It’s official: Beyonce has been named People’s 2012 World’s Most Beautiful Woman. The new mom graces the cover of the magazine, looking as stunning as ever.

The singer, who welcomed her first daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, with husband Jay-Z in January, opened up about motherhood in the special issue:

“I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth … I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”

I never knew planning a baptism can be as stressful as planning a birthday party. Times have changed indeed! I am helping a friend plan my goddaughter’s baptism since she is still trying to recuperate from the delivery. I am in charge of looking for godparent gifts that we (me included) can appreciate and use and I thought, why not sweets? Food or gift baskets are practical gifts and I certainly would not mind receiving one

Before you start planning and going crazy for Thanksgiving and even Christmas (the holidays), there is Halloween to prepare for. I have friends who think that Halloween is the best celebration for the year. Dressing up is their favorite thing to do! If you need more Halloween decorations, click here for more inspiration. My kids are also excited for Halloween.

Let’s all say – TRICK OR TREAT!

I hope everyone is having an awesome 4th of July celebration. Friends in the US have taken a holiday today and are out with family and friends celebrating. Most of them are enjoying the nice summer season by having BBQ parties and a swimming party by the lake or pool. Most of them actually went camping.

I personally prefer to have a swimming pool party complete with pool toys to enjoy the nice (and hot) day. I am sure that the kids would love to swim also, and it would be a great activity aside from grilling BBQs and enjoying the picnic, don’t you agree?

A friend of ours is currently hosting a BBQ party in her backyard and since she has no pool, she just hired some really great blow up pool toys so everyone can enjoy some water fun. There are water guns, water slides, make shift pools but the kids’ most favorite pool toy would have to be the giant ball that squirts water when rolled in action. It was a special request of the kids actually. I bet when my kids see the pictures they would be requesting for one too!

Everybody is switching into holiday mode with only 18 days left before Christmas! If you are from loved ones and would need to send them gifts, ordering them online and just having them shipped directly would be your best bet to make sure they receive it in time for Christmas. You can always count on rural flower delivery to send flowers and notes, letting them know you are thinking of them this holiday.

But you better start now!
