My confession

Soooo... my secret confession is... I'm sometimes jealous of just how cute Addi gets to be in her PPB bows and her little outfits! Just check out her latest modeling photo!

But for me... it's always plain ol' jano boring clothes and then WHAM! something super duper cute and eyecatching for Addi but Mommy's boring clothes even tend to water down Addi's awesome sense of style. Well... being the crafty mama that I am, I've found the cure--with a little pizzazz!

As I'm introducing the PPB Clothesline (yes, the pun is intended), I will also be introducing M2M Mommy Shirts!

That's right... every dress and outfit I make in baby, toddler, and girl sizes, I plan to make available in Mommy's size, too! How awesome! We can be twinkies! Of course... she still looks super cute in her outfit, but now, my plain ol' jano clothes are NO LONGER dampering her super hot wardrobe! Together... we are making a fashion statement! Be unique, but above all... treat yourself like a precious petal, too!

Excuse the photos... Chad took them and it was rather last minute.

Daddy's home

The words that make a long day feel short... "Daddy's home!" Ya know the feeling, "I've got sooooo much to do but I'm sitting here on the computer." Then before you know it... you've chatted with every friend in your address book, emailed your grandparents to see how they're doing... emailed your favorite preacher to make lunch plans for his visit home, answered 50 emails, submitted orders, and taken care of quickbook tasks... yeah, that feeling... and there's still more laundry to do, dishes to be put away, floors to be vacuumed, tile to be steamed, kids to be taught, kids to be fed, kids to... well, every five minutes it's something... so I'll just leave that last line to imagination.

So... the moment the entire house screams, "Daddy's home" you breathe a long needed sigh of relief. If you had half the energy the children had, you'd be screaming, "Daddy's home," too.

Our Daddy is awesome! He comes home to a house full of two children (I know... but it really seems like this 2 y/o and 4 y/o take up an entire house at times) screaming "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy! Hold me. Pick me up. Not Dylan, Daddy, me!" He chases them, plays the seemingly infinite all-time favorite game--GET YOU. Afterwards he cooks dinner (yes, you are reading that right... my man cooks---only because he doesn't agree that all vegetables are a sufficient meal. If he wants red meat, he can cook it ;) ). I usually tackle clean up, because he TAKES THE CHILDREN OUTSIDE until it's dark!

Now... here in Arkansas, during the summer time, it's about 9 pm before it's dark! That's about 4 hours for me to do what I need to get done (which is usually orders in the studio).

Now see... I really should rethink my daytime thoughts... preserve enough energy... and at the end of our usual day I need to run screaming, "Daddy's home", because I understand just how lucky I am!


Yeah, I think I'm going to try running and screaming, "Daddy's home!" today. I mean really... I need to show this man just how much I appreciate him!

I know, I know

Don't be discouraged. I've been away only because Daddy is home! Yes, after a seven month deployment it is awesome to have Daddy home!


Needless to say, getting into our regular routine has been difficult. Filling orders, being creative, finding time for family, home, paint, work, business and all the other great things I love to do... well, I'm swamped. I wouldn't have it any other way!

In the meantime, we are offering an awesome BOGO free deal & a $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway for the month of June. To be eligible for either offer and the $50 drawing, simply subscribe to our store Newsletter! That simple! Once subscribed you will receive information regarding the BOGO and $50 drawing!

For now... I'm headed back to the studio. After 4 hours here, I've finally removed a nasty virus from my computer and once again, I'm in love with Cyberdefender.

Coming Home ~ A follow up to Letting Go

Well... after his first night away from Mommy, Dylan has returned home--quite reluctantly I might add. He told "Nathan's mommy" that he wanted to stay more. (On a prior occassion she told him that he could call her April. He pondered a moment and then replied, "No thanks, I'll just call you Nathan's mommy.") Obviously touched she explained that he could come again soon, and that he and Nathan would get to play again very soon.

As soon as he came home he ran to give me a big hug; I love how big hugs from Dylan feel, but that feeling was cut short when he went on to explain, "Mommy, I told you I wanted to stay forever and ever." Obviously, my little man had an awesome time at his first ever sleepover.

About 2 hours after he came home, tornado warnings were issued for our city. When the tornado sirens sounded I told the kids "Tornado, bathroom!" They live in SW Arkansas, so they know the drill. We weren't in the bathroom for five minutes before Dylan fell asleep on the floor. Once the storm passed and the tornado warning expired, I picked up my little man and let him crawl into my bed. He's been there for two hours as I write this. Obviously... he had a great time at his first sleep over.
