oh, what a weekend.

Oh, geez..... where do I even begin?!

Over all, the weekend was pretty good. We went down to Great Falls to visit my parents and it was a lot of fun. Good food, good company, good beer =] Well, we were on our way back to Missoula, and about 20 miles outside of Lincoln, we hit a deer. Our car is totaled in the front and we had to get a ride back to my parents house so we could figure out what we were going to do. So far the plan is that Jose got a ride with my brother back to Missoula. My brother had to come back to my parents house so he could fix his car, so the boys and I will just hitch a ride with him tomorrow when he gets the part to his car. Its just frustrating being stuck somewhere with 2 small children and no car.

So, since I wont be back home untill tomorrow, that has kind of pushed back my shop re-opening. I've already gotten quite a bit made, I just need to take pictures of them. So the new date will be June 11th.

broaden your horizons

Well, the never ending task of cleaning
and trying to organize my office is starting
to pay off! I still have a ton of stuff that I
need to get done to be in full working
order. I've also realized that I'm in dire
need of some new supplies! I was able
to buy some of them yesterday, but there
are still a TON of things that I want! My
spring/summer line will consist mostly of
bright colors and lots and lots of flowers!
I've also decided to try and make some of
my own cabs. I spend a lot of money on little
flower and heart cabs, but the other day I
stumbled upon the super cute little flexible
molds! And they use the same type of clay that
I use when I make plugs for my ears! I'm so
super excited and I can't wait to order them!

Totally of subject.....But I just caught a whiff of
my basil plant and it made me feel happy! The
scent of basil reminds me of summer!!

feels good...

oh, today has been a good day
so far! I woke the boys up and
got them started on their
breakfast and made myself
some coffee and had some
yogurt and a lemon-orange
muffin that I made yesterday.
The boys went down for their
nap and I worked on some new
jewelry pieces for my spring
line and then did some yoga.

It felt so good to get
started on yoga again. With all
the time I spend taking care of
the boys and doing housework,
I don't have very much time
for myself anymore. So I made
the decision to take some time
for myself, even if its only 10
minutes or so to do some yoga.
And it felt GREAT!!
=]

So now, the boys are chowing
down on some toast and an
avocado and I'm making all sorts
of purchases for jewelry supplies.

updates......

Oh boy! This has literally been the
only free moment I've had in like weeks!
The boys have been keeping me so so busy,
I haven't had any time to try and organize
my office and get to making anything. So
I had to put the shop on a little vacation
just so I could get things going and organized.

{The shop should be back up and running on June 11th!}

I'm super excited for Mother's Day on Sunday.
My mommy and dad are coming for a visit
so it will be nice to be able to spend some
time with them! Although Jose and I might
sneak away so we can have some us time and
go catch a movie or something. Ugh! And I have
been so super sick lately! I've had a horrible
sinus infection that just WON'T go away! I feel
a lot better than I was last week but,geez, give
a girl a break!!!

Uh-oh! I hear those little monsters of mine
waking up from their nap! I should probably
go and rescue them!

{Sigh..... being a mother is never boring!!}

urban outfitters.

are so many cute things that I want!!!
Here are just a few of my favs.

Good Morning Sunshine!

What a great way to wake up in the morning! The boys were
still asleep so it was nice and quite. And the sun was shining
through the bedroom windows, right onto my bed. It was
fantastic. I think the only thing that would have made it better
would have been if Jose didn't have to work this morning.
oiy, I have a lot to do today! My mom will be in town so
she is going to help run some errands with me.

busy, busy bee =]
