I did not write this but someone did and i thought it should be shared! It's one of my biggest pet peeves! It's happening to me as we speak!

                                RSVP


Over the last several years I have noticed a huge decline in people RSVPing. What is the deal with this? Have we become so self absorbed with our busy schedules that we don't take into the consideration that this is very helpful, or rather necessary, in planning a party? Not only can this save the host/hostess a great deal of money (not overbuying for fear of not having enough), not being fully prepared (not buying enough thinking people weren't attending) and the sheer stress of wondering if you'll have guests at your event!

It's hard for me to wrap my mind around not RSVPing these day with as much technology we have to stay-in-touch with each other. I have started adding my email address to invitations for people to email a response, as it seems to me people don't even want to pick up the phone, but that hasn't even helped. Shoot me a text, give me a shout out on FaceBook...I don't care, just please RSVP! OH....and in a timely manner...a minimum of 5 days before the scheduled event! : )

I have heard so many people discussing this when they're planning an event. I wish I could say I'm totally innocent on this subject, but I have to admit I have been guilty of this act!

In what manner do you ask invitees to RSVP?

SO...........................

So it goes without saying that my little girl has stole my heart and made it her own. I had a friend who once said you need a little girl in your life. I would always say no i don't need no pink crap and baby dolls laying around. I had Erin but she was no girly girl. Today i beg to differ she is a complete girly girl with a girly girl of her own. Which i have no problem spoiling! But my friend would say you need a girl she will make you soft.(at the time i had just DaCota) Well that's No lie. I am definitely soft in my old age and getting softer by the minute. What a push over she has made me. But i am completely in love with her little self. But that doesn't mean i don't love my other kids. he he he! I have a friend Jill who says is always all about Ella! Do you have any room left in your heart for Kayden. Well of coarse i do! Kayden is wonderful he is the easiest little boy ever. (minus the weekend Kenzie watched him for us sorry Kenzie) He likes to do his own thing & be left alone. As long as you feed him and change him and mostly feed him he is happy! He plays by himself and doesn't require a lot of attention. But he has a smile that warms your heart. And loves to snuggle when you do pick him up. He a big chuck of happiness! He loves music and of coarse his blocks! My husband said he is getting Guitar lessons as soon as he is old enough. I can't believe i am planning his 1st b-day which is less then a month away. I swear time flies!  So it's not that i don't think Kayden is just as amazing as Ella is, he is just simpler and younger he doesn't do as much as she does. But in no time that will change he will definitely be right behind Ella in a minute as fast as he is growing. And watch out Ella pay backs are no fun! As far as the older ones go. I love them also! They are older and don't hang out with me as much. They only want me when they need money or a ride or this or that. Ugh!!!! This stage i don't care for much. Attitudes and ugh!!!!!! The babies get everything! As if they weren't babies at one time and got everything also! So yes i love all my BABIES!!!!! I have an amazing family and wouldn't change a bit of it for anything in the world!


PS.... Wanna hear what Ella did last night????? Just joking

Love Darcy

Just My Story!

So i never ever wanted a little girl! I new baseball and monster trucks and all that boy stuff. Well little did i know that having a daughter would be this amazing. WHO KNEW???
Who knew she could melt my heart the way she does?
Who new TUTUS would consume her wardrobe and they would make her giggle uncontrollably and squeal with pure excitement. Who new she would ever own anything pink let alone a TUTU. If you asked me while i was pregnant with her you would have been told she will wear black, gray, blue, maybe yellow but PLEASE don't buy her anything PINK. I will NOT put her in it! A friend of mine Denise said i can't wait till you have a girl i am going to buy you so much pink. Well she did and she bought me a pink blanket which in her favorite. Her Danky! Which is taken everywhere and dragged threw everything.  LOL Well did she prove me wrong. Not only is the majority of her wardrobe pink but i own pink things too. UGH this little girl. Who new she would change me the way she has. Erin on the other had will still say i have no COLOR in my life. Last night Ella received a package in the mail...... Yes you guessed it another TUTU! Before she opened the package i said with excitement what do you think it is??????? She was all it's from the TUTU lady i know it! (she new just from the box and label it was from the TUTU lady.(which must mean we receive a lot of packages from the TUTU lady) So with excitement she tore into that box i couldn't help get teary i know i know it's a TUTU but the excitement on my baby's face was priceless. When she finally got it out the box she said look Mama it's a TUTU i told you so................Thanks TUTU lady (Ella's words)! Needless to say it was a great night Ella ran around in her new TUTU and we laughed and played and and jumped and spun and giggled most of the night. So little did i know GIRLS could do this to there MAMAS and little did i know TUTUS could do this to little girls. So if you have a little girl in your life do yourself a favor and buy her a TUTU. It will light up her day and yours too. So i just wanted to share my story with everyone it's a great story. Hope you enjoy my story as much as i enjoyed my night. Thanks Ella for making Mama's night and Thanks Dallas (TUTU LADY) for always making Ella's day with all her wonderful TUTUS. http://www.missprisstutus.com/
