I Believe in Love guest post & my sewings on a gift guide

What I really want to write about was our epic family vacation. Epic. Staycation for our immediate family, ca-y-cation for those out of towners who traveled with their wee ones to join in the party. 6 kids under 4. 11 adults in the house. We all fit, somehow. And no one died.

But while I’m editing the photos and weeding out all the ones where no one is looking at the camera, or my mom cut off the heads of some, find me on other places on the internet.

Do you follow I Believe in Love? Well, you should. It’s an awesome project. I wrote for them about coping with being the at-home parent, but that it’s not a competition for who suffers more between AA&me. Read it here.

And I partook (partaked?) in a baby gift guide with a couple of things from my etsy shop. See the gift guide here. Scroll. Keep scrolling. I’m number 5, the chenille wipes. Love those wipes.

Most importantly, know that I haven’t put away my clean clothes for a month so they’re in a big pile on the floor of my closet and I can’t find a thing to wear. I rummage and rummage but only encounter AA’s work socks and my hoodie sweatshirts. Where are my nursing tanks? Where’s something that doesn’t smell like cottage cheese / baby spit up??

In closing, I’m going to this amazing conference/cocktail party in Texas next weekend. I’ve been planning for it for . . . oh, forever. There’s a shoe contest, though. Struggling to pick out which of my shoes would actually win one. The hello kitty pink ones with mimicked toes like claws? The gold tasseled roman 4 inch stacked heels I almost wore under my wedding dress? red & black cowboy boots with flames?
