Pink? Really?
Getting back into the habit of blogging is HARD.
Initially, I was away with several sick kids. We spent the 18th celebrating the Pip’s birthday at a local Mexican place. It was a great time. Despite Jordan having been home sick that day with a bad stomach ache, he was feeling better and in a party mood. The other kids were chipper and didn’t even fight over who got to sit next to Mama. We laughed and sang together as the servers helped the birthday girl enjoy her special dessert.
Unfortunately, about an hour after we got home, three of the kids were complaining of the same stomach ache Jordan had earlier. No other symptoms – just a pain that on more than one occasion had them laying on the floor yelling out in pain. It was heartbreaking. Throughout the next week, we had kids home from school; one on the first day; two on the second; one on the third; I even got called to school several days to bring meds or to bring home sick children. It was a mess. But, we’re done. Whisper, the lucky birthday girl, never did catch whatever it was. YEAH!!
Even after the recovery, it was easy to just stay away and not look for witty and interesting topics to talk about. Naughty.
Although, I’ve not had much time for sewing, I have taken steps toward a new sachet design. I’m researching a design to embroider on the front of the sachet and then need to work on the smelly mix for inside. Quite a change from what I normally favor, I’m looking toward a more ‘girly’ pink and green palette for this new item. Mostly because of the color significances to go along with the aromatherapy, but the girls suggested it was about time. I’m looking forward to cutting and stitching.
And I need need need to spend time formatting the new shopping cart we’re using for the website. I have a HARD deadline of March 25 [and yes, I know how soon that is!] so the site is ready for showing off and [ahem!] pimping by April 2. We have plans in the works that have great potential for more traffic. And our customers must be happy.

Glad to hear all the kids are healthy again! The worst part about being a mom is watching your kids suffer and not be able to take the “ick” away.
And I feel your pain about getting back into the blogging routine–I completely missed my post deadline for February. I finally got around to it last night, which, in my defense, would have been just fine had it been a *normal* month (darn you, February with your 28 days…).
