Welcome

So I have three lives. I'm not talking reincarnation or some weird three husband situation (talk about impossible). No, I'm talking about managing three very different aspects of my life on a day-to-day basis. Now, believe me, I know that I am not unique; that many of us do this every day. We run through our lives going between Mom, Professional, Friend, etc. My life consists of raising two girls, working as a pediatric occupational therapist and managing a craft side business for "the fun".

My cousin and I are very close spending our summers together throughout our childhood. Every summer we would come up with some project that we would devote our lives to until the summer ended. I can remember a summer when Monopoly was our obsession. We kept the same game going for SIX weeks. Another summer was loop potholders. Do you remember those? Many an hour went buy creating unique patterns and it never failed that we would get to our last side and the whole thing would come apart! The summer we both learned to crochet we were hooked for life. Nanny taught us how to do a single crochet and that summer we competed to see whose chain would be the longest. I think she won.

A few years ago we both had baby girls within six months of each other. I remember my cousin calling me to tell me she had bought a How to Make Hair Bows off of Ebay and that we should make some for our girls. We got together and made our first hair bows. Mine was huge, bigger than my baby's head, but I was hooked and so was she.

We started small, deciding to enter into a few craft shows and have continued in that trend for the past five years. Now we've added an Etsy shop.

Come join me for How To craft sections, gripe sessions and success stories of motherhood, and maybe even some advice on child development. Who knows...

Let the journey begin!
