Change

This doesn't need any jazzed up name or creative title...this is change. Change is a word that terrifies many and illuminates others by anticipating the unknown. I do not really live by the stars aligning and by reading my horoscope daily, however I do, upon occassion, remind myself that when those horoscope signs were beamed up someone had it going on. I am a libra and be assured that I balance everything out and weigh all of my options before making a decision. Robin is a taurus and she definately lives up to the bull-headed demeanor and takes charge without hesitation. Change is a given in life and how we each handle it is as different as our zodiac signs.
Back to the change theme...Robin and I seem to be facing several upcoming changes and know changes we should have already made, but for one reason or another have not. We like comfort and although we are movers and shakers sometimes it feels like we are simply spinning in circles without any particular destination in mind. Our kiddos moved into a new "school" facility this week and we both felt something shift beneath us...an uneasy assurance our children are growing up. This will be the first of many earth moving experiences without doubt. We are also looking at changes on a business front. What is new, what to phase out, what to push, what to pull...life is about changing and adjusting. Oddly enough, change is a constant!

Baby It's Cold Outside!














Living in a climate typically described as hot and humid for more than 3/4 of the year, it is unusual for us to discuss "winterizing" our homes. However, we are not only talking about it we are acting on it quickly! Perhaps we are overacting as many people live through frigid temps 3/4 of the year, but for us this is news. We are on Mission Freeze-Out mode and are planning on staying in as much as possible.

We haven't blogged since Thanksgiving and isn't that a little sad? We promised our kiddos that this year we would take the holiday season slow and enjoy it by doing fun things with them. We had more fun than Chevy Chase did on Christmas Vacation (and enjoyed watching it too). We saw a movie, a live performance of the Nutcracker, let the kiddos hang out in their pjs, enjoyed a special Christmas party including a Chinese gift exchange and rang in the New Year with our family.

We also enjoyed a day at the strand near the ocean taking pictures...thanks Amanda Key Photography we had an amazing day of fun and many laughs! Take a look at the ponchos we are now carrying order 1 or 10...everyone will need them because, Baby It's Cold Outside!!! We offer a wide variety of fabric prints and designs, which will be up soon. These ponchos have been the hit at our last 2 shows...they are precious!
