happy monday, peeps. i’ll be back later in the week with some new projects. in the meantime...
o1) thanks for all the love on my whale stuffie pattern! i was happy so many people commented to tell me they were going to make one.
question though: how do we feel about me putting some up for sale in ye olde etsy shop? (which is quite bare at the moment ::cheesy grin::)
o2) e-shakti is offering googiemomma readers a 20% DISCOUNT when you shop online! pick yourself up something pretty, and think of that 20% as a gift from me to you ;)

o3) we are weaning. by ‘we’, obviously i mean elliot and i. well, mainly elliot, since i’m fairly certain i was weaned 31+ years ago.
it’s very bittersweet and i’m not gonna lie there were tears—from both of us (actually more from me) but it’s time to be done—wait, my merit badge just came in the mail, let me quick sew print it out and hot glue it on…
OOH! and i got the golden badge too!
that’s for holding Breastfeeding Mother Status totaling 95 months or more! wow. i almost want to push it another five months to get my platinum badge.
sheesh. i’ve spent just shy of 8 years of my life nursing someone.
seriously though…it’s very, very hard knowing this is it. she’s our last (yes, she IS.) and this is my last trip down this road. it feels like we’re closing the door on the chapter of our life entitled “Babies”. and while i’m excited about all the adventures in the coming chapters…i really like having babies around.
so, you know…fair warning that i’m feeling rather sappy these days. and that might pour out a touch in this here blog.
o4) also, tossing around an idea for a blog series in may. more deets to come.
xoxo,
googiemomma out.
Wow, 8 years nursing... I am hugely impressed. My one year-old just decided to wean herself last month, so I only have 3 years under my belt.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that vintage denim chambray dress... so much that I am seriously considering shelling out the money for it, even though it's about 3 times what I normally pay for clothing, and I wouldn't be able to wear it for another 5 months because baby number 3 is making my belly big right now.
PS... just bought that dress, and for only $36 WITH the customized styling (before shipping), because I'm a new customer. SO exciting!
DeleteTHAT'S AWESOME!!!! makes me happy to know the stuff i put up here is used by someone ;) way to go, you supersaver you.
