Warm Love All! I hope every ones new year is off to a good beginning! Ours has been pretty good thus far. It seems as though organizing ones life never ceases to get easier, except I can say that I have developed a schedule and I am working on putting together a home planner which also includes my work/crafting/blogging ideas and schedules.(i will post about that later)

Nevertheless, we found out that we will be having a little girl!!! YAY!!! We we're all so very happy (especially my husband). To celebrate the news the little one and I made vanilla cupcakes with pink icing on them:) ([pictured above) LOL!

I am looking forward to nurturing a little goddess, although I must say that i am glad that I had a boy first. I always wanted a boy first because in my mind they were much easier to handle. Imsety is so very laid back...a bit rambunctious and filled with dare devil energy, but definitely laid back. I always pictured the time that we would have a girl would be when I really felt balanced physically and spiritually. What I mean is I wanted to make sure that in addition to the spiritual/philisophical/creative side of life that I would show her that taking care of her outer beauty is just important and special as well. I expect her to be quite different from me in style, yet I still want her to have a knowledge and respect for the domestic arts, painting her nails, adorning with henna and bindis and basically just creating the outer beauty she sees fit to share with the world and not be ashamed of it. I don't think that I was at that point about 5/6 years ago when I was pregnant with our son, my focus was on maintaining life and i put my outer beauty to the side quite a lot, so i am trying to get that balance back as it is crucial to me to have especially when having a little girl.

I think it will all be great. I am a bit nervous as to how the delivery will play out. You just never know what will happen when that time comes so all i can do to deter my worry is to visualize a healthy delivery. We saw her in the womb at 6 weeks and then again at 20 weeks and it was amazing to see the growth "spurt":) She has quite a set of lips on her and she seems to enjoy playing with her feet..LOL. Well, I guess that is all for now, hopefully along with my renewed schedule will come lots of great posts and features and hopefully a new craft business on the side! We will see!

Well, I hope all of you are on track with your goals and as usual I am so humbled and excited to see so many sisters in one spot who are willing to share a little bit of their life inspirations and to see so many women creating and networking with their business here on ymib! Thak you all for all you do.

With Warm Sister Love,
