Gaga For Lulu

The Big Guy can still surprise me every now and then. He holds a full time day job contracted to US Army as an IT type project manager. He has also had a company on the side for the last 3 years, a web development, SEO, web commerce type thing. Well, this “thing” as I call it has been fairly successful and has more than supplemented our income. So when I went to his site yesterday to check out any new information he had posted I was surprised to read this, “While it’s been no secret to some, Fresh Yields has temporarily closed it’s doors. Well, that should be door, since it was just the front door to my house”.

What the hell? The Big Guy has decided dedicate his site to his own blog, a blog for Steve, and offer his Internet services no more, at least for now. I was shocked. This is why I love this freakin’ guy, he can annoy the living shit out of me and then go and do something like this for the good of our family. Since his business has slowed over the last few months, there has been no fighting, a lot more kiddie time, and a much better attitude on The Big Guy’s part. All has equaled a lot less stress!

I did what any good wife would do, commented on his blog. LOL!! After that and a good cry, I am a little sad for him, he is a very proud man and I know this decision was a small blow to his ego, I gave him a call and thanked him. Later on I thanked him some more, bow chicka bow, wink wink (just kiddin’, we really fell asleep, that was just me daydreaming for a second).

His first post on his site, Fresh Yields, was an explanation on how he came to this decision. The second was the point of this very flippin’ long winded post of mine. He wrote about Mommy bloggers. He is so damn funny. Now, the article was very complimentary to myself and all of the blogs that usually visit me and the ones’s I frequent. But then he went there and commented on “the white keds wearing”(I’m sorry if he offended anyone, we don’t wear them around B’more anymore) type of do good Mommy’s that paint the world a beautiful shade of pink. You know, the ones that have horseshoes up their asses and shit rainbows. I actually do know some people like this and I would love to piss on their parade, haha.

Go check it out, he called most of us The Joan Jett’s of blogging, hee hee. No, I don’t frequent her music but do take it as a compliment. I must admit, The Big Guy is pretty damn funny. He is witty and very real, no surprise since he is married to me, Queen Bitchy Pants!

Having three daughters within 3 years, I have bought more than my fair share of shoes. I discovered an alternative to the traditional hard bootie shoe when my oldest, now 6, was an infant.

We recieved a pair of pink and purple Robeez as a gift from a friend. When I first opened the shoes, I thought how unpractical. I could not have been more wrong. My kids have wide, and I mean wide, feet. The shoes fit perfectly, they were strechy, durable and most of all cute! I was able to pass the shoes through all 3 of my daughters. I have gotten countless compliments on the shoes over the years and I always give them as a baby gift!

Since we first found Robeez, there have been many new companies designing solf-soled shoes, which is wonderful! We here at Gaga For Lulu are proud to have Isabubu Designs, the creator of Isabooties™, as a sponsor. Instead of leather, Isabooties™ are crafted from Ultrasuede®, a super-soft and breathable fabric. And unlike the styles of other soft-soled baby shoes, IsaBooties™ combine bold color block designs with distinctive European ribbon to create a fresh new look in soft-soled baby shoes.

Thanks to Cool Steals and Deals Online for the find!
