Once in a while, something really exciting happens. Sometimes it's small, like your baby taking a few shaky steps. Sometimes it's HUGE, like your baby taking a few shaky steps!!! And once in a while, more than one exciting thing will collide and make an overwhelming week of super-excitement that leaves you... well, breathless!
This is what life has been like lately... breathless! But breathless in a good way. Trevor turned 1 on St. Patrick's Day, and he's started taking a few big-boy steps - only when prodded, though. He'd much rather crawl, thank you very much! It seems like this age brings a new twist around every corner. The beginning of walking, the beginning of words, the beginning of one of the cutest stages of life, and along with it... the beginning of a whole lotta trouble!
He's already into everything imaginable. Seriously, everything. Not much babyproofing was done for Jillian - she didn't need it. Not only was she tiny and unable to reach most stuff, but she really wasn't all that interested. I didn't realize the gift I was given, ha! Trevor is God's way of making up for that/laughing at me! He's all boy, though, and I love him to pieces. If he would only leave my computer alone...
You see, I need my computer. I need it for personal reasons, of course, but it's also where I spend the vast majority of my working hours. In our business, my mom does all the sewing and I take care of the "other end" of things. It's amazing how much work that "other end" entails! Mom's really busy right now, though. And for good reason. Here's where more of those really exciting things have collided...
About two weeks ago we were asked to be the Official Gifting Bag for actress Tiffani Thiessen's baby shower this past weekend! We were very honored and extremely thrilled! I've been a fan of hers since the good ol' days of "Saved by the Bell," so we jumped at the chance! We also finalized plans to attend The Silver Spoon's Celebrity Dog & Baby Buffet in L.A. this May, where we will be showcasing our Organic Insulated Lunch Bags and our Organic Sandwich and Snack Bags. These are both really big opportunities for us, and we're really happy to be a part of them... and we're also breathless. Whew, it's a lot of work!
But breathless or not, I can't help but be pleased with life. Once in a while, it feels like you're right on the edge of something big, and I feel like I'm there - in more than one way.
About Me
- Green Mama
- I'm a single mom trying to give my awesome kids, Jillian and Trevor, the best life I can. After my daughter's severe food allergy diagnosis back in 2006, I decided it was time for a change in the way we ate, lived and felt. I'm not as 'green' as they come, that's for sure. What I am is someone who's trying to make changes, one small thing at a time, to make a difference in my family's life, in my daughter's health, and in our world. My mom, Janis, and I started a business in 2008 making organic products such as totes, purses, lunch bags, baby items and more. We felt passionate about working in the same field we were learning more and more about. Truly organic products can be hard to find, and we felt very strongly that we could make high quality, stylish and functional items from the most eco-friendly materials we could find. And so we have!
