From a mother's heart

Allison Zicree celebrated her first birthday on May 13, 2009. She passed her one year exam with flying colors. A month later her mom noticed that her active and lively girl was becoming listless after 3 days of fever. She stopped crawling, standing and bouncing. On June 12th, Allison's mom took her to the emergency room, and never left. Allison was diagnosed with Leukemia AML M7. The only way Allison will be a survivor is by finding a bone marrow donor.

"At 7:35 tonight Little Allison grew her wings and went to Heaven. it was peaceful and painfree for her. She was surrounded by friends and family and lots of love during her final day on earth. Thank you all for your endless thoughts and prayers for our angel baby." written by Nicole Zicree.

Baby Allison as sad and tearful we are that you have left this Earth, I feel that you are in a much safer and comfortable place...no more pain, no more suffering. You are our newest angel to watch over us. I pray that your parents Nicole and Shaun find comfort in knowing that you are in Jesus arms once again.
I may never had gotten the chance to feel your arms around me or hear your laughter but you've managed to touch my heart through your pictures. You were a fighter and a courageous bouncing baby full of love and happiness. In the short time that you've been here with us, you have touched and inspired many of us...rest in peace Angel Baby, rest in peace.

Let the madness begin...

Guess who is turning 2 in a couple of weeks? Oh yeah only a couple of weeks...and I (we) just decided to celebrate the upcoming birthday with a party. I tried to avoid doing it at the house due to parking restraints for guests but since I didn't prepare financially so that I could get the rooms at Torrance Civic Center I will have to settle for the house in hopes that my guests will eventually forgive me. I am adding in the invites about the rules of where to & not to park. One of the negative things about being in a gated community.
Today its official...I finished the guests lists and ready to slap on the addressed stickers so that I can mail them off tonight. With the help of Costco and Julie's suggestions (Thanks) the invite was finalized to be Hello Kitty themed with round circles of red, pink, green, yellow and blue-not too girly.
Next on the list is to order the cake, reserve the tables & chairs and air jumper. Hopefully there is a Hello Kitty one...otherwise I will have to settle for Disney Princessess but its still going to be a HK themed party...shoot Celeste & I already have the shirts to wear-HK of course.
Check out what I got for me while "visiting" the Sanrio store...
I am planning on not doing balloons this year and make these really cute tissue pompoms that I saw a couple of my internet/FB friends did for their parties. They got the instructions from Martha Stewart. I'll try one out and see how hard it is...some how doing it DIY seems to be the in thing lately for parties...could be due to the recession getting out the creativity out of us.
Its all a labor of love...basically it will take time so time for me to start...let the madness begin. :)
