Wanna know a secret??

I am SOOOO bad with keeping up with this blog!!! Why?? Well maybe it is because I know no one read it so I feel like I can slack off. But seeing as it was my original idea to use this blog as a substitute journal/scrapbook/family updates I figure I should really get on the ball!! I have been constantly updating the Our Way to Learn blog and the Fullers Country Store website, so why is it that I neglect this one? Who knows, who can say, but it is now my mid-year resolution to keep this baby active!!

So what's been going on with us since Christmas?? Well, a lot I guess!! We have taken the kids out of daycare and I have been homeschooling Erin. (Hence the Our Way to Learn blog!) Amazingly she loves it and it is one of the few times of the day I can actually get her to sit down and focus. On me. No other distractions. I guess she likes to learn!! Elleri is now 11 months old and running around like a little crazy person. No, I mean it. She can scale furniture and walls. Makes me wonder why I was so stressed out when Erin was a baby when all she really ever wanted (and still wants) is to be cuddled by Mommy. Elleri will eat anything she comes in contact with. Her favorite recently seems to be electrical cords and the metal part of the reins on Erin's rocking horse. I was washing the dishes the other day and heard Elleri fussing in the living room. I went in to find her mouth full of blood! She is teething and had relentlessly been chewing on the metal reins. I had to remove it from her play area which subsequently made Erin very sad. You can never win as a Mom.  The candle business has been booming. Yay! Finally! I just signed up for a great marketing program called Out of the Box Sampler. it is such a neat idea! I wish I had thought of it!! Companies send in samples of their handmade products and then they divvy them up into sample boxes that people try out and then (fingers crossed) go to your site to buy more cause they just LUUUUVV it so much! Our first month in the box will be July so we will see how it goes. Here's some photos from what has been happening as of late!!
