Playing dressup is perhaps one of the funnest aspects of having a children’s clothing line. MR loves to watch me sew and thinks that every shirt that I make is hers. She is especially fond of the owl shirt, Hootin and Hollerin and much to her daddy’s dismay, the Go Gators Little Alligator shirt.
As we begin to introduce the fall line, there has been ample opportunity for dressup and porch time. Here are some of our favorite Petey Pie pictures from weeks past.

And while we’re talking about Petey Pie’s, don’t forget to take a look at the new birthday collection, featuring birthday shirts, hats, and bibs. The line can be custom ordered, with over 45 fabrics to choose from!

Don’t you hate it when you make an error or grammatical mistake on your blog, or worse yet, on someone else’s blog? Or when that mistake happens to be on someone’s facebook page for all of their friends to see? Never one to proofread, I often fall victim to this mishap.
My latest slip occurred on my last blog post…instead of directing people to Petey Pie’s website, I directed them to our personal homepage. Red faced and ashamed, I’m hoping you will take a minute to admire all of my husbands hard work. He spent hour upon hour coding to make sure the site was up and running in time for the Daily Candy Kids article. And his hard work payed off. Thanks to the article, we generated over 1000 hits to the site in the first two days!
I also want to thank my sweet husband for spending several hours of his time traveling and calling various Walmart’s across Georgia in search of toddler boys t-shirts. Our search ended in Fernandina Beach, Florida, where my wonderful mother-in-law located and shipped a new batch of shirts. Having a supportive and dependable family is probably the best blessing of all!
And because I’m officially 2 weeks behind, here are a few highlights from the last couple of weeks…

4th of July
It’s twenty minutes past midnight and I am wired! For the last several hours, I have been anxiously awaiting the latest post to the Atlanta Daily Candy Kids homepage. I’m a little compulsive when it comes to things that I am excited about. And for good reason! I got a call late Friday afternoon that the good folks at the Daily Candy were interested in doing a write up on Petey Pie’s. I cannot tell you what an honor it is to get recognition for your hard work! Take a minute and head on over to the Atlanta Daily Candy and be sure to also check out the changes to the Petey Pie’s website. As always, thank you all so much for your continued support and for allowing me to do something that I love!
Head on over to the Pregnancy and Newborn blog for your chance to win a Petey Pie’s shirt for your little one! But hurry, contest ends Sunday June 28 at midnight!
Fall 2009 Pretty as a Peacock
This little girl loves her family as much as I do. She speaks of each and every relative no less than a dozen times a day. We visited with Gran C and Big Daddy last weekend and are anxiously awaiting Papa Joe and Mimi’s arrival on Friday. Thank you God for blessing us with such an abundance of love!
This little girl loves to pick flowers. Thank you God for Your creation and for allowing even the smallest of your children to recognize its magnificence!
This mama loves having her niece and nephew so close. Thank you God for bringing the Boucek’s back to Georgia!
This mama also loves having a date night out with her sweet husband! Thank you God for blessing me with such a loving and caring partner! And also for such great friends! Thank you Julie for loving MR as if she were your own and for opening up your house to her. I pray that MR will be as a good of a big sister as you are to me!
On Tuesday night, MR spent the night at Ju-Ju Bea’s so G and I could cheer on the Braves v Yankees!
Thank you God for all your many blessings! And for teaching me to count them on a daily basis!!!
In the last couple of days, we have:
seen a lot of these guys and spent a lot of time outdoors,
successfully completed a week of swimming lessons,
scored a new summer wardrobe thanks to my sweet and generous friend, Kristi,
eaten our weight (times 2) in “Meme Crackers”,
jumped on Cousin’s big-girl bed,
and giggled every step of the way!
When I was younger, the summer was full of activities. The grill became the kitchen; the pool replaced the television; and longer days meant later bedtimes. Last week, I made every effort to revisit those care-free days. On Tuesday, we cheered on the Braves at Turner Field. On Wednesday, I joined a group of ladies for a jewelry party and a much needed glass of wine. And on Saturday, we danced with some of our favorite friends (and scores of squealing tweens) at the Taylor Swift/Keith Urban concert. Thank the good Lord above for fun-filled summer days!
A big thank you to Ju-Ju Bea for taking such good care of MR and for allowing us to have a night out on the town!
And a big thank you to G for being such a good daddy and for letting me enjoy a quiet Sunday afternoon on the couch!
I’ve heard it said that a rainy day at the beach is better than a sunny day back home. While I’m not 100% on board with this statement, I do know that a rainy day at the beach means lots of cuddling, snacking, and afternoon cat naps. It also means one rested mama, which makes for one happy family!
We got in about two hours of beach time each morning before the rain set in. Much of our time was spent trying to keep this little one entertained.
Beach time!
