Not a Blogger Rockstar

 Wow, I truly am a horrible blogger. So what's been going on in our house since I last graced you with a post? Well my husband has started a new career! He will still be a Marine Corps Reservist but we are done (knock on wood) with Active Duty. It is such a strange feeling. When we first started out I thought we'd be going to 20+. I was very apprehensive leaving the security of the Marine Corps. I have spent my WHOLE life with the military. Once my husband is finished training for his new job it'll be a little weird to have him home at a decent hour every night and on the weekends. What are we going to do with all this time?!

  Our big girl will be starting preschool in 2 weeks. I cannot believe my little baby who inspired my whole business will be going to school so soon. I'm pretty sure we just came home from the hospital with her a few weeks ago...but no, it's been nearly 3 years! Time just goes too quickly when it comes to growing babies. Our littlest one is growing into her own little personality and it is such a blessing to get to watch. I'm in awe of my girls daily.

 

 

 

  I am so blessed that my girls get along as well as they do and pray that it continues through their whole lives.

 

 

  I'm also completely obsessed with Pinterest. There are so many inspiring ideas and projects on there! I have so many pins and I am working through them as quick as I can. I have been cooking dinners for about 2 months now solely from recipes I've found on there! Some have been amazing hits and others....well we won't speak of those fails where pizza was ordered. I hope you are all having fun doing end of the summer activities! I will try to be a better blogger and post more. 

 

 

Open up Shop

  For those of you who haven't heard yet, the shop is open again! My husband is home and my maternity time off is up. I have teamed up with Launch Her while I was closed. They are fantastic and I am so grateful for their suggestions and help filing for my trademark. For those of you who saw the shop before I took the time off you'll notice some changes.

 The first major change is that the Big Square Blankets are now listed by service branch and color. So the blanket you see in the photo is the blanket you are ordering. You don't need to specify the branch or the color. The next change to the blankets are that I will keep four colors in stock; pink, blue, white and brown. I think these changes are going to make ordering so much easier for everyone!




Big Butt Baby Pants! Forgive the low quality picture, it was from my cell phone ages ago.

Another change is the addition of Big Butt Baby pants! They are fantastic and both my girls have several pairs. They pattern came from Rae at Made by Rae and is designed for babies and toddlers who wear cloth diapers. No worries if you don't cloth diaper though, they work for all diapered babies and toddlers! They come in size 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m, 9-12m, 12-18m, and 2T. I will post them as ready to sell items in the shop, but of course if you would like to request a custom order I'd be happy to accommodate. I'm working hard to get the pants photographed and listed by the end of the week.

 Last, I worked with an amazing graphic designer, Gina Riganati, to create a new logo for Baby Battle Rattle. If you need a graphic designer, she's your girl! What do you think?
