I'm here... busy... some changes... my soap box

So... I didn't think that posting headwraps on Etsy would turn into what it has.

I have been sewing headwraps NON-STOP!  I have forgotten what other projects I have!  But hey... that's what I was shooting for, right??  So to keep this short so I can get back to work before the little dude wakes up, here is a small list of what's been happening here, with my Etsy shop and just things I'm thinking about:

1.  Little dude is going to be 1 in a month... ahh!!  And I'm actually really excited about it.  I love babies.  I love having them and cuddling them and kissing them.  I also really like watching my kids grow and learn and thrive.  So bring on 1!


2.  What's with all the fighting in the world?  I've never been one to stand up and say we need world peace {don't get me wrong... I pray for it and I wish upon a star it would happen all of the time}, but for the first time really in my life I'm watching the news going "holy moley, what the heck is going on??"  It's really terrifying sometimes.  I'm VERY thankful to live in the country I do and to have the freedoms that we have.  The 4th of July brought on a whole new appreciation for me.  BUT I have always been thankful.  Again, don't get me wrong.

3.  We're doing swimming lessons for a second session and this time Miley has a boy teacher.  I asked what his name is.  She replied "He's 17" and then smiled.  Um.... his name?  Don't know.  Does my 6 year old have a crush?  I think so.

4.  I have had to change my headwrap pricing just a bit to help accommodate the demand.  Baby and Girl sizes are now $4.75 and Womens are $6.75.  See?  It was just a bit.

5.  I have had a lot of anger by which I have had to medicate with massive amounts of Diet Mountain Dew... it's my go to stress drink.  I'm Mormon.  I don't drink alcohol :)  Anywho... between stress, anger and Diet MD my body now hates me.  So much in fact that I ended up with blood work just to make sure that it wasn't something more serious.  Lucky for me... it wasn't.  What does that mean?  I need control and it's very hard to find it.  Which diet would be the best for me?  Which exercise can I do the easiest and quickest?  The only thing that has stuck to me without fail is my faith and reading my scriptures.  Sad to see Diet MD go... happy to see results after only a week.  Anyone else have these kinds of times?  What helps you??

6.  Lemon Polka Dots had it's first international order!  Yay for Canada!

7.  Lemon Polka Dots may also have it's first wedding order... yay for weddings and little guys needing bowties!

8.  It's finally raining here in Logan.  Yay!  It hasn't been very much, but it's something.  And of course my husband still decides to water with the sprinklers in the rain.  Hey, when you live in a dry place and haven't had much rainfall PLUS you can only water 2 days a week, you do what you need to do when your day comes up :)

That's it for now.  Follow us on Instagram @shoplemonpolkadots for flash sales and new products!  If you want more of the inside scoop, you can also look me up @hethlarsen.  Here's my name dropping again.... www. lemonpolkadots.etsy.com
