Behind The Scenes and a GIVEAWAY!

"How do you do it all?!"

That is the most common question I get.

Well today I am going show you how I (don't) do it all!

When I am not at my sewing machine, I am sitting here, working away, stopping every 5 seconds because someone "needs to potty" or because someone asks me to read them a book (which I love to do by the way) or SOMEONE bites her brother and WW III breaks out in the playroom...

And when I get in my "groove" I end up with this...

...a stockpile of hand cut circles, fabric covered buttons, rosettes stacked, piled, and placed all pretty together...

And sometimes if I drift off a little too far into "crafty" land

THIS happens...

But one thing I have found that REALLY keeps the littles happy and content is playing music.

Enter Little One Books, one of our AWESOME sponsors!

Everyday (and by everyday I mean REALLY, every. single. day.) we go through the Good Morning CD at least twice. This CD is a collection of  classical music and let me tell you, this music is MAGIC! When our house is filled with this beautiful music, a sense of "calm" takes over. The chaos quickly turns into nice, quiet play, dancing, smiling, giggles, laughter - really I am NOT kidding... I swear, this CD is a miracle worker!



Little One Books is a fabulous online book store that sells books, music and videos for littles from birth to five years of age! Their amazing website has everything categorized by age, so you will KNOW that the book, CD, or video you are purchasing is appropriate for your little one! Did I mention that everything in their store is handpicked by professionals?!

They have a huge array of books to choose from!

Everything from Fancy Nancy, Harper's FAVORITE...

To Llama Llama Red Pajama, another favorite in our house...



...To Goodnight Moon, a classic!
