Happy Birthday Little Prince!

Aside from Valentine's Day, we have another lovely reason to celebrate this month. It was Prince Michael Joseph Jackson Jr.'s 13th birthday last February 13!

Ever since the loss of his father, King of Pop Michael Jackson, Prince and his two siblings Paris Michael Katherine and Prince "Blanket" Michael, have been on an emotional journey together. As they struggle to find comfort after such a great loss, the three have been in the care of their grandmother Katherine Jackson and have been constantly surrounded by family and loved ones.

Celebrity Baby Scoop reported that the three are now living at their grandmother's estate in California, together with their cousins and other family members. Katherine's attorney, Adam Streisand, shared "With the kids running around the house, laughing, playing, they've given each other a lot of joy."

So, even though the young boy is surely still in mourning, I think it's safe to say that he and his siblings are in good hands and are doing fine. We hope Prince enjoyed his birthday!

Birthday Bonanzas

In just two weeks my little niece will turn the big -1- year old. I simply cannot believe how fast time has flown. I remember when she had just been born, she was infinitesimally small. I could fit 10 of her little hands in mine. She was fresh and snuggly and held all the promise that new life affords. And now one year later she is all the more beautiful! She is deserving of the most spectacular of birthday celebrations, alas I will not be in close enough proximity to help facilitate this. So, in honor of my precious little niece, I have written a list of 5 must haves for any one year old birthday bonanza:

1. Buckets of love, you know the good stuff, wet and sloppy!



2. A special birthday outfit: http://breasbabyboutique.com/category_40/Birthday-Outfits.htm
