I can now make my apologies for my store not always being open, or up to date, and this blog not having entries.
For the past 4 weeks my family has been in the middle of a move. Usually there is time to prepare for making a move, especially when its across different states. However, we made the official decision to move 2 weeks before the move. The meant we had to take off a week to go house hunting, and then allowed ourselves a week to pack up and move away.
We are now located in the south eastern corner of Arizona, in a place referred to as the "Gila Valley". It is where my husband and I first met, and his home town. It took us some time to get internet set up in our home since the conventional way is not available to us. The move is complete, with internet, and pretty much every box has been emptied (or put in storage) getting us settled in. It makes me think of "The Incredibles" when she calls up her husband at work, and announces that they are officially moved in; even though they have been living in that home for the past 3 years.
I have recently done an inventory of what I have in stock; pacifashions made, or the materials to make them. I'm pleased to say that I have 29 different individual styles of PaciFashions, and 12 different types of the Ties. I have yet to make a tie in each style, but will soon be on my machine so that I can show you.
Sorry that my shop had been closed for a few weeks, and that there hasn't been any updates. I hope to keep my shop up to date on a consistent basis, and for this blog to be continued the way I had planned for all along.
A great way to accessorize your little ones! Also not to mention eliminating the hunt for their binky, making it easier for mommy!

Q Review, Baby Mae Boutique
I'm a little late this week in making my review, so forgive me, and enjoy.
I found a new shop that makes baby blankets, bibs, and burp cloths. This shop began on January 31st of this year, and doing great. There are only a few items listed, but she's listing them just as fast as they are being sold! She does have another shop that she's been running for a few months, and is transitioning her baby items to BabyMaeBoutique. There are some adorable items for little girls and some for little boys. Her prices are very agreeable, and her fabrics come in a wide variety.
While visiting BabyMaeBoutique and you're not seeing that exact item you want, you can visit the sold section of DecorNMore for examples of other blankets, bibs, and burp cloths. My favorite is this boys set, especially since its so hard to find adorable, stylish items for those handsome little boys out there. I hope that you enjoy BabyMaeBoutique.

Q's Day - Tuesday (All about the Boys Collection)
I've recently added a red/white Bandanna Tie to my collection.
I've been trying to make my boys collection larger, and not just with the ties. Speaking about ties, I do have plans to add more pastel colors to the tie collection for Spring. Those colors will include lavender, and pink. Pink is becoming a more widely accepted color for men. Heck, my dad has had a pink collared shirt since I was in high school, so I never thought much about men not wearing pink at all.
There's an adorable little boy in my neighborhood that has worn an adorable pink polo to church, and I just love it. Its actually because of him that I want to add pink as a tie. I do have my daughter posing a few ties for my store, so it has a small appeal for girls.
I've had a few suggestions on what to add to my boys collection, but I would like to hear more from you. Another idea that I have running through my head is customizing PaciFashions with embroidering. I'd LOVE feedback about that idea. I do want to hear more about what you'd like to see in my shop.

Q Find It
With just killing some time on Saturday, I went to the local mall with my family. We usually spend more time in the toddler play area, but my son was ready to stroll around. I always enjoy The Children's Place, and they have a lot of sales going on right now.
I know Valentine's Day isn't even here, but retailers are already making think ahead to Easter, and summer. One reason why I enjoy The Children's Place so much is because they have a larger selection of boys clothes. I was never into all the girly stuff myself, since I grew up a Tomboy, but having my daughter has definitely changed that. I love that they have a larger color selection for little girls, and not limited to pink. Personally, my daughter looks her best in blue. She has very fair/pink skin, but striking blue eyes (got that from her daddy, I'm so jealous), so she blends in with pink, but stands out with blue.
Having said all that about pink, here is a sale specifically for Valentine's Day. I know that its almost upon us, love, however, is never out of style, and there's always planning ahead for next year. If you have your heart set on something else, something not currently on sale, well here's a coupon code for you. Get 15% off your entire order, and this coupon is good through the 14th of March. The code is M2AXQXYQ2A. Enjoy! I know I will.

Q's tip
My tip for this Friday is for getting hair bows to stay on our pretty, little baby girls head. There are two kinds of bows: those with clips (snaps, barrettes) and those with nothing. Obviously those with nothing can't be too big or this tip won't work.
With:
Not everyone has those new, elastic, woven headband things. Also, not every baby (including my own) will wear one willingly. There is a simple, and very inexpensive way to have a type of head band. Using old pantyhose, thigh-highs, knee-highs, or leggings, simply cut off a section of one leg. It doesn't have to be a wide piece, nor should you cut it too thin either (I don't recommend any width smaller than 1 1/2"). It'll roll in on itself, so you don't have to worry how the edge of your cut turned out because it doesn't matter. Of course you'll want to "eye-ball" it first to see if it'll fit snugly, not tightly, around your little one's head. It can't be too loose either.
Presto! A simple, affordable solution for a head band to hold those adorable bows, and flowers that you can't seem to get to stay on any other way. The nylon is meant to fit just right, and not cut off circulation so your baby is comfortable with it there; assuming that she doesn't pull it right off. This tip can work for your older children, teens, and yourself, if you so desire.
Without:
This is a simple and a little sticky solution. Most kitchens will have Karo, or Corn Syrup. If you don't happen to have it stocked in yours but like this tip, then get the smallest bottle you can find. With just a dab of Karo, put it on the back of your bow and hold the bow in the place you'd like it to stay for a little while. It washes right off easily with just a little water. If the bow falls off your babies head while you're away from home, and you don't have your Karo with you (who would, that would be weird if that was one item you carried in your already heavy diaper bag) just warm up the Karo that's on it till its sticky, and gooey again. It can be washed off the bow as well.
Alright, its that time again. If you've used this idea before, or try it for the first time, let us know how it works for you.

(yes, this is my daughter a few hours old, this was the only way she could wear a bow)

Elizabeth Daugherty's pacifier story
I don't have any paci stories yet because my little man wont be here til May, however I do have a good paci story about my sister.
When my sister was about 1 my mom and dad took us for ice cream at the underground mall in Honolulu Hawaii. My dad's favorite Ice Cream was their Hot Fudge Sundae and he would always order an extra side of Hot Fudge for our ice creams. We had been eating for a while when my dad went to use some of the extra fudge, but the cup was missing. My dad thought maybe they hadn't brought it yet, so he asked for another one. They brought it out and we continued eating, my mom and dad talking and joking with me (I'd have been about 3 at the time) when my dad went to use the extra fudge again. Yet again it was missing, but this time my dad knew they had brought the extra fudge so he's looking all over the table for the little silver cup of hot fudge, but it's no where to be found. Suddenly my dad looks at my 1 year old sister and says "Meggan, did you eat daddies chocolate?" and she shook her head no. He looked at her again and said "Meggan daddies asking nicely, did you take his chocolate?" and again she shook her head. It was then that he noticed something peaking out from the side of her pacifier. So he reaches over and pulls the pacifier from her mouth and her mouth is covered in chocolate, but so is her pacifier, all of the inside of it is covered in hot fudge. Then he notices that it's also all over her hands and shirt and as he looks down he sees not one but TWO little silver cups of Hot Fudge between her little legs. One is completely empty and the other is almost empty. It seems that she'd taken the cups of hot fudge when my dad wasn't looking and then when no one was paying attention she'd take her pacifier out of her mouth and dip it in the hot fudge and put it back in her mouth. The reason she'd only shake her head when my dad would talk to her was because she'd just put a big scoop of fudge in her mouth so she couldn't answer. Over all she ate 1/4 cup of hot fudge, and my mom said she was a bundle of energy the rest of the day! I can only imagine!
My mom says it's one of the funniest things she'd ever seen, and that it was impossible to be angry with her after seeing her covered in hot fudge. Plus it was pretty clever for a 1 year old, when you really think about it. If she'd have had a PaciFashion clip she couldn't have hid the hot fudge in the first place because it wouldn't have reached that far, however then we wouldn't have a funny paci story either.
