A little love...

I decided to make Lincoln's Valentines this year, and I think they turned out super cute!
For the boys in his class we had army men tied to red hearts.
There were also ones that said "I would catch a grenade for you" & "Love is a battlefield"

Then for the girls I attached these cute heart pencils to pink hearts.
Coming up with cheesy lines was hard! These also said "You're the write one for me" & If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be write"
Silly.

This afternoon me and big baby are going to the Valentines dance at Lincoln's school, where I'll take a hundred pictures. Because what could possibly be cuter than 4 year olds dancing??

Happy Valentines day lovers!

A new dawn, a new day, a new year, a new me!

Happy 2013!
But for serious, where did 2012 go?? 
Like I blinked and missed the whole thing.
It was a pretty good year, as far as years go.

We added a new little chunk to our family.


Our biggest little turned 4, and is like a legit person now.

We expanded our online business, and realized that our part time craft business could possibly, maybe, really be a full time business.

Which leads me to why 2013 is going to be the best, weirdest, most stressful but wonderful year.
Because I. Quit. My. Day Job!

Are you excited, because I'm super excited. But nervous. Sometimes when I think about it I want to throw up.

But I did it. I turned in my letter of resignation, and said see ya later, bitches! But not really, because I'm nice. So I told them I'll stay till they find a replacement for me (impossible, I know).
But the feeling of knowing that in a matter of weeks I will be out of the office and home, with my littlest little, focusing on the things that I love, is ah-mah-zing.

So fingers crossed that I
a) actually like/can handle being a work at home mom. I've never cussed out a baby, but then again I've never spent every waking minute with one, so....

b) Can actually pull this off. I mean, what if it was a fluke? What if everyone stops buying our stuff, and then we are poor, and then we have to sell our pets and possibly one (or more) of our children just to pay our bills?

Just kidding. 

I'm dreaming big here people!! And in celebration:
