Ok, so I'm lame and don't post enough. Sorry. But you haven't missed that much. It's been insanely COLD, so we've been staying inside a lot. Honestly, I did not leave the house at all last week- and by the weekend the cabin fever was about to do me in! So the brief update- I redid the kitchen (again). It couldn't be helped. Once the granite was installed I didn't like the blue on the walls. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it, but inspiration struck a couple of weeks ago when my mom and I went to an antique store. I found this great, hand-painted pendant shade that Matt did a fantastic job installing for me. I repainted the kitchen the same bright apple green in the den in the hopes that it would make the two rooms flow better and seem bigger. I put up some different pictures and accessories that I had in my cache of old home decor pieces. (I never throw pictures or anything away because you never know when you'll have the perfect spot for something!) And voila', new kitchen. I'll post pictures as soon as I take some!

I accomplished something besides finding a new light fixture that day. I also got a store to carry my tutus!!! and this past weekend, while on another outing with my mom, I got another store to carry them! I also realized that before I could go around to all the stores that I think might be interested in them, I needed to get a business card. So my wonderful husband helped me design the cutest business card ever, and they're currently being printed. I'll tell you what, I'm fixin' to be fancy with my business cards and such! So as soon as I get those, I'll be out pimping tutus all over town!!!

As for the kids, they're all good. Will's latest favorite toys are a red glitter headband and one of my pocketbooks. Yeah, we are also wondering if he's going to turn out to be Faaaaaabulous!!! He loves pretty girls, but he'll fight to the death for that glitter headband, so I guess only time will tell!! Hays is good, nothing new to report- oh well, the other morning he decided his bowl of oatmeal worked better as a hat than breakfast, so that was funny (and messy). He also said "Thank you" for the first time today- very cute. Mason got his report card on Friday and he's doing great in school. We're so proud of how he's growing up and becoming such a great reader.

So that's the past couple of weeks in a nutshell. And I'm not even going to lie to you, right now my focus is on building my tutu empire, and things that don't have the potential to make me money, such as this blog, are kind of on the back burner. I'm going to try to post at least every week or two, but I'm not making any promises that I might accidentally break! Y'all pray that lots more stores want tutus and that we make a gazillion dollars on this little endeavor (I know, I know, not bloody likely.)
