Where Is My Agent???

Hélena has been working pretty hard at trying to keep up the family business by becoming a wildly successful artist. She hasn't discovered which media she excels at, so she's trying them all including orange paint. Where is the fame? Where is the fortune? Where are the V.I.P. tickets to the opening night of "Twilight: Eclipse"? I'm not sure how much this latest masterpiece will go for at the Sotheby's auction, but hopefully it will pull enough for another pair of Crocs.

Zoku Pops To The Rescue


Hélena has been struggling with the pain of her last molars coming in and the brutal heat of summer in DC. It seems as if her problems are solved by the purchase of the Zoku from Grandma Selena. The Zoku makes fruit popscicles with nearly any ingredient you choose in less than 10 minutes, which is not nearly fast enough for Hélena's busy and hectic toddler lifestyle. In my day, I'd have to wait overnight for popscicles! Grrrrr! The first try was a success with 2 apple juice pops in 10 minutes and Hélena approves!

Father's Day Picnic!

Hélena spares no expense when it comes to showing her appreciation to her Daddy. She planned an exquisite picnic of leek, prosciutto and goat cheese tarts, jalapeño, cheddar and chive hush puppies and peach cobbler, all served on the scenic banks of Lake Accotink. She also debuted a sundress from her exclusive Tatie Mimi collection.

This Is How I Roll


Hélena is quite popular and people are always approaching her on the street. It's come to this. She requires the protection of Dad AND Grampa Roland just to live her life like any ordinary toddler would. We see Hélena above, perusing the local "wow wows", graciously receiving complements on her afro puffs and dodging the ever persistent paparazzi, all while wearing a pair of Crocs.

These aren't Christian Louboutin!


Hélena expresses her contempt that she's not able to wear Louboutins to the park on Sunday morning. Sorry baby, but they don't come in your size...YET. Until then, you'll have to settle for the Crocs that Auntie Milla gave you for your birthday. They're pink! Come on, can I get a little smile over that? Guess not.

Beauty Sleep

Hélena's travel fatigue finally caught up with her at school today.

Ground Stops? I call BS!

Hélena lived at the TPA airport play area for 10 hours yesterday and coped better than Mom. There was a little glimmer of hope that she'd get to go back to Grandma's and Grampa Sarge's for another night, but she finally made it back to DCA. She's a veteran traveler for sure!
