She is the parent of a 2YO, after all) and a fabulous girly, but elegant girly look. Check it, and her <a href=\"http:\/\/blisspot.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">project<\/a> out, at the Everyday Bliss blog.<\/p>\n<p>One of the great things about the afternoon, as I mentioned, was that everyone was successful.
