swimming, earaches, and a fabulous giveaway

ALL. WEEK. LONG. My little Abbygirl suffered from earaches. Possible causes: her molars are coming out and/or SWIMMING! It dawned on me that an hour after getting out of the pool, after being in it for about 2 hours, she starts to scream and cry and hold her ear. Seeing her in pain is the worst. Last night was the worst night of them all. She was tossing and turning, crying, moaning, squeezing my arm tight. I barely slept. Then she tells me she feels hot. Sure enough, kid has a fever. I haven't had a rough night with her EVER. Even as an infant, Abby never gave me trouble at night. Yes, she would wake up for feedings but they were easy feedings. Eat. Sleep. Eat. Sleep. It was great. And now at the age of 7 things are very different, well at least last night. No fever at the moment and I'm praying it doesn't come back. It's not great but the fact that this is happening now is ok. I could not imagine this happening on our vacation, which starts next Saturday.

Ironic this happened last night because my best friend was telling that she can't remember me ever having a hard time with my girls when they were babies. We were talking about her baby and her sleeping patterns. And then I get home to Abby in pain. Very ironic.

Regardless of what is happening this Mom still has to work and get pending orders out. I am keeping a careful watch on Abby. we had planned to go see the katy perry movie today but now that plan is on hold.

I've got to get our little fish some swimming earplugs. theres no way an earache is going to make her stop swimming. she loves to swim.

anyways, I'm happy its friday. aren't you?

so I've decided to a fabulous friday giveaway.

I've posted on my FB pages about a fabulous local business gal who started her line of non-toxic nail polishes. she also makes the pretties bracelets. have you heard of Sugarcoat?

Make sure you do all that is necessary to win.

terrific thursday

i hope everyone had a restful yet FUN 4th of july holiday with family and friends. i did. i spent half of my day at the hospital awaiting the arrival of twin baby girls. they arrived healthy and beautiful. and mommy is doing fantastic. ill be visiting with her again today. the real labor, raising twins, comes now but i know she'll do a GREAT job. she's already a wonderful mother to my adorable 4 year old god-daughter.

here she is, pretty girl. waiting with me. she's excited to have 2 sisters. and i don't think she even knows how much FUN that will be. she's just so lucky and blessed. i don't even have one sister and she gets 2, not fair. kidding! 

then i spent the remainder of my day with great friends at a cookout. sooo much food. probably why my tummy started hurting when it was time for bed. 

so, not its thursday. the weekend is almost here. i have several orders to complete for tomorrow. 

i'd like to share with you about an online pic editing program. I just learned about it and really enjoyed using it. it is very similar to picnik but better. PicMonkey is a must try. And the best part, it's absolutely FREE. YAY! Who doesn't love free stuff?! 

The other day I got home to a package on my front door step. I had no idea what it was. SURPRISE! 


Stationery notecards personalized with my name and paper passion on the bottom, and in navy blue, one of my new favorite colors. It's from a reputable stationery company that i may start to sell. What a sweet gift from the company! Already I'm liking them. 

So tune in tmrw for a terrific giveaway! Have a terrific thursday. 

Thank you for stopping by,

hello Monday

i'm amazed at my poor blogging skills. i didn't blog for a whole week. thats a definite sign that i don't have time. and i do NEED to make time for it. it's part of my work. it's how people get to know a bit more about the lady behind paper passion & Blossom. So, please excuse my poor attention skills to the blog.

so...

hello to a new day,  a new week. the day is almost over but it is a new day. after writing this post, i will grab a comfy blanket, change into PJ's and throw myself on the couch for some Housewife of NYC drama. 

hello to a great deal on this weeks hair tie special! 

hellooooo to Magic Mike! I was there for the first showing. Not too interested on the plot, however the actors, really really interesting. I was very sleepy the next day but staying up late for the showing was SO worth it. I wonder if they'll make a Magic Mike 2. And I cannot believe that a talking bear beat the hot strippers in $. 

hello to 13 more days for summer vacay! i am anxious to get out of this town. i have a feeling i will fall in love with SD and beg the hubby to ask for a work transfer. 

hello to fun-filled weekend with great friends. baby shower, bridal shower, birthday party! and all surrounded by people whom i love very much. i love celebrations. 

hello to looking forward to this coming weekend. Randy Rogers Band, nuff said! 

hello you all!

what are saying hello to on this first week of July?
