A side note: I have not forgot about the stylist award that I received. I have been sick for the last month and am just starting to feel better. I am half way done picking bloggers for this award, I am trying to find people who don't have this award already, which is not easy. Also my dashboard is not letting me view alot of the blogs I follow. So please be patient, I should have the post up by the end of next week.

Take care and have a great Mothers Day!!!
