Staying up late

Enjoying my time with my kids is a complete understatement! I cant believe what a positive change it has had on all of us. I do still miss the store, but to be honest, its starting to wear off. Just a little.

We've been away to the snow, no phone reception, no internet, no contact with the 'outside world' and I didn't have to think about what was going on in the shop?? did they open on time?? are the orders in?? Did they definitely put the alarm on when the left?? ha ha ha, it was completely relaxing. Now that its starting to get warmer, I'm so excited to spend some lazy days down the beach with the kids, without the mobile!

But, all this time with the kids means that I have been working at night, and staying up late! Working on the online store, uploading products, writing descriptions, searching through other sites to see what they do that I like, and getting side tracked by pinterest, amongst other online distractions. I have become quite the night owl.

My distraction of choice at the moment is kids birthday parties! Both my kids birthdays are in October, and having a girl and a boy, makes the choice even greater and even more fun!

Here are a few of my favourite ballet themed parties and a few other great references that you might also like to use for your little lady - oh to be a party planner! SO much fun! Enjoy xx
