hard rock princess


viktoria bjorn, my swedish friend here was visiting san francisco last month and brought back some 'groovy' onesies for miss vanya. i guess, one cannot hold back from buying something 'rainbowy' when in san fran. we love them and can't wait for vanya to fit into these kick ass pieces.

skater princess



the vans...its gotta be the vans. can u believe they make vans in baby sizes? well...miss donna kadell, my dear friend sent miss vanya a pair. and can i just say, they rock?!?!

donna kadell is a OC friend of mine that is currently creating havoc in san ramon, northern california. she is a top notch designer that i met while at ingram micro and we happened to be cube neighbors. if anyone needs a cube neighbor, donna is the best. she laughed at all my jokes, and thats really all that i require for friendship. cause when u do that, it shows you have good taste. jokes aside (hah hah). donna and i learned that we did both share the same sense of humor and love of cats and perfumes...i mean we really know our perfumes and perfume bottles. so we continued our friendship thru the years and as with all my friends..we keep in touch via email and its been greeeeeat!

donna is a true friend, cause she actually mailed extremely heavy products from johnson and johnson via regular mail..now thats some postage my dear. i would've put that on the slow boat to china..but hey..whats a few bucks between friends.

we love the shoes and as u can see from the pic, vanya wore them and i think she looks like a skater karate kicking mama. she's asleep but i wouldn't dare wake her. thanks again donna, you're too swell.

sheena : queen of the orange county jungle


what can i say about sheena? she's the younger sis of my best/oldest (since kindergarten) friend keri..and when i was about 8 or 9 i told her bluntly that i didn't like kids-meaning 'her'!!! it was funny then and funny now. as adults and now moms, we share a lot in common and have become closer and nicer to each other.

sheena is mom to two cutie tots named daryn and kelsey and has her hands full of girliness! she has sent baby vanya the cutest pink parade of gifts from her very first dress to some very warm and cuddly pink winter wear with matching pink ugg like boots. plus some tan boots to wear while lounging around in her humble abode. we love it all and cant wait to grow bigger to fit into them...something to look forward too indeed. thank you!!!

i was also the best bridesmaid sheena could have ever asked for...i mean who else would pick a fight with another bridesmaid and almost make matters worse? ahhh youth and carelessness...long gone...we can only hope!!!!

im hoping our kids can all meet one day and laugh & play!

the coleman has landed


sarah coleman is a red haired goddess....and i used to work with her over at my corporate gig at ingram micro before leaving for sweden. she is a ferocious pisces and has that 'je nais se quois' about her 24/7. her kind trinkets of love were a lovely frame for one of the hundreds of pics of miss vanya, a 'laugh' bookmark that im now using for my journal, some calming tazo tea and some powerful beads for my birthing beads necklace.

sarah always has an interesting perspective on all things and such a free spirit, i love shootin the shit with her about the latest entertainment gossip. :) and she's always, always in style, like big glasses and head scarf while driving a convertible. she's not in kansas anymore.

tiny supplementals...



little miss vanya received some onesies that fit her 'snuggaliciously' from aunty christy and cousin isabella from arizona.
all the newborn clothes we had for vanya were just ginormous on her and these cute onesies were a little less huge at the begining and very helpful. and a designy photo album for the already hundreds of pictures taken of this growing jasmine. so thank you!!!!!

of course now, miss vanya is nearing her 2 mth mark and the onesies are now fitting perfect and useful since the summer heat is now kicking in, here in sweden. :)
