I remember when I moved here and my husband complained that Americans had too many holidays. Well for the past few weeks there was at least one bank holiday every week. In the states we have a bunch of holidays in name only. So Sandro is home again!

Last night I tried my new bedtime ritual with Isabella and instead of an hour of crying there was only ten minutes of it.

Right now though she is screaming for kicks! If you saw us in public you would never believe that my child screams for fun at home. In public she is afraid to make noise. We will go to the grocery store and she will sit there silently. If we go shopping all day and she gets hungry or needs changed she will only let out a small wimper but at home she is screamer.

Yesterday I made a ton of new necklaces and earrings! I managed to photograph them all and list half of them. I actually have two of each but I am low on headpins so I will only list one until my headpin order comes in. They are up on Dawanda as I type!
