Mickey knows your kid's name!

My husband and I recently took a trip to Vegas for our anniversary, where we stayed off the strip (so much better!) and were able to stroll the mall which was right across the street.  In one of the kiosks we came upon THE cutest thing for our baby girl, Reese.  I just had to share!  We told them our daughter's name was Reese, and they proceeded to play different Cd's with our daughter's favorite characters (especially Mickey) saying her name in each song!  It was hilarious!  I just had to buy the Mickey and the Veggie Tales version.  They also had Sesame Street, Princesses, Barney, etc.  All the Veggie Tale characters talk about how "God loves Reese" and include some of the most popular songs we listened to as a kid while saying your baby's name in them!  I was able to find the website where they sell these and I would highly encourage parent's to buy at least one!  This is something I will definitely get for each of my kids in the future.  It's the perfect personalized gift, and your child will LOVE hearing Mickey call their name!  So cute!!*

Kid Room Ideas!**

Hi friends!  This is my daughter, Reese's room.  She is the ultimate girly-girl,  so of course I had to go girly in her room with pink and purple!  I just love to dress up a wall with a frame collage.  This first picture is a combination of frames in all different styles: wood, metal, purple, brown; all complimentary accent colors to Reese's decor and furniture.  It's a fun way to fill a large wall and use some of those billions of pictures you have of your little one.  For easy application-  I traced the shapes of each of the frames onto paper (I actually used wrapping paper because some of my frames were larger than a regular sheet of paper).  Then I played around with different positions to find just the right one by taping them up onto the wall.  Once finished, I was able to nail the frames in place of the paper.  Make sure you have a good combination of vertical and horizontal frames in different sizes and colors.  Easy!

Another fun idea is to use letters of your child's name for people to sign their warm wishes!  I bought the letters for Reese at a craft store and then painted them in an antique finish with light peach/pink paint.  The letters were thick enough to place a fun gel pen, or marker on top.  Now all Reese's loved ones sign the letters when they visit.   What a special keepsake and daily reminder for your baby to know how much they are loved.  Hope you enjoy!  Have a blessed day!**

Astros Family Day!

For those of you who don't know me or my family we are huge sports people!  My husband plays profressional basketball for the Washington Wizards, and my dad coaches for the Houston Astros (baseball- for those of you who have no idea!).  The whole year round we are celebrating different teams, and constantly attending sporting events.  I took Reese to her first basketball game of Daddy's when she was just 3 weeks old!  I know it sounds a little crazy- but she slept right through all the loud music, lights, fire-explosions, and crazy fans!  Now she stays wide awake and even sings along and claps to "Deep In The Heart of Texas" at the Astros games. :)

Because we have so much pride for the men athletes of our family, we have to stay supportive in our team gear! That's why I made sure to carry the "My Team Bows" at The Lemonade Cake Boutique.   We carry a huge selection of teams in MLB, NFL, NBA, and College, but if you don't see the team you need, we can make whatever you desire!  This is a picture of my sister, Brooke, mom, Gari, dad, Bobby, Reese, and brother, Colton at the Astros "Family Day" last year.  If Reese had more hair back then she could've worn her Team Bow! :) Go ASTROS!**

Welcome!
