And a flurry of projects on the horizon that are completely un-work-related.
We just got back from an incredible thanksgiving vacation in Texas, during which we consumed roughly 4 gallons of Blue Bell ice cream and Violet grew two teeth. Eventful!
Anyway, I'm beyond excited to enter this new season of life apart from Corporate America. And I plan to kick it off in the following ways:
1) Finishing the task of decorating the Genteman casa for Christmas. There are a bevy of Pinterest items clamoring for my attention.
2) Keeping my sweet friend's adorable 3 month old son one day a week while she works. Violet will have a bestie and once they're a bit older, I'll basically have twins for a day. :)
3) Functioning as the admin for Sidney Street Sales, my hubby's side hustle that is providing the funds for me to stay home with baby girl. And speaking of babies, I'm also SUPER excited to announce that 10% of all profits from our next sale on Saturday Dec. 8th will be going to benefit the domestic adoption of our dear friends Josh and Kim Jones!
(If you want to help bring even MORE babies home, buy this EP from Josh or one of these amazingly comfy t-shirts from our friends Dan and Natalie who are adopting twin boys from Africa!)
4) Visiting the newly and resplendently renovated St. Louis Central Public Library! This dreamy place has been closed since I moved to STL and I cannot WAIT to get in there! Violet (and her eventual siblings) will surely spend a sizable chunk of their childhoods within these walls. Can't wait!
5) And finally, I intend to finish work on the first piece of a venture I've been dreaming about and sitting on for years. That's right. Look for my first works of kids lit to come to fruition in 2013. :)
For now? Back to that grind.
