Apologies...and chocolate...and sushi...

Happy Valentines Day!

I have been boring lately. I know I have been, and ladies, I am sorry! I could give you all of the usual excuses...things have been busy, kids are sick/have parties to attend/keep me crazy in general, lots of Three Mommas stuff to attend to, too many clothes to wash...you know the usual suspects, and are probably as busy, if not more so, than me!

Production is cranking along at Three Mommas...Representatives, you guys entering your own orders as you receive them has been AWESOME and so helpful on the back-end! As for what has been popular, all of the new styles have been doing really well, and of course, the swimsuits are super-popular. As they should be - have you seen them? (I know you guys are all rolling your eyes at me...wishing I would stop with the swimsuit obsession!!) The Easter garments have also done well, and we will be shipping most of the ones already ordered early this week.

I know...here I am posting, and it is a boring post itself. Let's see...anything interesting? I just broke down and purchased a Blackberry so that I can communicate more easily with all of the FABULOUS Three Mommas representatives, and it should be working on Monday! I am currently sitting at a coffee shop, will be getting sushi here shortly and going to see a movie. This is what I do with my husband on V-Day, when the boys are with their aunt. See, it isn't just my posts that are boring!

Wishing you all chocolate, roses, bubble baths and happiness on this Hallmark Holiday! Or, at the very least, coffee and sushi!!

The First Step to Overcoming a Problem...


is to admit that you have one, right?? I mean, that's what I have always been told, and it makes sense.

I have a problem, ladies.

We drove up to the beach this evening...to visit my in-laws. A short weekend away at Edisto, and I couldn't be looking more forward to it. The weather should be superb, the beach at Jeremy Cay is secluded and very private, I can get some alone time and the boys will have a blast.

We pull up and I can smell the ocean. You all know what I am talking about...the breeze, the salt, the smell. And what immediately comes to mind?

Man, how cute will the Swimsuits be on the beach this summer?!


Are you kidding?? Seriously?? I mean, SERIOUSLY!!

That Which Does Not Kill You...

I know, I know...makes you stronger. I have a love/hate relationship with this particular adage, but I suppose it is true. You know the other old saying..."When it rains, it pours..."? I take issue with that lately too. Only because it is hitting a little close to home these days.

And here I am, off on another one of my personal-life tangents. Oh, lucky y'all!

Many of you probably heard about the great shipping debacle that was last week. If you didn't, consider yourself lucky. I have semi-blocked it from my mind, so I won't re-hash the entire thing here. Sufficed to say it was a nightmare - an absolute, complete, total, horrifying nightmare. One that kept me glued to my computer and telephone, pleading, cursing, and flat-out begging the shipping company (wonder who that was?) to get their act together.

All to no avail.

In the end, thanks only to our wonderful, awesome, fan-tabulous Three Mommas Representatives, we miraculously didn't have to cancel a single show!! Seriously, our Reps ROCK! Thank you to everyone that pitched in and helped during the crisis...I cannot thank you enough!

Oh, and in case you were wondering what was so bad (I mean, as if gray hair, ulcers, sleepless nights and fights with the Montgomery, AL hub director aren't enough)...both boys had Scarlet Fever last week, and yours truly is now suffering from a sore throat and what I fear is an ear infection. However, I am still so relieved that we made it through last week and that the boys are feeling better that I will take it!

I know my life cannot be the only crazy one...I don't wish it on any of you, but tell me that I am not the only one!

Oh, and since this is a blog about children's clothing...have you checked out the swimsuits? I mean, they are simply a must-have for this summer and are proving to be just as popular as we thought they'd be!
