It’s been awhile since I’ve updated! The busyness of the holidays, reorganizing the blog on our own domain name (YAY! and thank you to Ed), plus the start of my most recent endeavor, has put me very behind on updating here. So, I wanted to get a quick update out before my time is consumed with preparing for EG’s third birthday. HOW is she almost 3 already??

We had an amazing Christmas. Had time to spend as a family of 2 (plus Violet) as well as getting together with extended family. We even had the opportunity to spend a week and a half in Florida right after Christmas. The 18 hour drive was not the best, but we were blessed with spending time with family we don’t often see. There was also LOTS of sunshine. EG was a big fan of the sun. Every day since we’ve been home, if the sun isn’t shining, she says “Oh no. Sun all gone. We need sunshine.” We cannot wait to go back for spring break! We are truly blessed to have family in Florida, otherwise these trips would not be attainable.

That brings me to the “new endeavor.” I decided to start an Etsy shop. I am constantly being creative for various events, and I thought it would be fun to share those creations. I am just in the beginning phases with only a few designs right now, but I added a special “Mom and Me” design today.

I started calling EG my Little Honey Bee while I was still pregnant, before she had a given name. I absolutely loved every moment of being pregnant, it was the happiest I had been in my life up to that point. I loved to put my hands on my stomach and talk and sing to my Honey Bee. It was a very special time and this design honors that connection and memory. I added the link if you want to check it, or any of my other designs out…plus I’m running a 15% off sale through the weekend!
