My site was removed from the index (again) and I am not sure why. In
webmaster tools, "site" returns no results. Also, I get a warning
from Google in my overview page that I am not indexed. I have been
doing A LOT of reading trying to figure out why this happens, but
there seem to be no definitive answers.
I have a few sites linking to me and have had the site up for 3
years.
My robots.txt is fine and google's last crawl was Jul 8, and last
cache Jul 12. My top search queries has "data not available at this
time" for the last 3 weeks.
This happened back in April and it resolved itself somehow but I wish
I knew where I was messing up. Can someone please take a look and let
me know?

Thank you SO MUCH for responding! But what I don't understand is why
in my G webmaster tools it tells me that my site is not indexed ...is
it looking for www before the domain name? And I also get data
unavailable for top query results for the past 3 weeks...is that
something that just happens? Thank you again!

Pretty much so, the webmaster tools data is flaky at best and most
often wrong. Don't know why they don't care to fix it.
Your site shows up as http://www.kidoriginals.com/ and http://kidoriginals.com/ you should really choose which one you want and 301 redirect the other
one to it, as well as setting the preffered domain within webmaster
tools (that tool appears to work)

JLH is spot on with his advice about the important of choosing a
preferred domain for your site. I currently see the non-www version
of your site indexed and I suspect you placed www.kidsoriginals.com in
Webmaster Tools for verification, given your last post. If that's the
case, verify the non-www version in Webmaster Tools and set the
preferred domain to the non-www version (assuming you want to be
indexed as kidsoriginals.com and not www.kidsoriginals.com). Then
things will likely look normal again.
