Lil Snippets & Giveaway Winner!

I usually post about my hectic schedule in the mornings, but I can't recall ever discussing what I do when the kids go down for their afternoon nap.  I make sure that they both go down around the same time, which really helps preserve my sanity.  During the quiet nap time is when I bust out the vintage and start shooting some pictures for listings. I usually have a 1.5 hour window before Jessie wakes up to prepare the clothes and shoot the product shots, which explains why I am only able to get about 3-5 items listed per day. 

So, here are the little snippets from today (or yesterday since I'm posting this at 12:30 a.m.)

1. A 1950s prom dress I steamed and took pictures of today

2. Choosing which vintage necklace to use in the product shots

3. Finally started getting some of the photo frames I thrifted up around the house

4. Jonah likes sitting in the corner of the couches and drink his milk after his nap

5. Jessie's weaning continues!  She's doing well.

6. More thrifted photo frames being put to use. Can you guess who's who?

Also, thank you to those who entered the giveaway!  This particular giveaway had the most entries yet, and I will be having another giveaway in 2 weeks, so if you didn't win this time, enter the next one!

The winner is....

I will be contacting you shortly and congrats!

It's been a while since I've blogged.  I couldn't snap out of my mini vacation mode and I've been hooked on watching Felicity on Netflix at night, so my blog and shop took a hit.  I needed a mini-vacay though because I can only take so much of working until 2 am.  It does feel good to be back blogging and listing items in the shop, so hope you start following along, again.

Here are some snippets from my morning.  Mornings are becoming more and more fun as the kids get older.  It's so intriguing how my babies are developing their own personalities and likes and dislikes and I feel so blessed to be able to watch them grow up and work from home.  I make an effort to not work on the shop while they're awake now and sacrifice sleep.  It's all worth it.

 

All these snippets were taken this morning and they reflect pretty much most of my mornings. 

Pictures 1-3: Before Jessie takes her first nap, the kids just eat breakfast and play with various toys.  Jessie likes anything and everything.  Jonah enjoys dinosaurs, puzzles, and playing drums. 

Pictures 4-5: While Jessie naps, Jonah watches an educational show while I brush my teeth and try to get one major chore done.  Today was hang drying my vintage clothing and cleaning the bathrooms. 

Pictures 6-10: Today, we were lucky to have lunch with my hubs at Lee's Sandwich.  The kids lunches were homemade while I bought myself a $2.50 grilled chicken sandwich. Jonah had a ham, cheese, avocado sandwich on whole wheat and Jessie had a mango, apple, banana homemade mash up with little pieces of wheat bread.  Then, they had a blast playing with each other through the window of the sandwich shop.

Pictures 11-12: We play for about 20 minutes after lunch, before nap time.  Today, we just played in front of our garage. Jonah recently learned how to ride a bike by himself and it's wonderful but sad to see how much more self-sufficient he's becoming in so many things.  They sure do grow up fast.

Anyhow, that's my "exciting" morning.  Thanks for reading!

Here are a few little snippets of my life.

Picture 1: 8:00 a.m.- Jessie always wakes up with a smile.

Picture 2: 8:15 a.m.- Make breakfast for myself and my son.  Today's menu is eggs with ham.

Picture 3: During breakfast- Jonah entertains himself with some markers and a dinosaur activity book.

Picture 4: 10:00 a.m. - Run errands.  This one is grocery shopping at a Korean supermarket.  Jonah's perusing the Korean snack section.

Picture 5: If I decide not to run an errand, I work on chores and the house.  I finally started to decorate Jessie's room.

Picture 6: 2:00 p.m. - Work on the shop.  Here's a pile of vintage I need to clean, sort, steam, etc.

The kids wake up around 4-4:30 and I get dinner ready.  Lately, Mo's been the best husband and has been washing the dishes and he always gives Jonah a bath.  So, I get to work on the shop after Jessie goes down at 8 and I sleep at 2:30 a.m.. Then, my day begins at 7:30 a.m. when Jonah wakes up. 

Hope you enjoy little snippets of my life.  More to come next week!
