Be A Queen for the Day!

Who wouldn't want to be a Queen for the Day?!

We are heading to the Queen Bee Market in Carlsbad in November.

I know...call us crazy, but we can't stay away.

This holiday Queen Bee Market will be a little different.

First, Friday night includes a fun Crafty Girls Night Out

but the second big exciting announcement is this fabulous prize

up for grabs!

and I'm taking this opportunity to nominate my sweet daughter, Kaia!

She doesn't know it.

I might not even tell her until we get down there about the big contest!

But if there is anyone who deserves to be treated like a queen for a day it is her.

At the sweet age of 15 she has experienced a lot of sacrifice and service in her life.

All done with an extremely happy heart.

With no resentment.

Would do it all over the exact same way again

if given the choice.

She was our only child for 5 years.

Then became a big sister.

To a special needs brother.

Talk about her world being rocked.

With us, she mourned the loss of a healthy baby brother

but jumped right in to helping him feel special.

She recognized that we were the lucky ones to have this opportunity.

For her 7th birthday she didn't want any presents,

she just asked if she could learn to help with Blake's medical needs

to give mommy and daddy a break sometimes.

She has been his biggest cheerleader and biggest defender.

She has cried for him and with him.

At the age of 14 we rocked her world again when we decided to become foster parents.

She was excited. Her heart about to burst thinking of the children that might enter into our home.

We have had two babies for almost a year.

She begs us to adopt them.

I asked her just the other day,

even with all the sacrifices she has had to make this past

year....at 15 years of age if she understood that adoption

would mean sacrifices for the rest of her life in our family.

She smiled and said, 'yes...they are a part of our family...it would be worth it!'

Kaia is a big sister to three children {two foster still}

all with special needs.

Yet she feels just as special to us.

She is 15. All about fashion.

All about hair and make-up and fiercely supports

the handmade community. 

She will come to Queen Bee Market to work.

Work hard with set up. 

And work hard to help with the babies.

At 15 years old.

How fun would it be to surprise her with a dream makeover

and money to shop at Queen Bee Market?

I can almost promise she will feel unworthy 

and that is exactly why I would want her to win!

Thank you Mique for this amazing opportuntity.
