My cousins had the best barbie house ever. It had everything from carpet, curtains in every window, to a kitchen sink, more impressive they made most of it. My cousin Ruth was closest in age to me so we always played with her Barbies. But her sister Liz had the Barbie that I coveted, Sweet Roses P.J.

She even smelt beautiful, and I blame that doll for my obsession with peonies. Because even though they said she smelt like roses, she really smelt like peonies on the last days of spring, and her dress looks just like it. I have put a personal plea with kingdom up above to have a dress like this waiting for me when I get there. I know that’s a morbid thought, but its the truth.

Its hard when you run across what someone you compared yourself with in college. I just found one of the afore-mentioned’s blog, and feel a little like weeping. While I was busy getting married, buying a house and having a baby, it seems that she created a career and her talen. She now surpasses me in many ways. Its like a tiny bitter pill that just sits under your tongue not easily desolved. What am I making of my self other than a bedraggled, diaper changing hous-frau.  If this post is gone an hour from now you know my self pride ate me up until I just deleted this.

DSC00857, originally uploaded by hannahlaura.So this is my baby boy on Halloween in his one-of-a-kind-my-mommy-loves-me monster outfit, inspired by a board book from the dollar section at Target.Dad of course being a designer followed through with the ‘branding” on his monster jack-o-lantern.

Its been almost 11 months since I have posted something, but now I guess I get to post the greatest thing: My son Aidan

IF  that isnt enough he has given me plenty of inspiration the past few months from designing his room to his “designer” clothes. I hope to post more of those in the following days!

Art’s Uncle passed away last Sunday after his second round with cancer, he is at peace.

We have had a happy event also, a new member to our family.

Lil’ Lu has become a part of our family at the Beisang house and has claimed all of our hearts even Bismark’s.

Also one happy Thanksgiving shot of how happy my honey makes me!!

First a Picture of my lazy dog napping in the sun, because he doesnt have to pack. We bought a HOUSE! So busy busy busy.

Also a co-worker loves the Ugly Dolls. So being broke from being in the process of buying a house I made her an “UGLY” cat and well it is sort of Ugly!

Just a note to thank the wonderful man who got this all up and running for me and makes every day a happy one for me ( most day I am currently waiting for him to get done with one of his long meeting with “the clients” as we like to call them. So thanks again Arthur, you are one in a million!
