My boss Jodie is expecting a baby girl in June/July. She is having the hardest time coming up with yet another girl name. I gave her my baby name book and highlighted and noted all the names i thought she'd like. I did good too! I put my top 3 all time favorite girls names in the front cover, Anna, Sophia, and McKenna. I plan on using Anna and Sophia (Anna Sophia Smith, ASS! Yikes! This future girl needs another middle name!) But she loved McKenna and her parents are dead set on Anna. But then they all fell in love with another name.

She has a 2 year old daughter, McKenzie and she keeps asking her what her baby sisters name is and she tells someone a different name each time. But they semi agreed along with her husband on Taylor(a Kasie highlighted name!). While they were at dinner on Monday a former student of ours served them and asked about the baby's name. McKenzie told her, her sister's name was Carlin. Jodie had never heard that name before, nor as she knew, McKenzie. But Jodie kind of liked it. Well as the night went on Jodie fell more and more in love with the name Carlin. I think its beautiful name too. So the freak that i am looked it up online and it means Little one of Charlie. Which is Jodie's dads name and she wanted so badly to name her daughter Charlee but thought it would be too confusing. So the name is perfect. It however hasn't been finalized for her future daughter. But i thought how crazy that the 2 year old picked the most perfect name from out of nowhere.

Mommy Tip!

I love clothes, shoes, and accessories! I love dressing my boy like the little model he is. But i hate spending a lot of money and time taking care of all his clothing. So what do i do to make this easier on myself? First all i buy stuff at the end of each season for next year. If i have a clue what size he'll be in. I buy 2 of things i love!(i do this with myself also). But of course only at a very discounted price. But my favorite tip is that i NEVER, EVER put his "good" clothes in the dryer. I hang all of his nice pants and name brand shirts on the giant clothesline that was left in our house. This helps with stains, fading, and detail peeling. The stains don't set and will almost always come out in the next wash. I also am now a firm believer in Tide. Tide with anything is better than well anything. I love generic things, but this is the one thing i found i can't buy generic, even the expensive generic isn't anywhere near the greatness of Tide. Hope you enjoy this tip!

Jason's work shirts NEVER go in the dryer either! I bet you all can imagine whats on his shirts.
