Bits on a Sunday

-I have (yet again!) a new blog address! Update your links to make sure you can follow along at

www.gooseandtrisser-blog.com

-I changed addresses again because a) I have a splash page now at www.gooseandtrisser.com, leading you to this here blog and other goodies and b) I have a new online shop, which will be at 

www.gooseandtrisser-shop.com

It hasn't launched just yet, so stay tuned for updates. You can still find my tiny treats in my Etsy shop for now.

-There are a couple things on sale in the shop and I added a couple items to help benefit relief efforts after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the Pacific. Head on over to check those out, including this cutie:

50% of sale will go to American Red Cross

-Lastly, you have two more days to take advantage of my March sale going on - head over to A Hasty Life to see my sponsor feature and get a great discount code! Expires March 15th.

-Totally not shop related, had a Skype date this morning with my oldest bro and SIL. I highly recommend it to families that are far apart. They got to watch Bird run all around and see what she can do now. I hope to do it more often cause it is a great way to for Bird to get to know them better since they live so far away and aren't over all the time.

-This is going to be a busy week, with tons of appointments, friend dates, play dates, hopefully moving updates, cooking at home, and lots + lots of stitching (I have 8 hoops to get done!)

As we say around these parts, "Get an early start!" Happy Sunday!

Snow days

This is our view out the back window today. Yesterday afternoon we could see the green grass.

When will this be over?

Lucky for us, T got a snow day and we got to extend the weekend! On the agenda for today:

A little work from home for mom
Hot soup and toast for lunch - Cream of Potato with Ham (mmmmm!)
Several naps, hopefully for all of us
Maybe braving the snow and hitting up Sam's Club for some necessities
Netflix on the TV all day
Tons of playtime with Bird

Happy President's Day!

In honor of the federal holiday and all the snow, head on over to the shop and take 15% off with code SNOWEDIN15 today!

Happy Weekend!

Here are some shots making me smile on this warm Friday morning!

What a difference a year makes. Same outfit, growing girl!

Sent to me from my father in law...this is where she gets her cute from...

She'll be ready for the dorms in no time...no pressure (go green!)

It is so nice out today that we are going to take advantage of the nice weather and hit up the zoo with some friends!

What are you up to this weekend? I hope you enjoy it!

p.s. did a little shop update this morning, check out my newest additions!

Just another reason...

...to love being a stay at home mom: While the rest of the Midwest is freaking out about food stockpiles, snow days, and travel delays, I'm snuggled up with my mister, my Bird, some hot cocoa, and my stitching.

I'm really looking forward to the time to relax, play in the snow with neighbor friends, and work on some new designs for the shop. Not to mention the quality time Bird and I get to spend with T.

Here's hoping I can make it to the post office tomorrow! I'm not going out until then.

How is the weather where you are? If it is sunny and warm can you send some of it my way?
