I can't believe I haven't written a post in over 2 years... 2 YEARS! Life just happens... And I feel like a million and one things have happened within those two years. I've gone from having a newborn and leaving my 9:00-5:00 job (<a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2014/01/monday-monday-la-la-la-la-la-la.html" target="_blank">last blog post</a>) to having a toddler and a baby in my belly, to now having 2 children. Family unit complete!</div>

There's been happy, sad, stressful moments. Friendships that have drifted apart and more that have grown stronger. Family drama, friend drama... Trips, travels and love in between. I've learned a lot... A lot about other people, but even more about myself.</div>

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Today is my birthday and I'm feeling 33 is a weird age... If we all have the life expectancy that we hope you reach 100 then that means 1/3 of my life is over... If it ends before that then it's even more over. The effect this is having me is just... "Girl, time to get your shit together" </span><br />

I feel so different since Chelsea has been born. Having a daughter has made me look at things a lot closer. A young girl can be very impressionable. It's making me examine the kind of influence I want to be on her, which has made me examine myself a lot more.</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">

<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
I've realized in the last 2 years I lost a bit of myself. Perhaps I was just caught up in new mommyhood, but I feel like I lost a piece of me. I used to be a confident person and maybe to some still appear to be one from the outside looking in. Somewhere along the line I put myself last and got a little lost. Where did my self confidence go? When did I become such a people pleaser? When did I start letting peoples negativity affect me so much? These traits coming forward are not something I want my daughter to see. I want her to be confident... I want her to be respectful and motivated to make her own way in this world.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
<br style="line-height: 1.2em;" /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
I will definitely say being pregnant again was not a confidence builder for me. Who's body is this? Am I supposed to be comfortable in it? I've said it all along and I will til the end... There are people who love being pregnant... And those that can't wait til the end... I'm the latter not glowing preggo. While I do count my blessings that I was able to get pregnant naturally with both of my children and there are those that are less fortunate... I'm so happy I never have to do it again. </div>

I feel like now that the part of my life where we're building our family is over, it's time to get back to "Girl, get your shit together" </div>

I'm going to ease back into blogging, I miss writing here. I've come up with a basic structure that focuses on things going on around town and spotlights on local artists so stay tuned. </div>

I feel like I'm shedding a layer of skin, blossoming, shit if I was a bird I would be molting. Ha! I can't take any of this old stuff with me. Starting fresh for myself feels so great. No more negativity... No negative people, no negative feelings, only onward and upward.... If I could just get medical clearance to start yoga again that would be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat (office space voice) :)</div>

Last year, (before I knew I was preggo...actually I think I was pregnant in the photos and didn't know it) I was involved in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SelfRevealed" target="_blank">Self Revealed: The Naked Photography Project</a>. I can only count on my one hand the amount of people that knew I did this. Self Revealed is a photography project in which women of all ages, sizes and color have the opportunity to express & validate their beauty on their terms. It's about body acceptance. No matter what you weight, size, color or creed it's about loving yourself and the skin you're in. Over 100 women had their photos taken.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
I did it... And holy shit was it liberating!</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 1.2em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; zoom: 1;">
I didn't share this with very many people as I was too concerned about the judgement or thoughts from other friends and family. The me now is like wtf were you thinking! This is absolutely ridiculous! I'm so proud to be a part of this project! The exhibit will run at <a href="http://www.gallery2014.com/" target="_blank">Gallery 2014</a> into April</div>

Monday I did something I've dreamed about every single day since I started <a href="http://www.greencycledesigns.com/" target="_blank">Green Cycle Designs</a>... I quit my day job. No, I didn't walk in and scream, "I won the lottery, I'm outta here!" I very calmly (with my heart beating out of my chest thinking I was having <a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2013/03/its-been-while-again.html" target="_blank">another awesome episode</a>) did it. I did it.... I DID IT! I gave notice and as of February 1st I will officially be my own CEO, CFO, COO & most importantly... Artist & Mommy! Ask me what I do for a living, "I'm an artist!" Can you say lifelong dream being fulfilled?!<br />
<br />
Although I've been dreaming about this for a very long time, I have 2 very special boys in my life that made it a reality. First of all being my husband for believing in me every step of the way. For the 6 years that <a href="http://www.etsy.com/greencycledesigns" target="_blank">GCD</a> has been around he's been my "unpaid intern". That's a long time to not collect a paycheck :) He helps me at every show, he shleps everything, packs the car, paints stems for me and he even secretly sometimes gets creative and we say that I made it... Shhhhh :) Thank you Andy, a million times over. I love you!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
And secondly my Baby Max... Yes, my son who all he can say is "Eggy", scream for fun and blow raspberries has 100% motivated me to do it. <br />
<br />
You see when I first went back to work from my maternity leave I was a mess. Max had reflux for the first couple months and we were just getting into our routine and having fun and then BOOP! time to go back to reality. I realized in that first week that by the time I picked him up and got him home, I only had 2 hours a day with him. 2 hours a day, 5 days a week and that being if he didn't take a nap when we got home. Did I say I was a mess?<br />
<br />
I would ask family and friends how they did it and was returned with "you make it work" or "it just kind of becomes your routine" and even some answers of "Ugh, aren't you excited to go back to work?" and I can remember thinking, "NO! This is not for me! This is not what I want for my life!"<br />
<br />
So as the story goes I went to my parents one day to pick up Max, I don't know maybe a week or so into my return to work and had an absolute melt down. I needed to be with my baby... not want... NEED. It's crazy that this primal instinct comes over you when you become a mom... Like they aren't lying when they say you would literally jump in front of a train for them. After a long discussion and picking up all the pieces of my heart I decided what I had to do..... I needed to make it work.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I went home to Andy that day and had a long discussion. We agreed that since season was upon us (Christmas is just that for etsy sellers.... Christmas!) we would see how it goes and take it from there. This of course gave me permission to be an absolute crazy person and stay up until 1:00am and then get up with Max at 5:00am. I did this for oh maybe 2 months straight, became a zombie, didn't see any friends, folded paper anywhere I could, got a terrible flu.....but you know what.... I did it... I FUCKING DID IT! ahem... excuse my French, but I did it! <br />
<br />
I remember reading a book a few years ago... I want to say it was the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Committed-Love-Story-Elizabeth-Gilbert/dp/0143118706/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1389187881&sr=1-4&keywords=eat+pray+love" target="_blank">terrible follow-up to the book Eat Pray Love</a> and in one part she goes off on a tangent about how much her mom sacrificed for her and how she had to put her own dreams and desires aside and leave them unfulfilled. I remember thinking at that time too... "No! It doesn't have to be that way if you don't want it to be!" The only obstacle in front of you is yourself and if you want something bad enough, you can do it! You may have to bust your ass and catch a wicked flu to get it, but you'll get it. <br />

I feel like the before and after Tara... And so far I'm loving the after Tara. This is me... This is what I'm meant to do, be and feel. I've grown <a href="http://www.etsy.com/greencycledesigns" target="_blank">GCD</a> so much over the past 6 years so much with working a steady 9:00-5:00, that I'm over the moon to see where I can take it when it's my full time job.<br />
<br />
Thank you to all of my family and friends for being my endless support system. You come to shows, you buy and gift my wares, you help me fold, you lend me tables, <a href="http://instagram.com/p/KYcOHMCGjU/" target="_blank">you make silly pretzel banana caterpillars</a> with me at shows... you're just the best group of people a girl could surround herself with and I'm endlessly grateful. I couldn't do it without you....<br />
<br />
So on that note, I just want to say cheers to 2014! I hope it brings you everything you want and desire in life, it can if you want it to :)<br />

July 11, 2013 is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life. It will be up there in that "happiest days of your life" category along with your wedding day and any other milestone days that may stand out in life. I'm going to be a mom tomorrow... It's a lot to take in, regardless of having the 9 months to prepare it's a huge moment.<br />
<br />
I went to the OB yesterday (my due date) and this little boy in my belly has completely stalled out. What seemed like he was making crazy fast progress a month or a little more ago had me thinking he would be here early, he then decided to just hang out... and grow... and grow.. and grow... to oh about the 9 lbs they think he is now. My belly is measuring 42 weeks and I'm 40 weeks - I've removed the newborn clothes from my hospital bag.<br />
<br />
So because of various things, mainly his size, how high up he is and the fact that my body is doing nothing to help him progress downward, my doctor and I determined my little boy will enter the world tomorrow at 2:30pm, 2 days late via c section.<br />
<br />
Andy and I are extremely excited to meet him... And I'm extremely excited to sleep on my stomach again.<br />
<br />
I just put the bottle of champagne from my baby shower in the fridge (Thanks Cari) and I'm trying to figure out where to have our final meal as a twosome tonight. Though I'm not exactly thrilled at the idea of the baby being pulled out of me, it's kinda cool that I can just go in and have my baby. Ask me about this again when I'm in recovery... :)<br />
<br />
I was a little melancholy yesterday that I won't get to experience the thrill of my water breaking and the rush of running to the hospital to do the one thing my body was made to do... But I can sulk on this or I can get excited that I will be holding my son tomorrow... I choose the latter.<br />
<br />
So think of us tomorrow at 2:30 when we welcome the newest Ackerman to the world... Love to you all!<br />

<br />
I think birthdays always put me in a reflective state (<a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-ive-learned-or-reflections-on-28.html">as you can see last year here</a>) and I've truly got a lot to be thankful for in this past year. I was warned that 30 was difficult for a lot of people, but so far it's only a number to me. I'm overall just grateful to be here.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I had a health scare when I woke up in the middle of the night with my heart pounding out of my chest. It literally woke me up. This has happened to me before, but always in the middle of the day and I've been able to kinda calm it down and stop it within 5-10 minutes. This went on for 45 minutes. I ended up waking Andy up and we went to the Emergency Room where 6 people rushed in, put electrodes on me, put 2 IV's in my arm, and told me there's nothing they can do for me without harming my child. "We can electric shock you, but we have to sedate you and we're not sure if it will harm the baby" or "we can give you drugs that we're not sure will harm the baby" AWESOME!<br />
<br />
Soooo I ended up extremely lucky because they tried some holistic things first like ice all over my face and an artery massage. Finally, they gave me a beta blocker in my IV and that did the trick. No electrocution of me or the baby necessary. We went to my OB and baby is doing fine but, also going to a cardiologist today to find out wtf is happening in there. The entire thing feels like a bad dream.....<br />

Once again this has made me realize how extremely short and fragile life is. And how many blessings I have. Talk about a wake-up call before a monumental birthday.<br />
<br />
So today, I'm counting some of the things I'm grateful for....<br />
<br />
My mom had a <a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2012/06/life-from-icu-18.html">horrific accident</a> this year that she has fully recovered from (though she will sometimes talk about her scrambled eggs brain) :) It's more of a joke at this point. I appreciate her with all my heart and the love and friendship we have.<br />

My amazing husband. It's so hard to believe that Andy and I have been together for 11 years (what?!) because the time just flies by. I have truly found the tweedle dee to my dum, my best friend and the love of my life. I'm so ready and excited to move onto the next stage of our lives together. I love you!<br />

Getting pregnant, which while trying felt like it took forever to finally happen and was stressful, was rewarding and life lessons were definitely learned. Although you think you can control your body, sometimes you can't and it's totally out of your hands. There is a master plan for all of us though. I think the 6 months it took was actually not so bad (hindsight is always 20/20) and the timing for when our baby boy will come is impeccable.<br />

Happy Birthday! I couldn't let you off the hook without an embarrassing birthday post like <a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2012/08/happy-birthday-maria.html">Marie's</a> :)<br />
<br />
What started as an ew moment at the Sawgrass Mall in 2005 has moved into an amazing friendship that can't be compared - Thanks for being a friend, confidant and overall pusher smurf. Who doesn't want a best friend who has the same wardrobe and shoe size? Just think, in 40 years when we're living together and going to Bingo, we'll only have to buy one instead of two of everything.<br />
<br />
So, without further adieu... Embarrassment and good times -<br />

Not that I don't want to, but the trash kind of has to make way for things I've really really been dying to read. Ahhhh to sit and read all day.... that's the life!<br />
<br />
Here are the books I made my way through this summer....<br />

An awesome book about the man that has changed a lot of our lives forever. Complete asshole? Yes... But every genius is entitled to their quirks. The best is that he knew he was an asshole.. Ok maybe not the best, but it sure was entertaining. It was interesting to learn how much of a hippie he was (you know me). Also loved the stories of <a href="http://www.pixar.com/">Pixar</a> and his contribution... Downsides were denying paternity to his daughter almost to the point of a DNA test and his reality distortion field. Still, soooo talented!<br />

Ok so I'm kind of cheating on this one... I'm in the middle of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mockingjay-The-Hunger-Games-Book/dp/0439023513">Mockingjay</a> (the third book). I must admit that taking a break from my obsession with non-fiction was great. Will Katniss and Peeta end up together? Ahhhh... the suspense! Don't tell me! This was also one of those stories where you see the movie and the book is so much better. Isn't the book always better?<br />

If you couldn't tell already I love reading biographies. Especially biographies about those who were alive during the 60's and 70's. Maria told me once that I was born in the wrong decade. I still don't know how to digest that one because I think I was too. So what's better than to read about it? Keith was a really bad drug addict, but incredibly talented. He had a head injury almost exactly like my mom so that was interesting as well. It's a thick book, but well worth it. I especially loved the stories about him and John Lennon... sigh...<br />

I loved this book so much. It made me want to bring Amy back... She was so troubled and would have led a much better life had her husband Blake not entered it. I love all of her music so learning the different things that inspired the songs and lyrics was a real treat. I also learned that she spent some time in Miami to record her albums. I sent a tweet to Amy's dad <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchwinehouse">Mitch</a> after I read the book thanking him for the glimpse into their lives and he was nice enough to follow me back. Thanks <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchwinehouse">Mitch!</a><br />

A short book of only about 100 pages. I read about this book on the <a href="http://www.toryburch.com/blog/torys-blog,default,pg.html">Tory Burch blog</a> and must say it was a great little read. While I suppose it would be classified as a Buddhist book it has great stories and practices for awakening your heart to the love around you. It can be finished in an hour and I highly recommend it. You should totally put in on your library hold list like I suggested <a href="http://greentaralove.blogspot.com/2012/08/wednesday-obsessions-or-free-netflix.html">here</a>. :)<br />
<br />
So that's about it... Still not on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fifty-Shades-Grey-Book-Trilogy/dp/0345803485/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347456909&sr=1-1&keywords=50+shades+of+gray">50 Shades of Grey</a> bus.... nope... not doing it!<br />
<br />
All of these books are amazing... I feel a Reading Rainbow Lavar Burton moment coming on... "But you don't have to take my word for it!"<br />

This will be the fourth year of the event and I'm proud to say that I've been buzzed shopping at the last three! Who doesn't like free wine, samples, deep discounts and posing in front of step and repeats?! It is, however, the end of a mini 2 year era with <a href="https://twitter.com/SaraO_Librarian">Sara</a> and I attending since she moved away. You'll be with us in spirit darling!!!<br />

<a href="http://www.aventuramall.com/">Aventura Mall</a> -<br />
<br />
This has been our go-to spot for the last 2 years. It has been host to everyone from <a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway">Project Runway</a> designers to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Housewives_of_New_York_City">Jill and Bobby Zarin</a> to <a href="http://www.stevemadden.com/">Steve Madden</a> and this year is no exception. This year Macy's is hosting a fashion show with Real Housewives of NYC <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LuAnn_de_Lesseps">Luann de Lesseps</a> and supermodel <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niki_Taylor">Niki Taylor</a>. Spend $75 at Macy's and you can meet them too! In years past (I'm sure this year is the same) the entire mall turns into a party. Every store has free food and drinks and you can walk around from store to store eating and sipping. Buzzed purchase anyone?

I bought a <a href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiHome">Netflix</a> subscription back in 2005, but it kept getting more and more expensive and they would make you wait weeks, some times months for a new release. Andy finally convinced me to stop wasting $25 a month on the DVD's and Blurays that would just sit on our coffee table... sometimes for months...<br />
<br />
I remember a few years ago when <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0893382">Shine a Light</a> came out... I had that in my house for a record 3 months... 3 MONTHS!!! I never watched it... I recently did though and it was terrible (I'm just not a Stones freak I guess) but that made me think... I spent $75 for a movie to sit on my coffee table for 3 months! I could have purchased it 4 or 5 times over! I still have the streaming version of <a href="http://movies.netflix.com/WiHome">Netflix</a> for my <a href="http://www.apple.com/appletv/">Appletv.</a> It's only $7.99 a month and for whatever reason I can't bring myself to cancel it.<br />
<br />
It's been only over the past couple years that I've discovered a new **FREE** way to watch movies.....<br />
<br />
Behold the <a href="http://www.broward.org/library/Pages/Default.aspx">Broward County Public Library System</a>... Or as I like to call it FREE NETFLIX!!!<br />

It's absolutely 100% the most amazing thing ever. Do you have a library card? Great! You're all set to get started! All you need to do is access the <a href="http://catalog.browardlibrary.org/carlweb/jsp/search_page.jsp">Broward County Library Catalog</a>, search for your movie, place a hold and choose which branch to pick it up... Seriously, it's just that simple!!<br />

The library staff will transfer, pick up and hold the movie for you. You'll get an email when it's ready and all you have to do is drive your pretty little self to the branch, go to the front desk and voila! It's yours for about a week! As a matter of fact 10 can be - 10 is the limit for checking out movies... Not too shabby!<br />

Last year I remember watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120889/">What Dreams May Come</a> and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062803/">Chitty Chitty Bang Bang</a>... Two movies I had wanted to see since I was little... Crazy right? Who goes through childhood without seeing <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062803/">Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!?!</a><br />
<br />
Of course this system works for any other thing that the library has to offer you too. Of course it could also cost you just a little cash money if you return the movie late. If you want it longer though, you can renew right from the website. When you're done with your item you can also drop it off at any Broward County library and they will return it to its originating branch. They basically do all the work for you!<br />

I literally couldn't put it down and finished it within a 24 hour period.<br />

First off let me say I can't believe I read something on the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/combined-print-and-e-book-nonfiction/list.html">NY Times Best Seller list</a>! (without realizing it of course)! It's the little things....<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Lawson">Jenny Lawson</a>, originally from Wall, Texas is full of some of the funniest stories you'll ever hear. She admits herself that she had to call it a mostly true memoir to protect the people within the book. She claims, "the moment you think you've heard the most fucked up crazy stories... Those are the true ones" And it's true!<br />
<br />
Her stories range everywhere from childhood in the most rural of rural towns (including a class in high school where she had to inseminate a cow and gets her arm stuck up in there) to stories of childbirth, her obsession with oddball taxidermy and her loving and hopeless husband Victor.<br />

She has a sarcastic tone that carries throughout the book and is so refreshing to hear. If you love <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_9?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=jenny+mccarthy&sprefix=jenny+mcc%2Caps%2C245">Jenny McCarthy</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_4?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=chelsea+handler&sprefix=chel%2Caps%2C145&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Achelsea+handler">Chelsea Handler</a> books, this one's for you!<br />
<br />
Jenny was also named one of the Nielson Top 50 Most Powerful Mom Bloggers and Forbes listed her blog as one of their Top 100 Websites for Women.<br />
<br />
After finishing the book, the fun and hilarity continues on her blog - <a href="http://theblogess.com/">theblogess.com</a> - You'll get daily shenanigans that will have you rolling in your office chair.<br />

We're leaving for <a href="http://www.fla-keys.com/">Key West</a> on Friday morning! I haven't been down there since I was about 15 years old which is a CRIME being that we live only a few hours away!<br />
<br />
We're going down to celebrate Keith's 40th Birthday and staying at <a href="http://www.casamarinaresort.com/">Casa Marina</a>. I've heard so many amazing things about the hotel, I can't wait to experience it in person. Also can't wait for the drive down - It's supposed to be an awe inspiring drive. When you're 15 you could care less about that... <br />

The WayfarerI know I know, I'm waaaaaayyyyyy behind the boat on this one.<br />
<br />
Last week during my amazing week off vacation I made a trip to <a href="http://www.simon.com/mall/?id=144">Boca Town Center</a> with <a href="https://twitter.com/DoopieMoos">Mrs. Doopiemoos</a> for a little retail therapy. Within this retail therapy I had a little inkling of what I had set out to buy.<br />
<br />
Behold the <a href="http://www.ray-ban.com/usa/sunglasses?cat=19">Wayfarer</a>....<br />
<br />

<br />
The little black dress of the sunglass world, I had always admired them, those that wear them and the classic chic look that they bring, but had never realized the history behind them. I'm talking way deeper than just a little <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086200/">Risky Business</a>.<br />
<br />
They've been around since 1956 and have adorned the most classic of classic (and some maybe not so classic)...<br />

It could have been even more fun had I not succumb to a stomach bug on Saturday night, yuck! I pushed myself through <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/476997788994491/">Indie Craft Bazaar</a>, but after packing up the car and sitting down for dinner at <a href="http://tarponbend.com/">Tarpon Bend</a>, the spins and aches came on full throttle. Props to the Edelmans and Andy for noticing I did not look right and needed to go home. Feeling much better this Monday thank you very much!<br />
<br />
Here's a breakdown of the two events that made my weekend!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.grouplovemusic.com/">Grouplove</a> at <a href="http://www.ricochetlounge.com/">Ricochet</a>:<br />

<br />
<br />
I can't say thank you enough to <a href="http://www.musicobsessed.com/">South Florida Music Obesessed</a> for getting Andy and I into this invite only show. After last seeing them playing for thousands streaming <a href="http://www.bonnaroo.com/">Bonnaroo</a> at home, this was such a special treat. I mean there were maybe 100 people there. Such a blast! I'm gonna "bump the beats till beddy bye" for a while to come!<br />

It was a great show and had an amazing turnout! I have the best friends in the world that keep coming back to visit and even managed to make a few new ones. It's so crazy how you can meet people nowadays! My best ICB meetup would have to be Ashley. We met on instagram (crazy right?!) and she takes the most amazing South Florida pics, not to mention shes a super cool chick! Why did we not get a pic together?! Next time! Follow <a href="http://instacanv.as/downtownftl">Ashley and her amazing pics here.</a><br />

There will be over 60+ food and art vendors all with an indie flair. I can't say it enough how much I love buying something that is one of a kind made by an actual person sitting in front of you. It's awesome to know you're supporting local artists. Did I mention there will be live music by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/EmilySheilaMusic">Emily Sheila</a> and a vintage fashion show by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pivintage">Public Image Vintage</a>? How cool is that?<br />

I would like to give you a little preview with some of the vendors that I keep coming back to and think you'll love them too:<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">Finally.... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">After almost 3 weeks since the accident, my mom was able to go home on Friday morning! The accident happened on Monday morning, June 18th. She went to <a href="http://www.westsideregional.com/">Westside Regional</a> that morning for emergency surgery and was released to go to <a href="http://www.healthsouth.com/">HealthSouth</a> the following Monday, June 25th. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The week before she went to <a href="http://www.healthsouth.com/">HealthSouth</a> was the toughest week I've ever experienced in my life. So many thoughts about life and the way it can change without warning at any moment... </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">The surgery was an emergency brain surgery, she had hit her head so hard on the sidewalk that her brain "twisted" if you will and all of the fluid went from one side to the other. This turned into a major contusion and clot that needed to be removed ASAP. He actually had to remove a piece of her skull to get it out and then put it back in with rivets. The surgeon, who is hilarious, told everyone not to worry. The table he put her skull down on was sterilized and he cleaned it off before he put it back in her head. Thanks Dr. Foltz!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">So... after a few hours in surgery and 25 staples in her head, she was out and expected to make a full recovery. After the surgery my mom spoke with us for a couple days and then went into a hibernation of sorts for 5 days. She was not responding to us and from what we fearing, was getting worse. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ffe599;">All of that ended on Sunday morning the 24th. My dad went in early that morning and was greeted with a "Hello!" from my mom. Such an amazing miracle.... the doctors all told us that she would be back (the swelling needed to go down before she would be back to see us), but it was so rough that week. My dad called me that morning from the hospital with a little, "Someone wants to say hello to you" When I got there, I cried like a baby. I was just so happy to hear her voice, see her and know that she was improving. Each day since then has been better and better.

This entire experience has taught me some major life lessons... Most importantly, that life is too short for anything else but love. Treat everyone as if it will be the last time you will ever see them. Hold on to that hug for another couple seconds. Tell people you love them. Don't hold grudges. Keep moving forward. I would never want to look back and say what if; this has taught me that 10 fold.<br />
<br />
Thank you all for everything you've done for us over the past few weeks. The outpouring of love is definitely what has kept us all strong! <span style="background-color: white;">I love you all, XO - Tara</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07490232805404565786noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920447554127053894.post-24323888949058406192012-07-05T11:49:00.000-04:002012-07-05T11:49:10.427-04:00Wednesday Obsessions on Thursday....Happy post 4th of July everyone, I hope you all got to bed at a decent hour last night.

1. Slubby Shirts from <a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/">Anthropologie</a> -<br />
<br />
If we've hung out in the past 3 months, chances are I was wearing one of these beauties. I now own them in black, white, yellow AND my latest addition - Grey. They are on extreme sale now (I just snuck out of work to buy one for $25!) They are oh so comfy and loose and come with these two huge pockets - Perfect for optional hands free iphone handling!<br />

I love a good photo editing app... When I came across another blogger raving about this one, I had to see what the fuss was all about. It's pretty damn nifty! With pre-made amazing photo overlays you can create an inspiring piece for your twittering, instagraming, facebook pleasure in a flash. It is free and is available in the itunes app store! <span style="background-color: white;">Here are some of my creations - </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">I have never ever ever owned or thought about purchasing a pair of boat shoes. That is until the other night when Andy and I went to Off 5th Saks at Sawgrass in search for the perfect birthday gift for little Sam Edelman. In the midst of my retail therapy, I came across these beauties at a steep discount. They are hot pink and make such a fun statement - Did I mention they are <a href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/store/SiteController/sperry/productdetails?catId=cat90048DM&subCatId=cat100150DM&showDefaultOption=true&stockNumber=9531591&skuId=***7********9531591*M095&productId=7-136180&&subCatId=cat100150DM&productId=7-136180&stockNumber=9531591&subCatTabId=&catId=cat90048DM&productdisplayName=Women's+Cloud+Logo+Authentic+Original+2-Eye+Boat+Shoe&subcatdisplayName=Boat+Shoes&skuId=***7********9531591*M095&pageIdentifier=productdetail&catdisplayName=Women&showDefaultOption=true">Sperry Topsiders</a>?!

It's been a while since I've written a blog post, so much for the structure aspect - Sometimes life throws you a curveball.<br />
<br />
I always write here about the fun goings on in life - Life is one big celebration (at least that's how I like to think of it) I've learned though when it gets rough is when you learn the biggest lessons. <br />
<br />
For those that aren't aware, my mom had a pretty bad accident on Monday morning. She was out walking the dogs by their house on Sunrise Blvd when a jogger passed by too close to her and the dog, protecting her, lunged forward which she wasn't expecting and she fell and hit her head on the sidewalk. <br />
<br />
There were quite a few good samaritans that must have pulled over (for those who are familiar with the area she fell close to Best Buy) When she fell, she let go of the leash and the dog ran home. One of those amazing good samaritans followed the dog home which is the way my dad found out she fell.<br />
<br />
She went by ambulance to Westside Regional and we've been here since. She had to have emergency surgery to remove a blood clot the size of your hand. The surgery was a success and she's expected to make a full recovery, it will just take time.<br />
<br />
This whole experience has made me realize a lot of things. Most of all the enormous support system we have around us. Thank you so much for all of you contacting us to check how she's doing. Feeling the support is really getting us through this.<br />
<br />
*** An Update, I originally wrote the above on Saturday morning and lost track of time to publish, but I am SO happy to report that she has made the most amazing turnaround in the last 48 hours or so. We've moved up to a regular room and she's feeling more herself and is making strides... We couldn't be happier!<br />
<br />
Thank you again, we couldn't make it through this without all the love. Love you all!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07490232805404565786noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920447554127053894.post-76067699372451332292012-06-11T08:20:00.000-04:002012-06-11T08:20:58.900-04:00Mangia Monday - Bru's Room Coconut CreekThis past Saturday night we made the trek up to Coconut Creek and enjoyed the <a href="http://www.nba.com/heat/">Miami Heat</a> Game at <a href="http://www.brusroom.com/">Bru's Room</a>.<br />
<br />
There are 50 million tvs (slight exaggeration) and plenty of space for you and 500 of your closest friends in this multi-room mega-plex. <a href="http://www.brusroom.com/">Bru's</a> has several locations, but this one is definitely the largest. <br />

<br />
While we did have to get there almost 3 hours early to secure the best
seat in the house (a booth with plenty of room in the corner), it was definitely worth it once the crowd started
rolling in. We feasted on wings, beers, drinks and 4th quarter
cheeseburgers! Best of all - <a href="http://www.nba.com/heat/">The Heat</a> won!<br />
