A Mother’s Love

A Mother’s Love

I didn’t have to look into your eyes

to fall in love with you.

I didn’t need to hear you cry

to know you loved me too.

I didn’t need to hold your hand

to cherish you for always.

Within my womb, we shared our hearts.

You touched my soul.

You sweetened my spirit.

You gave me memories I’ll always hold dear.

Yes. My heart aches since you departed too soon.

But a mother’s love does not end with death.

For you are my child.

Forever my love is yours.

-KLS

Sunshine & Daisy…. Missing You.

BTM VS. ATM: Winter Boots

Posted on October 29, 2011 by Tova

Today is the first day of snow:

That’s our backyard. Apparently we didn’t put away the spring toys early enough. Who knew it would snow before November. Pretty depressing.

This morning I took Molly on a date. We went for coffee and bagels together. For the first time since last year I put on my snow boots and winter coat. Both were new purchases last winter, when I felt my heavy duty boots and heavy brown winter coat were just weighing me down. I put them on and was transported back to my mindset when I bought them last year- actively making the decision to purge from my life anything that dragged me down.

I upgraded my old heavy boots for these awesome sexy snow boots.

These boots helped me muchify my mindset towards the idea of a snowstorm, making the idea of snow somewhat appealing. Instead of “uuuuuuuch- I can’t believe it’s snowing again…. there is NOTHING good about the snow”, now it was an opportunity to wear my awesome new boots!! See that? Sure, they’re just boots, but it helped me invent a reason not to feel so blaaaaaah.

PS: You may wonder how a person can walk throughout the snow in those spiked heels, but it’s easy. Those heels just dig right into the snow and keep me standing upright! No problem!! 🙂

Sunflowers and Sequins

Thank you pier1! If you had a matching Daisy I’d totally be buying these napkin rings. You totally just saved me $10!!!

MUCHNESS HUNTING!!

Posted on October 27, 2011 by Tova

Today is a particularly drab day. It’s been dark and rainy… the kind of day that just makes your bones ache. It’s also the first day and FOREVER that I am not wearing something Muchy. (Besides my Muchness band, duh. But its on my head so I cant even see it… I should move it to my wrist… I think that will help….)

I was up late last night, overslept his morning and… well, I don’t know. I dressed to match my morning mood, instead of dressing to set my mood. And now my mood is blllllaaaaaahhhhh.

So I decided to go Muchness Hunting online and I came up with a site I think I may be in love with. At first glance, there is definitely a strong resemblance between my favorite new Muchness Hunting site and this sexy sex-pot stripper site. (Which, for what it’s worth, carries some awesome Muchness itself, you just have to use a more discerning eye.)

I mean, sure- the models have hair as blond as my moustache after a 20 minute session with Jolen Cream Bleach, and they’ve got enough make-up to make a Mary-Kay sales rep curl into a ball in the corner and weep shameless tears of jealousy, BUT, upon closer examination of the actual products they sell, it appears there is quite a bit of socially appropriate Muchness- and it’s well priced!

Take, for example, this dress:

GREY SCOOP NECK SEQUIN DECOR LONG SLEEVES MINI DRESS

Slap on a pair of leggings or jeans and it’s totally a real-world wearable dress! And it’s $26.99. Really. I’ve seen more expensive Muchness at Target.

Or this—OK. So I KNOW this is a little extra body conscious and quirky, but I LOVE it:

SILVER BLACK SEXY SEQUINED STAR PRINT MINI SKIRT

Black Long sleeve tee, Black Tights and Knee Hi black boots, and you’re ready to go!! And it’s $22. For real. I’ve eaten lunches at my desk that cost more than that.

And this look is perfect for the girl who likes neutrals! (I think of everything in the brown family as a neutral. I can’t help it. Even the leopard print wall-to-wall carpet in my family room is a neutral to me. It matches EVERYTHING!!!!)

COFFEE SEXY SEQUINED DRAPED SIDES MINI DRESS

Ok- I know you’re thinking, Um, really Tova? Really? When in gods name am I going to wear that? And I say, “Whenever!!!” It’s all lose and drape-y at the hips and belly, making it the PERFECT choice for casual sunday afternoons after a big lunch of pizza and pasta!!! Throw on a denim jacket (Or, better yet, a leopard fur shrug) to protect you from drafty air, and kick up your heels to watch the latest Lifetime Movie of the Week!

…Speaking of heels….. Um, I’m gonna have to save that post for another day. Because they have So . Friggin . Many . Muchtastic . Shoes, I’m simply overwhelmed and scared I’ll buy them and they will break my feet.

Until then, I leave you with this Gem from their Halloween Department:

It’s called Daisy Bug. And she’s holding a Sunflower. 😉 You get me…

MUCHNESS! Take me away!!!

I can practically feel the sand in my bathing suit…

MUCHKINS, MUNCHIES AND MUCHNESS MADNESS!!!

Posted on October 26, 2011 by Tova

WooooHoooo!!!! It’s picture time!!!! Molly’s at the age where she likes projects. And she likes doing stuff in the kitchen. I too like projects. And cookies. I like cookies. So I created a fun and (I’m sure) terribly unique project to do with Molly!!

We start with the basics. Cookies:

What? You didn’t think I actually baked, did you??

Next, Pour Edible Muchness into a bowl:

Now, pour other edible Muchnesses into other bowls:

Variety is the spice of life:

I think you can see where I’m going here….

Ok. Then we each got our own tray:

Ok. Stop focussing on the mess behind us and start focussing on my MUCHTASTIC RAINBOW LEOPARD PRINT ONE-PIECE FOOTSIE PAJAMAS!!! (Uh. I can’t. I seriously need to devote a whole post to the awesomeness of footsie pajamas. People just do not understand!!! They’re the best!!!)

OK! now get busy decorating!!! That’s the fun part! Get creative! Get silly! Get Nuts! (Unless you’re allergic to nuts. Then I suggest you skip the nuts.)
