Mom Life: Pink, Purple, and Turquoise “Princess Boutique” Birthday Party

Butterfly Mommies!! We celebrated my little human’s birthday this past weekend, it was so cute and lots of fun.

Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. Center

On Wednesday, August 10, 2011 the Houston Area Event Vendors & Professionals had the honor of hosting a donation drive benefiting Houston’s own Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. Center. This drive was to help the Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. Center collect school supply items needed for their "Back-to-School" community school supply give away that will take place on Saturday, August 13, 2011. Thank you to those who came out to show your support!

Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. was founded in 1990 by Sylvia Bolling. During the first 5 years of operation, Aldine Y.O.U.T.H. had very few resources to work with…there was no facility, no paid staff, and very limited funds. By establishing valuable community partnerships, the agency’s founder, Sylvia Bolling, took the then fledgling community-based organization from her home to its current facility.

Music: Amy Winehouse

Butterflies, I’m so sad. An artist that I not too long ago discovered and sincerely enjoyed has passed away. The extraordinarily talented UK born soul singer and song writer Amy Winehouse was only 27 years old. It’s apparent that Amy was deeply troubled and struggled with depression for many years, which she expressed creatively through her music. Her unique beauty/vocal styles, struggles with depression, and admiration of New York rapper Nas aka “Mr. Jones” (much like that of my own) is what made her stand out to me.

Amy’s first album “Frank” was released in 2003 and three years later in 2006 she released her second album titled “Back to Black”. Even though her life and musical career were both short lived, she without a doubt made a infinite impact on the world.

PS. What is your favorite Amy Winehouse track?
