baby bubbles update!

Hello dear friends and family,
I am very excited to announce that I have launched my baby bubbles website! Please visit! The address is: baby-bubbles.com
There is an ad at the bottom that I get paid for if you click on it - hint, hint. The site is rather rudimentary right now but I will soon add a shopping cart so you can order items directly from the site. Currently, you have to e-mail me through the contact form and I do take credit card. I will also ship items using Priority Mail. Please think about me when you are doing your Christmas shopping for moms and babies!

much love to you all,
amy

Halloween 2008

Happy Halloween friends and family,
For those of you who know us, WE LOVE Halloween. I am rather misty today, tucking away my lovely little black cats, mice, crows and owls. The GREAT news is that it rained in Lakewood today! Yeah! I feel Fall could be in the air, finally! Please watch our video (it catalogs all of our "thrilling" Halloween adventures).

much love to you all,
amy, jeff, ben and lauren

We are the champions!

Hello from the Lakewood Jensens,
Warning, we will be doing some shameless bragging in this post.

So, here it goes:
Thank you to all those who donated money to Ben's school for the Gomper's Fun Run. He raised $157 that will be put to good use. Also, Ben ran a good race, finished in 2nd place for his grade and 4th place overall. Please watch our movie to see the highlights. Also, Lauren was chosen as the Star Student for her class for the month of September (again, watch the video to see it all happen). Besides his interest in running, Ben is also playing fall baseball and flag football. Lauren is enjoying kindergarten and spends her free time reading about Medieval women and the Civil War. We had a wonderful conversation yesterday about Flappers and the 1920s.

The movie ends with some photos of my mom's visit last week and a trip to a local tea parlor (the hats are provided by the shop, by the way).

much love to you all,
amy, jeff, ben and lauren

baby bubbles

Hey all!
Thank you for being patient. We really do need to post more updates. This update is to let you know that we are doing well and to promote my new business endeavor,

baby bubbles

As most of you know, I have been making burp cloths for myself and as gifts since Ben was a burping baby. In the past year I have expanded my offerings to include nursing covers. I never really considered making these items to sell but, with some encouragement from friends and family, I started my mom-based business, appropriately named, "baby bubbles." Check out the video of some of my offerings, all of which are made of 100% cotton and every stitch is made by me at home (yes, none of the items were shipped off to India to be manufactured in a sweatshop). All materials were locally purchased and the fabric is pre-shrunk. I am still working on getting a web-site set up to sell baby bubbles - I will let you know when that happens. Until then, feel free to contact me directly to place an order. I also take custom orders.

And for you local folk, please come to a Holiday Boutique Open House (featuring baby bubbles and many other mom-made creations) at my house on October 25th from 7-10pm. The other vendors are moms like me and they make amazing jewelry, clothing, bags and baby sweaters. Please come and bring your cash or checkbooks! It's a great place to do some early Christmas shopping.

much love,
amy, jeff, ben, and lauren

What's Up?!

Hello everyone,
We have been very lame in posting an update on how we are doing. Since April 12, Jeff had a birthday - he is now 38! Also, I had another MRI and it was clean. It appears that the monthly chemo treatment will continue for a few more years. We were hopeful that I would be done but it is the opinion of my neuro-oncologist and the Cedars Sinai brain tumor specialists that I continue until some other treatment is invented. Also, Lauren had a birthday - she is now 5 years old! Check out the little movie we made about her party.

much love to you all!

Ben turns 7!

On March 24th, Ben turned seven years old! Where has all the time gone?! Due to an early Easter and subsequent early Spring Break, we had Ben's Star Wars birthday bash on Friday night, March 21st. The short movie highlights some of the highlights. Enjoy!

Much love to you all!
Amy, Jeff, Ben and Lauren
