Scattered thoughts...

My mind feels like it's racing. I keep spinning ideas around in my head - tossing around various business plans, wondering if I can make this work. It's too early to discuss what I am thinking about doing, but I know this much... I am EXCITED about it!

It's been a dream of mine for a long time to create a business of my OWN... something that would allow me to stay true to my passions but would also help me create a path of financial freedom and independence for myself (and now my family). I've been mulling over ideas for a long time, never ready to fully commit to something, lest I not be able to follow through, or worse, change my mind about it all.

Now, I think I'm onto something. I want to share it with everyone I meet - I want to ramble on and on about all the ideas I have!

But I won't... yet.

Soon enough, though. I can hardly wait!

Confession time...

I'll admit it. I'm a little bit obsessed with shopping. Ok... make that a lot. Before I had a baby, it was all about makeup and products, designer jeans and silver jewellery. Now that I've had my son, my shopping boundaries have expanded... and it seems like those boundaries are limitless.

From eco-friendly products to cool baby must-haves to the latest in toys and baby fashion, I want to know it all and see it all. Finding that cool new-to-me website or the most recent baby necessity gives me a rush. And sharing that information with others gives me an even bigger rush, hence.... the creation of this blog.

I'm a stay-at-home mom with a part-time job and I'm not rich (still waiting on that one!), so everything you'll see here is something I myself own, or would buy. I don't believe in spending a fortune when you don't have to, although I do believe in investing more in timeless classics.

And... on to the shopping! Enter Etsy. I blame my friend Erinn for the countless hours (not to mention dollars) spent on this site. From cloth diapers to artistic soaps, wool toys to personalized silver jewellery, this site truly has something for everyone... and I truly mean e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e! But, be forewarned, once you log on, it is addictive and very time-consuming. Rest easy knowing everything on the site is either handmade or vintage and you are supporting independant artisans and craftspeople around the world.

Happy shopping!
