shop is open!

just wanted to pop in and let you know that the shop is back open!
i won't have any hoops listed for a few more months, at least
but for now you can snag some prints or hair accessories
[everything is ready-to-ship!]

here's a glimpse of what you'll find:

and just in case you were wondering how i'm doing after baby #2, i'm surviving!
i should clarify, because surviving makes it sound like i'm barely getting by... 
which is not true. it's actually been surprisingly easier than i thought.

little tessa is sleeping for 3 hour stretches at night, which is wonderful.

and the whole adjusting-to-two-kids thing hasn't been too bad, so far. 

just managing them, getting them ready, etc, is the hard part.
but so far i don't have any odd behavior issues or jealousy to deal with, which is so nice.
reese has always been easy and compliant, and she's pretty much sticking with that.
it's just the normal logistical issues that you'd naturally run into that's been harder, but totally do-able.
i know there will be good days and bad days, easy days and hard days, 
just like there were when i just had one. 

i think the fact that i'm such a homebody really helps. 
i don't mind being home all day long 
and i don't feel like i need to fill up my schedule
or start getting back into extra-curricular activities any time soon. 
i can see how it would be harder for someone who is used to being busy
or who thrives on being out with other people.
that's just not me.

sooo, though it may be quiet around the blog, all's well in real life!
i couldn't feel more full or blessed or thankful for my little family :)

when you feel like a failure.

well. this post is hard for me to write. because i feel a little bit like a failure, but mostly an imposter . remember when i told you about Babywise , and i even posted a video all about how to get your child to sleep through the night and acted like i was this expert? yeah... well it turns out i'm not. you know how i have a ten month old baby? and, you know how she wakes up once or twice every night? some of you are thinking  well, duh. and i told you so . but here's what i want you to know:  it's really hard for me to admit defeat.  i want to share my heart with you; the deep, dark, ugly, and triumphant parts, and i just want you to hear me . i hope you'll honor that. i almost turned off the comments except that i want to leave them open for anyone that might be struggling like i was. so, do you remember when i wrote about  how i haven’t slept in almost a year  and how i feel like there’s no end in sight. you guys, sleep-deprivation is something that i don
