So...tired...must...write.

I'm not going to lie.

I'm totally starting this blog post on Monday night, and I will be wrapping it up/publishing on Tuesday (edit here...or Wednesday...).

You see, I just listed 12 new things on Amazon, edited some pictures and put up some Etsy listings, made dinner, fed my boys, and I'm. so. tired.

But everything needs to get done. Like yesterday.

Interesting fact though, speaking of Amazon...I couldn't figure out why none of my listings were showing up in search. In my head, I'm going "What the h, Amazon, you invited me to open my shop finally, what's the deal?" As I dug and dug, I realized that in the handmade section, only 3 main categories were showing up...wait a second...

Turns out, the new categories aren't actually "live" yet.

And Amazon hasn't told us when we will be live either. I did get an email this morning telling me to make sure my Artisan profile was done and I had listings up in the shop within the next 7 days though...so I'm holding out hope we will be live sometime in the next 2 weeks.

I don't know if I just didn't read thoroughly (totally possible) or Amazon pulled a fast one, but I feel like a dummy.

I will be announcing it here and on FB as soon as the Amazon shop is live. Although we are still working out the kinks, I can tell you that...I still haven't gotten as far as figuring out how to change my shipping prices, because I can tell you right now I don't need to charge $4.50 to ship a wallet.

*le sigh*


Here, have some pictures from the last few weeks (or, basically, just some of my favorites from Wine Walk)!

Early on. We like themes. This was at a jewelry store.

Post wine walk at Cosentino's. I think we may be saying we have a problem here...and that problem was that there was no more wine.  

This was first glass, but also a really cute picture of us. We got drunker and sillier as the day wore on.

I've been a total slacker the last 10 days and haven't taken shit all for pictures, however that situation will be remedied this weekend. My mum is in town from VA, and I have a bebe shower + Ayla watching on Saturday, so be prepared for me to overload your 'grams. Sunday is Mother's Day, and we are going to Science City (which I'm almost as excited as Dono about...), so there will also be lots of picture taking then as well.

May is a bit of a cray cray whirlwind...the middle of the month is the *only* weekend we don't have anything planned (yet), and the last week of the month is going to be absolutely nuts, but also an eff ton of fun, so I'll take it.

I'm off to go sew baby stuff now. Yeah. I procrastinate like that.

Feeling the run down

That is my life at the moment. We have been so busy- and it's not going to stop for awhile, at least another week. I told Jon today that there's a very large part of me that wants to say "Screw it" and splurge on a vacation for us this summer. My batteries need recharging. And for me, that means we get the fuck outta dodge and either go breathe in some mountain air or bury our toes in the sand at the Gulf. That means we go make memories as a family away from the every day bullshit. Either this... Or this...doesn't really matter to me, both are beautiful. I feel like I'm in a bit of a funk right now...not satisfied with work, feeling trapped and stuck. I can't be UN-stuck for awhile, so I'm maintaining and every day I get just a little more frustrated and anxious and sometimes it feels like I can't breathe. I also told Jon today that I can see the desire to buy an RV and just travel around the country, wandering. Of course that ...

Not ashamed (of being a foodie)

This is the part where I would normally say "Dang it's been so long since I made a blog post!" But HA! It's only been 5 days! (I'm very proud of myself). I *meant* for it to be sooner, but between a migraine on Wednesday evening and horrid, horrid cramps last night, I got a bit delayed. I did make a fantastic dinner last night, and tonight as well. Last night was chicken milanese with potatoes, mushrooms, and roasted asparagus. I only took a picture of the potatoes and mushrooms though.  Mmm...cast iron cooking for the win, right here! Pictures of food are something that seem to pop up a lot in my instagram, which I guess makes me a foodie. But I'm okay with that, because food is amazing and I like to eat. Part of the reason I keep taking pictures of my food like a weirdo though, is because I finally learned how to cook actual "from scratch" meals, thanks to this lady right here:  Ree Drummond might be a genius. There on the right side, you...

More like Sunday Blahday

That pretty much perfectly describes my Sunday so far. Our awesome Missouri weather is playing games with my head and sinuses (seriously, it was 65 on Wednesday, and last night it SNOWED, and tomorrow it's supposed to be 65 again), and it's got me feeling pretty run down today. Which is totally lame because.... I got this beauty in the mail today! The Singer Quantum Stylist 9960 <3 I'm in love already...I've managed to get her up and running, threaded, and some practice stuff sewn. After my Curvy, she is so quiet! And is it weird that I'm giving my machine a gender pronoun...? And yes, that's a Singer serger hiding back there. I don't use my serger nearly enough...my thread tensions have been jacked up for quite some time now, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to get it quite right...I end up having to sew an extra seam right next to the serged edge, which kind of defeats the purpose for time saving... Moving on though, I really wish...
