I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together.

Your budget was blown by the trip you're on and affording a personal makeup artist aka "Baby Whisperer" is simply ludacris. Still...a girl can dream, can't she?!

And the toddler's enjoyment was priceless! He is still asking to be transformed!
