Crazy Busy

Wow. The past 2-3 weeks have been crazy. We’ve been getting over the tail end of a cold or flu. We’ve been trying to get into our new routine with the homeschool Co-Op (which we ended up even missing once already because we were sick!). Plus I’ve been having technical issues with my site. So you may have noticed my posts were less frequent as of late. I still worked REALLY hard to keep everything up to date so there wasn’t too much of a lag despite everything. I’m extremely thankful for your patience, understanding, and prayers!
So the good news is everybody seems to be feeling better! We had a random incident last night with our oldest saying his stomach hurt, but today he is perfectly fine! Our schedule is also lightening up this week. Whereas we usually have the kids’ therapy on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the boys’ speech is now also switching to Mondays, which means the boys will “switch” on Mondays like they do on Wednesdays (one is in Speech while the other is in OT then they switch). So now we will only be having their therapy on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is a huge relief because I often feel on those days I am squeezing our homeschooling in, so I feel relieved we’ll have extra time to do more and take our time instead of feeling like we have to rush through it! It’s not that we’re not getting it done – it’s just that I’m not a fan of rushing through things. Although, sometimes I think they are! 😉
The technical issues on my site seem to be resolved as well. At least the main issues. You may notice my page speed is rather horrendous right now, so please bear with me as I continue to work on this. There was a javascript issue, which is what was making it difficult for me to make posts without a lot of random, unneccessary steps. It was exhausting and time consuming. I lost a lot of posts, too. They just disappeared. Not fun when you just typed A LOT! Add Fibro flare ups and migraines to everything, and there were days I was ready to throw in the towel! OK, I wouldn’t have REALLY done that, but I sure felt like taking a break for a while at the very least! Perserverance paid off, though, because here I am and everything is OK. 🙂 I’ll continue to work on the page speed, and I’ll be working on a few other things on my site as well! Stay tuned!
Some other exciting news? It’s also been keeping me busy, but it’s exciting nonetheless. As you know I have participated in the Fort Hood Army Wives Expos in the past with direct sales, which by the way, I have felt a HUGE relief since deciding to no longer actively pursue direct sales! Phew! What a great decsion! Rabbit trail aside, this is the first Expo I’ll be participating in as Pea of Sweetness. Yes, I will be representing THIS site as well as my personally made products. This means I need to get to sewing and printing and cutting more decals. This, in essence, is almost forcing me to FINALLY get going with my shop! This is super exciting for me! I’ll be making some cloth diapers, nursing covers, car and wall decals, aprons, swaddles, bibs, flower clips, and anything else I may come up with before the Expo! I’m also working hard on their website to get it up and running by the Expo as well! So yes, I’ve been busy in so many ways, but it’s so exciting! Want a sneak peek at some of the diapers I’ll be making? Check out the super cute prints!

Cute, right? I can’t wait to share the finished products! 🙂
