hair needs some serious help.

4. This year was my High School 10 year reunion, and I didn't go.

5. My favorite summer fruits are berries and peaches.

6. Boom...what was that?

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to some rest, tomorrow my plans include yard work and Sunday, I want to enjoy a little bit of life! ♫
