Crib chaos here in San Francisco. Parker Jane pulled all the blankets off the sides of her crib today. New lesson learned...nothing is out of her reach if she can see it.
I was picking out Parker's clothes and in a matter of seconds Parker skooted around her crib tugging all the blankets that were hanging over the sides. She got them all.
Once caught she decided to play it off like she was playing hide an seek or peek a boo.
When that didn't fly she tried the coy look to distract the mommy.
Finally she played the "little angel" card with this sweet playful look.
Sleeping babies are the best!
More tenderoni moments with my baby.

So how does a stay at home mom makes some extra $$$ in this tough economy? Well you participate in one of the many focus groups that major companies hold in downtown San Francisco. This week it's all about the cheese. I was paid to buy, eat, and create art with cheese. Here I post some of my cheese art. Each of the pictures is actually made up of smaller pictures of cheese.
Below is my assignment to complete and bring to the focus group. The best poster/collage wins an additional $25. I don't think anyone else will have done cheese portraits? Wish me luck!

Rainy and cold all day so we stayed inside and played and played, well at least the girls did. I stopped working at the desk to snap these great pictures of my special ladies.
Who wants a clean house? Busted watching tv again.
They kinda look alike don't they?
I swear I can actually hear her grow!
Finally we have the real hair coming in. So far she's a blonde.
