Hi Mommies (and Daddies) I am putting together a proposal for a new account, a full service daycare. Most of my clients would range from 2-5, with a few older kids in the afternoon. We will be serving 5 meals/snacks per day - breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. So far, all of the info I have gathered from the state and distributors rely very heavily on processed, packaged foods. I don't cook this way and HATE to start kids off with poor eating habits. My questions are: 1) What do your kids like to eat? 2) What foods would you like to see provided for your child(ren)? 3) Will your child try new foods? 4) Is there anything in particular that you like or dislike about the food service program? 5) Do you pay attention to the menus sent home? 6) Do you ever have to supplement foods and send snacks with your child? Thanks!

We haven't had a good ferret photo frenzy in a while. Here you go! And just in time for Halloween should you need a little costume inspiration.

I was just getting ready to post almost the same thing Morgan.

We missed you Dez. I'm glad to know things are looking up. I know you've been gone, but where are the pictures? I know you didn't forget what photo ho's we are! LOL

That will look so good! Very beachy and practical, but still pretty. I love that you posted so many pics! You know us well!

Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don’t want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt or can’t put forth the time or effort to climb all of the way to the top. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren’t as good, but easy. The apples at the top think that something is wrong with them, when in reality, they’re amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to make it to the top of the tree. Now men, men are more like wine. They begin as grapes, and it’s up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable with which to have dinner.

Celina I'm glad you had so much fun! That was a lot of fun & activity to cram into one evening! Male strippers weird me out. I've also had some awkward experiences with them. I was surprised, not once but twice, at parties where I knew the stripper. One was a trainer at my gym and the other was my teacher!

You look like you're ready to go! It's so exciting!

I love it! My dog doesn't like to be dressed up so we'll have to start early when we get our next dog. I'd be super proud too! Thanks for including pics. I guess you probably know that is the first thing we all ask . LOL

Good call on the tea! I had so much fun looking at your pictures! There are so many great ones, I don't know how you are going to sort through them all. I'm thinking your photobook will be about 350 pages! PS - your parents are adorable and I want to squeeze them!

Wow! You're a busy girl these days! I can't wait to see pictures and read your review. Welcome back MRS!

You will look so beautiful! I love that dress, it will be perfect for the beach.

Great job! And hey, your nails match! LOL

I think it is best to accept and move on. She made her choice and living her own life. While we all know that she shouldn't be with this guy, she is the one who makes the decisions for herself. Hopefully she will learn from her mistakes, though if that were the case, she might not have gotten pregnant the second time. I know that it is hard when a loved one does this, but you have to remove your emotions from the situation. It's ok to be disappointed in her but is it worth it to shut her out of your life forever.

Jamie - you might be thinking of Kristie that did Morgan's wedding and Saraha's BD. She's in AZ but we know she travels!

Great info! I understand why the resorts have their own photographers, but I do hate it for brides. I'm so glad we didn't have to worry about that when I was at Couples.

I agree with the other ladies. I personally find it rude to invite guests to a party then make them pay for things, this includes a cash bar. I say offer what you can. If you can only afford cake and punch, then have a reception with cake and punch that is decorated beautifully. I think people would be much more accepting of that than if they had to (surprise!) pay for their own meal.

I haven't heard of that specifically. I know there are honeymoon registries, where you sign up for your trip and people can contribute to the travel and/or excursions, spa treatments, etc. while you are there.

Hi Kristin! I say start with a wish list - Adults Only, Family Friendly, All Inclusive, Beachfront, etc. You're right in that there are a million places to choose from. This helps you narrow them down.

Welcome back MRS!

Congrats Carrie! It's sounds like a perfect day! Now we need pictures, STAT!

Congrats Leia! I know this will be a magical day for you and John. I can't wait to see your beautiful pictures and hear all of the details!

Beautiful shower! It looked so classy and elegant. And, I'm a huge fan of the pinks! Great DIY work! I'm impressed

That is way too weird and funny. DH is a gamer so I know that some people get really attached. I just don't get it. Of course if someone hacked my BDW account and I got banned I'd be pretty pissed. I'm not technologically savvy enough to figure out how to get them back, but I'm fairly certain I wouldn't call the police.

I did one set of pics in the pool first so there was no sand. I then went down to the beach for ocean pics. I rinsed off at the outdoor shower, then like Rebbecca I showered with eh dress on then peeled it off. The amount of sand was a little ridiculous! I hung it on the balcony and it was dry that night. My seamstress said that as long as your dress isn't heavily beaded or lacy, you can put it through the regular wash on gentle in cold water and hang to dry it will be fine. CHECK THE FABRIC FIRST! I can second that my dress was much cleaner after being in the ocean than it was after the 15 minute wedding!
