Saint Nick.....and some business

The holidays have fully descended:

Over the weekend we hit a happy hour at one of our favorite spots on Pearl Street and then headed over to City Hall to watch the Christmas lights go up, along with some holiday ice skating and music....

We stopped in for some nighttime chai and then headed over to meet the big guy himself.

My older monkey LOVED meeting him. The little one.......not so much. He told me that he's scared of Santa, but that he still wants him to bring him toys for Christmas :)

I love, love this time of year and I feel like it is already speeding by.
Which reminds me....

Here is our Holiday Shipping Schedule:

For U.S. Christmas delivery - orders should be placed by Thursday, December 15th.

For International Christmas delivery - orders should be placed by Wednesday, November 30th.

It is super important to note that these dates are only a guideline since USPS First Class mail is not guaranteed. As always, we will also be offering faster shipping options for an additional charge (USPS Priority and Overnight), if you're worried that your package will not arrive on time. Just choose your desired shipping option when shopping in our website shop and when shopping on Etsy, leave your desired shipping option in the order notes and I'll follow up with an additional PayPal invoice for the shipping charge.


Okay, I'm off to work....we are already in the throes of holiday orders! Norbert just started blasting this music so it's time to mosy on downstairs :)

Rambling...

My life is a bit chaotic right now. I am still trying to best figure out a good way of scheduling my business, motherhood, life in general! One thing that I am experiencing, that I know is nothing new to business owners, is the fact that I don't have a defined 'cut-off' time for work. I know full well that my success lies squarely on my shoulders...and that knowledge plus the mere fact that I love what I do makes it hard for me to create a work balance in my life. I feel like I could always do more.

To be honest its like this.....I have two young sons and we have to plan our schedules around them. This is not a complaint by any means, but it is a reality and so I try to get work in all over the place. This means many nights and weekends. My husband does not need much sleep and he is very much a workhorse. I, on the other hand, seem to need 9 hours of sleep to have his energy, which irritates the heck out of me because that amount of sleep is such a waste of time!

Okay, blah, blah, blah.....I know I'm rambling!! :) But, I'm lying here in bed with my laptop wishing I needed only 5 hours of sleep for superhuman energy (sans-caffeine!) so that I could put a good dent in my miles-long to-do list.

So these sublime photos from THE Ms. Martha Stewart that I found on her blog are just what I need at the moment. This one just stopped me in my tracks....




I adore these photographs.....they have a dream-like quality that calms and inspires me.

I'm off to sleep...






goodnight :)
