And the votes are in.

And I was honored to be sandwiched between The Vintage Pearl and Lil Blue Boo.

Could a girl ask for a nicer sandwich to be a part of?

So when I first got the email from Circle of Moms saying I was nominated I was SO excited. Then I saw what category it was, and I will be honest the wind was sucked out of my sails. Yes I have a little shop on Etsy. But the ladies I was nominated with are legit business ladies. Like store fronts, employees, ads in national magazines, legit businesses. With that said I am BEYOND honored to make the top three. I want to thank you for voting. And I know I HUGE thank is due to my family and friends who took time everyday to vote for me and also shared on FB. Everyday I logged in and saw the link being shared and all those comments from people I did not know saying they had voted for me, made me feel so supported and loved.

Thank you this was an amazing experience for me.

The list that came together from this voting is a great source for Mom owned shop/blogs,

I highly recommended checking it out.

As far as my shop, after this week I am planning on working hard to add new items. I will keep you posted.

Boys.

They come programmed completely differently.

I always knew this but man it has been more and more evident after having one of my own.

Things I never imagined saying

but now after having a little boy I find myself saying more and more...

- "Please take you sisters undies off your head."

- "Son crayons are for coloring not eating."

- "Please stop grabbing your wenis while I am changing your POOPY diaper."

- "Can you please stop sitting on my head?"

- "Dude don't lick the restaurant wall!"

- "Please don't head butt the dishwasher." "Or the oven." "Or the wall." "Or the dog for that matter."

- "Why do I keep finding half eaten waffles in my pockets?"

- I am using the bathroom for this one "No keep the lights on." Off they go. "No leave the door open." Sweet little hand starts waving "Bye, Bye Ma." And there I sit helpless in the dark.

Boys.

I love him.

Man is he keeping this Momma on her toes.

Yesterday I got an email that made me smile, like BIG TIME SMILES.

I was nominated for for a Top 25 at Circle of Moms.

The Ladies I am among on the list is pretty cool. So if you would not mind taking one sec to click on over and vote for me? You can vote once a day from now until April 25th.

So I am going out on a limb and saying this will not be the last time you hear me mention it.

Sorry ahead of time, you love me right?!
