I cannot thank you enough! We gave Oakley a bath last night and he is skin and bones. He slept with my Son all night long, and has been snuggled in bed with my Husband all night. He is so happy to be home. We are so happy! Sorry for keeping you up so late last night! We are all so happy to have Oakley home, I'm not sure he would have lasted much longer. I need to plump him back up!

I'm dressing up as a toddlers and tiaras girl

My 2 Older Kids went to H. Jones and Loved it. Not 1 issue.

Thank you sooo much! We will be back in the am to look for him again.

That is SO good to hear! I will be over there tonight again and this weekend looking for him. We thought that he got hit by a car or a larger animal got him! What time of day are you seeing him? Thank you so much for leaving food out, I can bring some over if you want. My Number is 678-764-5377 if you see him call me, or if you trap him. What street are you on so I can look in that area!

I just had to share my Sweet DD's Pics from her last Pageant, for all of you who think pageants sexualize Children. Even her outfits on Toddlers and Tiaras were adorable, but I think these are too sweet....I am seeing some of the earlier posts late. And FYI, you don't have to push the Limits to win, My Little Won in the outfits below.

I put my old house on the market since we just bought a new one, and I had 5 offers, some of which were thousands over asking price in the 1st two days on mls. They were ALL cash offers! I'm okay with it as a seller!

Once upon a time and Dexter

Obviously, you have selective memory. As I have stated on here, and to you numerous times before, and as I stated on Toddlers and Tiaras ( But it was cut to make for better reality TV) Bella had a biting problem from 12-18 months. We took her to a behavior therapist in Marietta to stop the behavior. She has not bit since she was 18 months and she is 33 months now. She has been with a Nanny for a year, and goes to church preschool 2 days a week, where she is a perfect angel. She also does not bite in gymnastics, pageants, play groups, or anywhere else. So come up with something new.

Oh, and my 2 year old does give back to the community, thank you. We started " Bella's Bear Hugs" . We collect new and almost new stuffed animals to give to Children in the Hospital. It is a scary time to be in the hospital, and a stuffed animal helps. My 2 year old helps sort and pack, she knows they go to sick Children. She has even tried to give all her favorite stuffed animals away.

Try www.sgpageants.com . They are Christian based and judge on personality and poise, not beauty. They have no beauty score. You can wear a simple pageant dress or flower girl style. No glitz dresses, fake tans, fake hair, or fake teeth are allowed. Melinda Rolader Bell gives back to the community. We are doing her fundraiser pageant next Sat. They collect school supplies for small mountain school area. My Daughter will do beauty in a natural dress, then compete in pioneer wear, her dress looks like little house on the prairie. Far from the stripper stage! Hers run 75 dollars and every girl ge

We also take our kids on vacations a few times a year. Aruba in the Summer, and smaller trips through the year. Our 2 year old loves New York, and shopping at Tiffany's. We have made it a yearly tradition. When she grows up she will have fond memories and life experiences. My Son in College still remembers Australia, New Zealand, and all his activities and trips! If we lose our jobs tomorrow, then we won't be spending money. But why hoard it and not have fun? Ya can't take it with you!

We have done 3 National, 5 glitz, and over 15 natural ones this year. She is taking a break and wanted to do gymnastics instead. I forgot to also add in the cost of pageant coaching. Anywhere from 40 an hour to 150 an hour. A few times a month. Like I said, it is a very expensive hobby! I'm glad she is on a long break!

I'm an orthodontic RDA and design boutique outfits for pageants and photos. My Husband is a Capital Investment Manager. All 4 of our Children get a lot more than we spend on pageants yearly in their college funds. Like I stated above, they get contributions from every paycheck. They will have more money then they need when they hit college. My oldest is in his first year in San Diego and is covered.

We bust our butts and have enough money to do very expensive Kid activities and provide very nice contributuions to the Kid's college accounts from each paycheck. We not only do pageants, we do cheerleading, gymnastics, soccer, football, dance, archery. I would say if you cannot afford it, then invest in college, but I have busted my butt to earn a good living so I will spend my money as I see fit, and $1800 toddler pageant dresses make my Daughter Happy!

Bella's national glitz dress was made by Lacey Jowers and it was 1800.00 for a 2 T custom. Nationals run from 500-1200 for entries, hair/ makeup runs 250-350, hotel stay for 3 days, at least 300, tanning 30, nails 30, music mixes 100, casual outfits or theme where 300 plus each. Glitz photos 500 for 1 pic. Very expensive hobby. Naturals run maybe 100 entry, 400 dress, 200 theme wear, 200 natural pics. That is what we have found!

Bella has over 60 titles now and she is 2. She decided she hated pageants in June so we stopped. She asked to do one last months so we did a fair one and she supremed. She loves gymnastics now. We have done natural and glitz. Small ones and nationals. When she was a Baby it was fun for me. Now it has to be fun for her and we would never force her to do them. We ask her here and there to do moves to make sure she still knows them, but she has to want to do them. I would never force her to do anything. And the kids that hate them and are forced normally lose. TNT always edits to makes things loo

We had to bid way over asking to get our new house. My old one is about to hit the market and we have investors already asking about it. I hope it goes fast!

Bella on TNT in Olympic wear....always tasteful, just like her clothes in her episode. Not all outfits are slutty in pageants! She is the Baby in the USA leotard!

Yes, we are/ were a pageant Family. Bella had decided that she hates pageants so we are not doing them right now. We normally do naturals, but have done a few glitz. We were even on toddlers and tiaras, although the final cut was editing from over 40 hours of footage. BUT, I have never dressed my Daughter slutty or made her do slutty moves on stage. She normally is in Mickey Mouse, and other little kid outfits. I do not agree with the Dolly outfit, but if you google the episode she was on, it was her Mother's pageant outfit from the 1980s. That same costume has been around since 1980 without

Umm, the Dad is a convicted felon and has been in jail for child endangerment and DUI with the little girl in his car. Got out of jail and didn't want to pay child support. So he filed. And went to the media. BUT, his dirty laundry is coming out now too.

I was also diagnosed in 1993 and was 17. It was hell, cone biopsy, surgeries, more biopsys, more surgery...... Thank God I didn't let them do a hysterectomy at 18 or I wouldn't have my 3 kids right now. I would rather take my chances with the vaccine!

Dexter, Drop Dead Diva, American Horror Story, I cannot wait until the new season, and the new story line! For all of those who like Dexter, the books are even better.

Oh, another question, now that the bank knows and is made aware of the mold, do they have to disclose the info if we back out? This house was under contract and it all the sudden fell out. I'm wondering if the people before us found the mold in an inspection and decided not to take it. If so, would the bank have to tell us since they knew? I'm thinking that if they are legally suppose to disclose mold now that we have told them, they mind as well fix the issue or the next time they list the house they will have to drop the price or deal with it then!

Thanks! The Bank's price will be closer to 10,000. We were told that when the banks pay, they order a mold culture and air spore texting. It can take another month to finish. Our price would be less because they will not be doing the mold cultures and replete spore tests. This is an as is sale. The bank has always stated that. We are going to ask when we get the final quotes back on Monday or Tuesday, but I have a feeling we will be shelling out the money on our own. It is a good deal, so eating that cost will be worth it. I just hate having to pay that after paying the down, closing cost, mov
