Congratulations to the Dhalla and Hartline families!

I want to give a shout out to these two families and their recent additions to their families! Both of these parents are first time parents! Zeena and Azeem recently adopted Zayleea from India! I'm following their blog in case you are interested in learning more about their wonderful experience. Zaleeya has been home in SoCal with her parents for a week or so and adjusting to her new life in the USA. Here is a picture of Zayleea with her parents when they first got her from the orphanage! Congrats to the Dhalla's and I know you will love Zayleea and raise her to be an outstanding woman.

Robert and Rachael welcomed their first child, Trace, into the world at 2:02 am this morning in Nashville! He weighed 9 lbs, 2 oz. What a big boy! He is adorable and mom is doing very well. I'm so excited for Robert and Rachael. They will be amazing parents.

Want to Start Your Christmas Shopping Early?

Happy Thursday everyone! I'm so glad this week is almost over. It seems after the time change, days just drag for awhile. I hate that it gets dark here in Tennessee at 4:45! Makes for a yucky commute home. So, speaking of yucky, I personally dread holiday shopping. I hate that Christmas has become so commercialized. I have started buying more and more in the internet to avoid insane parking lots and crowds. When I was planning our wedding, I purchased some adorable, super affordable hostess and bridesmaid gifts from The Palm Gifts. I just adore the personalized touch on items every girl can use such as makeup bags, gym totes, etc. The products were all high quality and came in a very timely manner. I'm sure they are gearing up for Christmas, but it never hurts to get your order in early to ensure you get it on time! They also have a really cool monogrammed apron give away! Just e-mail them at info@thepalmgifts.com and type 'apron' in the subject line. Then, in the body of the e-mail, tell them what you want for Christmas!

They also have some PRESH monogrammed stockings! I'm in love! Sigh. I hope you visit their site and enjoy as much as I did.

My Girl Sarah, Sportin' Some Presh Shoes!

I'm sure some of you have heard the buzz out there about Sarah Palin's stylish footwear of recent days. Lots of debate on 'where' she got her red shoes from. Rumor has it the shoes she wore at the RNC were from Payless! Our girl is not a heavy spender! Love it! Also, the red heels she sported at the VP debate were hawt! Allegedly, they are Naughty Monkey brand and she bought them in a local shoe store in Alaska prior to the debates. I'm sure Joe Biden took a second look! Grrr! (that's meant in a sexy way, not a mean, normal Joe way). I found my own cute pair at Off Broadway. They're red with a black button with a black chunky heel. Not too tall, good for my old lady back! They're Micheal brand and were under $60.

I hope my girl Sarah and ole boy John pull off a victory today. I want to be able to keep my guns and ammo! lol. I also hope Florida got their act together and figured out how people should vote in this century! No matter who you are for, please get out there today and vote.
