With Father's Day fast approaching, I thought it would be fun to make some printables using my favorite quotes about Dads. I love these quotes! They make me realize how lucky I am to have such a great dad. Also, this is my husband's first Father's Day and I'm extra grateful to him for being so sweet to our little girl!

The Sprout channel may soon be unavailable to some DIRECTV customers. Sprout has been negotiating with DIRECTV for more than a year to renew our agreement at market rates consistent with our prior deal and at distribution levels consistent with other major distributors. Sprout does not support DIRECTV's decision to restrict access to our network, forcing their subscribers to pay more money to get Sprout. As a result, millions of families will no longer be able to watch our quality, trusted children's programming which has become an integral part of their daily lives. We urge viewers to call DIRECTV through 1-866-9-SPROUT to demand that Sprout is returned to where it was on their lineup, and to make their concerns known at SaveSprout.com. Your voice can definitely make an impact. Here are all of the ways you can show your support: Call 1-866-9-SPROUT to let DIRECTV know how important Sprout is to you and your family. Sign our quick and easy petition by entering your information in the box above. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates and to help spread the word. Encourage your friends and family to get involved. Every voice will help Save Sprout.
This white garlic pizza grilled cheese is everything you crave in pizza and grilled cheese in one sandwich!
Last weekend we once again celebrated the coming of Miss Juliet. Leigh gave me a darling storybook shower. It was perfect! Leigh, of course, is the perfect party planner and with the assistance of Ashley Murry, threw an amazing tea party. It was decorated adorably...I'll let the pictures tell that story. Using favorite stories from our childhood, Leigh correlated each tasty treat with a book. For example, Mama's favorite book to read to us was "Good Night Moon." Leigh and I always thought the moon looked like sliced cucumbers, so beside the cucumber sandwiches was a picture of the book "Good Night Moon." "Hop on Pop" was another favorite. Beside it was sausage balls, which is (soon to be pop) Justin's favorite treat. Some were a bit easier to get such as some amazing chocolate, chocolate chip cookies called Chocolate Oodles next to "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie." I had that book memorized by-the-way. We played some wonderfully fun games, Storybook Charades, Find the Bottle (tiny bottles were hidden around the room and we had to find them) and Guess This Baby Food Flavor. And everyone assisted in building Juliet's library with a book or three! I was a beautiful day and was so thankful family and friends traveled for the special occasion. Beautiful parties happen here... The beautiful centerpiece Tea is served...Monk's Blend Tea is the best & the little dress is what Mama & Daddy brought Leigh home in. Carrot Cake: Pat the Bunny Cinderella & Cucumber Sandwiches: Good Night Moon Another flower arrangement in the same bootie vase Mama received flowers in while in the hospital giving birth. Dorothy looking over the scones. Leigh, me [& Juliet @ 32 weeks] and Ashley Leigh, me [& Juliet] and Mama Little Red Riding Hood conceals a baby bottle in her basket. Aunt "Sister" acting out The Digginest Dog. Aunt Becky and I sample the unidentified baby food...mixed green veggies, yuck! Rachel writes a sweet message to Juliet. A book for Juliet from Aunt Kama. Lucy gave Juliet a book too, I Can Teach My Dog 100 Words. A surprise from Mama, Daddy, & Leigh...a glider to sit in to read to Juliet!! Juliet's first picture with her BFFs, Sonora & Wynn.
