I've been avoiding blogging as of late, mostly because I don't really know what to blog about. The ideas just aren't flowing but I decided to sit down to type and see what happens.
People aren't kidding when they say how difficult it can be to find time when you have a newborn. Some days I am super productive and work on new design projects, get emails sent out, dishes washed, the bathroom cleaned out while she naps, and still have time to load her in the stroller and head out to the park.
AND there's also the days when she refuses to sleep more than 30 minutes at a time and I spend almost all of it holding her and bouncing her and watching so many episodes of Parenthood I don't know how to think anymore, and my biggest accomplishments are keeping her fed and getting a load of laundry done.
There's a learning curve I suppose.
We're figuring it out. Me and the little sweetie.
I'm spending much of my time trying to figure out how to clean the lint or something that builds up in her neck creases. It smells funny and I don't like my baby to smell like cheese. And let me tell you, it's difficult to convince an infant to allow you to clean their neck creases. They don't like people getting all up in their neck crease business.
In other news, it's box elder bug season. They like to cover the front of our house (since it's facing the sun all day) and look disgusting. And since most of the screens on our windows have holes in them we are unable to open any of the windows on the front side of our house for fear that they will invade.
Ugh.
I mean, we should probably find time to fix the holes in our screens sometime so I can enjoy the fall breeze again. But as I mentioned earlier, time can be hard to find.
In MORE other news, my wedding rings fit on my finger again! It's a very very snug fit and I doubt I can get them back off, but it's nice to be wearing them again. Hopefully my digits still have yet to shrink down to their previous comfortable-ring-wearing size.
You can do it digits! I believe in you.
Over and out.

Something about not being pregnant makes me productive again.
I'm so excited to show you my latest note cards for the shop! Now that my preggo belly is gone my creative juices seem to be flowing back to me, which feels great. I'm getting pretty good at snuggling baby girl into her Moby Wrap so that I can wear her around the house while she naps and I can get stuff done. Here are my latest projects!
These are a couple of my animal doodles from last year, digitally colored.
A narwhal thank you note for a pal.
A friendly bunny greeting card for when you just want to say hey. You're cute.
Check them out here!

Cold oatmeal.
This morning I found myself with a small window to make some breakfast.
Which I then forgot about and found 2 hours later, cold and forlorn in it's bowl.
Welcome to motherhood?
It's ok. This little sweetie makes up for any cold oatmeal that I may end up consuming. We are adjusting well - it's definitely a journey learning how to live life with a baby! As you may guess. Or already know.
But it's a super good journey.
I'll be back tomorrow with some new items in my shop that I'm excited to show you!
