It's been awhile! Being a stay at home mom of two has really been something else. I thought I was busy with one, but with two, it's been on another level of madness. All of this busy-ness means I haven't had time really to work on my Etsy shop. It's still open but I've kept hammering metal to a minimum. So for now I took the jump into a new venture.

We'll see how things go, so far it&

Anyway the visit was fun and hectic and I think we are recovering from being on the go. But the end of August also reminds me that soon the holiday rush will be here and my baby girl's 1st birthday, so the chaos it seems, never ends. I added some new items i
