School, Diapers, and Sticky Fingers!

Whew! This past couple of weeks has been a blur - - - I feel like all I'm doing is cleaning up after my sticky fingered Silly Bears, grabbing the time I need to read my textbooks, take my quizzes, and write discussion posts for my four online classes, and sewing when bedtime arrives. 

Silly Bear Handmade Premium Animal Wipes

Wait. . . that is all I'm doing! 

I certainly put a full plate of commitments in front of myself this summer, didn't I! But it's all going well. 

This past Saturday, my friend and shared a booth at our town's Block Party and had great success at getting people interested in our products - - - I even sold $122 worth of Silly Bear Handmade diapers and wipes at the Block Party, which made for an even more successful day than I hoped for! 

My Silly Bear Handmade Pink Owl Print OS AIO Diaper

Funny thing, one of my customers on Saturday turned out to be my labor and delivery nurse from my delivery of Joseph! What a strange and blessed coincidence to run into her! She was delighted to see me, and we reminisced about when I birthed Joseph, talked about the kids, and they lovingly perused my diapers and purchased two! 

In other news, school is going well. My hardest class for sure is Ethics - - - philosophers really can talk themselves in circles about how and how not to define "right" and "good" can't they! I'm still waiting for the "this is the theory that seems to be the most correct" statement, but I don't think I'm going to get a hard and fast answer. 

Psychology is a really interesting breeze of a class, sociology a bit more difficult but still relatively easy, and my "learning about online schooling" class is basically a participation class. So, as long as I keep up with when things are due and exactly how to submit them correctly, I think I'll be pulling out of my first semester of college courses since 2007 with a relatively high GPA. 

We are still on the waiting list for a full-time spot at Abbey's preschool, but I am hoping that with the group of children leaving the preschool rooms for kindergarten this fall, that Abbey will finally get a full-time spot. She has been attending two "full" 8-3 days and "sleeping on a cot!" which she is hilariously proud of ;) School has been awesome for her, and she loves it, and her teachers and friends adore her. It makes me so happy to see her thrive in a good school environment!

Silly Bear Handmade Napkins

So, we're off today to search for our dog, who has decided to adventure around the neighborhood this morning. . . then, we're off to Abbey's first swim class, and lunch, naps, and schoolwork and Etsy store stocking for mama. Daddy is working a lot, as he picked up a second job while his Coast Guard cutter is on dockside maintenance. . . so we'll see him at bedtime, and start it all again tomorrow! 

Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful week!
