Time Flies When You are Having Fun!

Wow, I can't believe it has been about 3 weeks since my last blog. Things have been a little crazy around here. For starters, I was working on some Etsy orders, thankfully in the end of March, beginning of April I saw an slight increase in sales which gives me hope that more positive sales trends are in my future. I have also added all of my items into google base using a great tutorial I found in the Etsy forums. It really just gave me another obsession to check every morning along with my google analytics! In addition to business being a little busy, life has been as well. For starters, it is officially Tball Season. My daughter just started playing Tball and opening Day was last Saturday. The day started bright and early with a Parade in which we were the parade! All of the kids and parents walk from a park to the baseball field to commemorate the season opening! Then we were back at the field at 2pm for her first game. How stinkin cute is she in her baseball outfit??

I also made her and the only other girl on her team this baseball/softball themed athletic headband. They both wear their headbands to every game!

Speaking of baseball, that same weekend was Opening Day for the Phillies. I was with my parents in the morning and knew my dad had tickets to the game but was going with my aunt and uncle. Then around 6pm I got a phone call from my dad informing me that I was going! It was so exciting to be at Opening Day, even though the game was very painful to watch.

All last week I pretty much was on a staycation at my mom's! My sister came into town with her kids and my daughter kept asking to have sleepovers there. I was back and forth all week picking up various things that I needed. One of those trips included grabbing my sewing machine and supplies so that I could fill orders. By the time Sunday rolled around, I had a lot of stuff at my mom's. Easter Sunday was very low key and it was awesome. My daughter asked me to "text" the Easter Bunny to let him know that she was staying at her LuLu's (grandmom's) to make sure he brought her basket there. She was very excited to get her basket but was disappointed that the Easter Bunny did not hide any eggs. Note to self.

Today I thought I would get myself caught up on all things Purplelicious. Until I remembered that I had to fix my mailbox. When I came to my house on Saturday to "text" the Easter Bunny (wink wink) I noticed my mailbox lying on the ground. Great. I am not sure what happened, it looks like someone hit it with a car or knocked it down. Regardless I had to take care of it today. Of course it was not a one step process but the new mailbox is in along with some new landscaping that was a result of the placement of the new mailbox. It looks like tomorrow will be my Purplelicious catch up day.

I will try to get back on the blogging routine but from the looks of my calendar over the next couple of weeks, it seems that the rest of April will be a blur as well. *sigh*
