Sweet Home

Alabama! We went to Alabama again, back to the deep South, back to Lia's roots. And she had a blast! We were visiting her friends Nikki, Valerie, and Emily, three crazily sweet and wild sisters that are just the type of girls Lia loves hanging out with.

Quietly sitting on the sofa was more of an exception that day.

As was this peaceful playtime with little Emily.



Getting sweaty in the yard, that was the biggest thing of all that weekend! The Archundia girls have the coolest backyard sets you can imagine. A sand box, a walking bridge, a toddler sized doll house, swings, and even an inflatable jumping castle, to name just a few. Lia was in heaven!

Lia was exhausted by the end of the day! Luckily we brought our pack'n play travel bed along, so Lia could go to sleep while her parents enjoyed Tequilla (and water) on the rocks until midnight and collected a respectable number of mosquito bites. And then we drove back to our hotel and wheeled Lia into our hotel room in her magic bed! Great complementary toddler service, I should say.




P.S. To all my favorite girls out there, please welcome Brandy into our Bobbi Brown Cult! She spent 600 bucks at the BB counter and is now a valued member of our community.

Oh no Nirit...you HAD to announce my in-sanity with makeup spending?!
Only you, my darling co-bobbi-crazed friend, would cheer me on while I purchase obscene amounts of eyeshadow!
(GO US!)

p.s. LOVE this post, LOADS of photos AND 2 (TWO?!) videos?!

Niritchen!

Du ziehst eine Schneise völlig verarmter Männer hinter Dir her! Deine Konvertierungen ehemals vernüftiger Partnerinnen zu fanatischen BB-Religionsanhängern nimmt bedrohliche Ausmaße an. Von wegen Scientology und Tom Cruise!
Die Schminke muß ab!
Gruß, Onkel Chrischie

Das ist nur Neid!! Wir Frauen fordern BB für Männer - Gleichberechtigung muss sein!

Oh, oh - Brandy! Very, very hard to detox from that one once you get started! But, on a bright side, it doesn't really affect your health in a bad way as other things do that get you hooked right away. All it does is make you prettier and happier, and how cool is that???? (That is, as long as you manage to not look at the amount on the cash register! ALWAYS look in the mirror, NEVER EVER at the cash register, or it may turn out badly for your health after all and you want to keep that happy giddy feeling, don't you? Feelings of guilt would just ruin everything).

In any case: welcome to the club!

(On second thought and looking at that amount - maybe SOMEONE should have looked at the cash register ... NEVER EVER count on Nirit to do that, she will ALWAYS cheer you on, even if it means you won't be able to eat for a month ... (again: bad for your health) - it's not her fault though, it's genetic coding)
