Mom Monday {DIY valentines}

So I have to be completely honest I think I may have been a tad ambitious in having a full crafternoon with my 19 month old. I was reading some blogs that were mentioning crafts for 18 month old children and I had a full fledged panic attack. Was I late at introducing crafts!? Well I figured I should get started right away, so I gathered a bunch of paper, glitter, rubber stamps, and stamp pads. I was going to make valentines with Piper. She liked it just...READ MORE

Mom Monday {NSS a mom perspective}

The first of my Stationery Show coverage comes to you from a mom's perspective. This was my first show as a mother, and with Piper in tow, I was challenged mentally, professionally, on all levels really. This was one of my hardest weeks as a working mom. I think what really got me through was meeting so many other working moms at the show that were feeling exactly what I was feeling, or dealing with some of the very same challenges I was. It was so...READ MORE
