Communicating With the Other Side

 

I realize this is a very controversial subject to some but I saw a medium on Wednesday evening. I know some of you may not believe in this and I completely respect that and I ask that you respect the fact that I do believe in it. Do not get me wrong I know there are countless hacks out there but I believe there are a few who can truly communicate with the other side.

I have been to a few psychics in the past but never a medium. Unfortunately, I have several people on the other side that I wanted to communicate with, my nanny, my papa and my best friend, not to mention several of my husband's relatives. And they were there!! I knew this because the medium called them all out without asking me anything first. 

I honestly, do not want to get into all the extremely personal details of my reading but here's a few things I would love to share. Apparently Joe and I will be having three children and the next one is going to be a boy. And we are going to be pregnant pretty soon. We shall see!! And supposedly we will eventually have a home in Pennsylvania, not anytime soon but one day. 

They emphasized the fact that Olivia is brilliant, not just smart but brilliant and will have a future in the medical field. Possibly a doctor or veterinarian. She is so advanced they expressed that she might have a problem in school because she is so bored. I hope she can thrive in school and love the fact that she may be a future doctor!

I have a few words of advice if planning on visiting a medium. Do your research or go off recommendations. I found this woman through people I knew and they told me how accurate she was. Don't have any expectations. Although, everyone I wanted to communicate with was present, they were not all extremely vocal. My nanny was the dominating presence. I had hoped to hear more from my best friend but as the medium explained sometimes not everyone communicates but at least I knew she was there. Lastly, be prepared to hear some things you may not want to hear. Within the first 30 seconds of my reading I got extremely heart wrenching news. It was difficult to hear and I still have a knot in my stomach. I knew what I was getting into though and would still go back.

I would love to hear your psychic/medium stories. Please comment below.

Weeeeee! It's Fall!

It's officially my favorite time of year. I love the weather, I love the activities, I love Halloween! We wasted no time in getting into full swing of the season this weekend. We went to Finks Country Farm in Wading River, NY and had a blast. They had lots of fun activities set up, including: a corn maze, bouncy house, corn crib, moo moo train, pony rides, pig races, a petting zoo and of course a pumpkin patch.  I love these types of festivities but more importantly little Olive had a blast.

My loves!

Pig Races

Moo Moo Train

 We have a few other plans to hit up some fall festivals and pumpkin farms and I cannot wait! Speaking of not being able to wait... Instead of doing what I should of done last night, my hubby, my sis in law and myself decided to have a practice run at carving and painting pumpkins. Can you tell we love this time of year?!

So my hubby and sis in law carved some pumpkins and here are their awesome creations:

Hello Kitty with a moustache by Alise

The hubby did Swiper for my girl

Since I cannot carve I decided to paint a day of the dead skull freehand. It was a valiant effort considering I was using crappy brushes and paint from the dollar store. It's hard to get precise lines when bristles are falling out of your brush. Haha. I cannot wait to get the proper supplies for next time.

Caption This!

I went to the park today with my hubby and baby girl and as we walking backing to the car we heard this squirrel groaning and he was grasping onto the tree like this. So no this isn't in an action shot. He was in this position for a good 5 minutes and counting when we finally went to get in car. What in the world was he doing?! Captions please...... Go!!!!

Happies And Crappies

I am super excited to link up for my first Happies and Crappies!! This is a super cool link up and I am pretty sure I will be joining from here on out. Here goes....


Happies

* This is the first weekend in a long while that we have NO set plans and I couldn't be more ecstatic!  Guess I am becoming an old fart. I hope to do some kind of fall activity. Maybe apple picking. We'll see!
*I have found quite a few cool bloggers to connect with this week. I am hoping to form some everlasting blogger friendships. Gosh, that makes me sound like a loser. I swear I have a lot of friends in real life...Heehee..
*All my businesses are thriving. I have tutu orders galore with Halloween coming and I have several photosessions booked for next week.

Crappies

*Olivia has been up at around 3am for almost everyday this week. And I mean up for the day!! Yikes!! I cannot even see straight at this point. 
*Feeling down about being a chubby tubby. I used to be so thin so I feel like it's even harder on me. I want to diet but I LOVE food.It's a tough battle. I will look like I used to. I am making that promise to myself.

Think Ahead And Save On Your Poof

Okay, so I know Halloween is over a month away but you should start thinking of costume possibilities NOW!! Last Halloween I was inundated with so many tutu orders that came in that I needed to cut off orders around mid October. Don't let this happen to you!! To encourage people to order their tutus early I am offering 15% off until Sunday 9/22. (Originally sale was to end today but extending through the weekend).

How to order? Go to my shop: Oh So Pretty Designs and enter coupon code: EARLYBIRD15 when ordering. Don't see the tutu you need? I make custom tutus as well. Simply message me!! Cannot wait to see what everyone comes up with!!

Update And A Giveaway

Happy hump day!! I have been actively working on a new project and that is setting up an online accessory boutique. I have several different Etsy shops because I love making my own jewelry designs but I wanted to branch out and find distributors of fabulous accessories that I can offer to my clients. This would allow me to offer a greater variety and yes, make more of a profit than I do from my Etsy shops but I am definitely hitting some bumps along the road.

I have decided not to initially order in bulk so I could check out the quality of every item before I order tons to have in stock because I knew not every item would live up to it's photos.  I didn't realize that I would be so disappointed in so many items so I only have a handful of items I would be proud to sell. I wanted a November 1st launch and I feel that would be an impossibility at this point. I am not giving up but I might need to take my boutique in a whole other direction.

On a lighter note, I am giving away one item that I received that I do love. A beautiful owl pendant. (See photo below.) This is a fabulous accessory for your fall wardrobe! Along with this pendant I will be giving the winner 30 days of FREE VIP ad space on my blog! I hope you take a second to enter my little giveaway.
