Vintage Baby Clothes

I'm dying over these vintage baby clothes from one of my favorite vintage kids clothing shops, VintageAga.  Her picks are ridiculously cute and extremely affordable and currently, she's having a 30% off moving sale.  All you need to do is use the coupon code "ONTHEGO30" during checkout to receive your discount. 

By the way, how cute is the boys shirt with bow tie? LOVE!

Every Mother Needs A Little Time Away

I've been MIA and these are little snippets of what I've been up to:

taking my kids to the park to feed the ducks

pushing my rapidly growing kids on the swing

I don't know if this one enjoyed it that much.  It was her first time.

watching season 1 of this AMAZING and addicting show. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

watching this silly little romantic comedy- mindless but entertaining show and a good way to wind down the day.

My Palm Springs weekend getaway extended to a two week furlough from the shop.  I don't regret it.  I've definitely lost followers of this blog and the views to my shop have dramatically dropped (although sales haven't since the entire shop is on sale right now), yet I'm okay.  You probably can't tell by my little summary of what I did while I was MIA, but I felt the last two weeks were productive because I really spent some quality time with the kids and finally got some cleaning and organizing done around the house that I've been meaning to do for at least a year!  I also read more to my kids and I've been teaching Jonah how to read.  He can sound out simple 3 letter words for now. I'm proud of him.

Also, life has been hectic ever since this little one's started to crawl.  Can you tell she likes her new found freedom?

I watched more tv than I have in the last year, also.  I don't think I will be doing that again, but I don't feel guilty spending a week to do some mindless tv watching at the end of a crazy day.  Moms will understand, but it's okay to veg at the end of the day.  It's deserved.

I have NOT been listing items or taking pictures for the shop.  But, that all changes this week.  I'm back to blogging and I'm back to working on the shop diligently to prepare for my hubs birthday coming up and to hopefully plan a trip back up to Norcal to visit my parents.  So, look for some shop updates and hello again!

Christmas Crafts and Good News!

I had no idea that my son would grow up so fast, and with another one on the way, I want to capture every little family/mother-son moment we have!  So, we just ended our Holiday Class and it was so much fun!  The last class was a special class jam packed with holiday activities and crafts. Take a look!

By the way, we're adding a little GIRL to the family and we couldn't be more thrilled! 

I just never thought having a daughter was in the cards for me, but I always hoped, and yay!

A decorated pinecone.  Just add a little paint and some glitter

and you've got yourself a pretty decorative piece!

Gingerbread cookie madness!

The instructor is quite inventive.  That's tupperware for the base

and we just used frosting to stick the graham crackers and all kinds

of other sugary and weird treats. Jonah's favorite was the goldish snacks.

He's supposed to be painting the angel, but he kept on painting

the football player on the newspaper instead.

Daddy joined us for the last class and lunch!

Jonah had lots of fun and is very excited for his little sister.

Actually, this is him practicing his "smile" face. We need to work

on him opening his eyes.

Children are so precious and I feel so blessed!

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Help! I'm So Impulsive!

So, I've been thinking about selling vintage children's clothing, since I enjoy selling vintage women's clothing, but I never mustered enough energy to actually do it.

I attended a vintage appointment today of a lady who saved pretty much every single clothing from the 40s to the present.  She had 3 daughters and she seemed to have kept all their pretty little vintage dresses, also, and I just couldn't resist.  Maybe it's my hormones or maybe I really want a daughter, but I just bought a whole bunch of little girl vintage dresses and they are just the most adorable things!

The problem is, I don't have a daughter (yet) and I'm not sure whether I should open up a new Etsy shop or just add a little toddler section to my existing Etsy SHOP.  I would really appreciate your ideas and opinions!

Seriously, any advice would be appreciated!
