Exciting changes being made to our business!

We have a major announcement to make. Drum roll please...
With the popularity of our hand stamped jewelry, we have decided to close Crafty Babies and change our company to solely focus on our line of hand stamped jewelry.
We are excited to announce the launch our new company, Circle of Sentiments.

With this transition, we have some exciting new products to share with you, including necklaces with copper discs, new design stamps and a cuff bracelet. To see our entire line, please visit our new website, www.circleofsentiments.com.

We are still "fine-tuning" our new website, so please bear with us during this transition!

Important Notice: As of Nov. 14th, all Crafty Babies customers will be automatically re-routed to our new website. So, if there's anything you want to order from Crafty Babies, now is the time! You only have a couple weeks left.

Car Wash

I went to go get my car washed today. As we were about to leave, I strapped the boys into their car seats and starting to drive home. As I turned the corner into our neighborhood, Ryan's car seat (along with Ryan) completely tilted over. I soon discovered that the people washing my car must have unbuckled the car seats to better clean my car. I've never had this happen! I am so thankful that we didn't get in an accident (wouldn't that be just my luck?)! So, just a warning... if you go get your car washed, make sure your car seats are still strapped in before driving away.

P.S-- Sorry for the sparse blogging! Things have been a little busy around here.

The Power of M&M's

I'm a big fan of bribery. If offering something small and simple makes my life easier, then I have no problems with that.
My mom has been wanting a new picture of the boys. I struggled to get a cute picture of them at the pumpkin patch this weekend and ended up with nothing but closed eyes, backs of heads and silly faces. This morning I tried again. This time, I offered them each an M&M if they let me take a picture. Sure enough, it took less than 5 minutes to get 2 cute pictures.
Here are the pictures that I took :)

Coming Soon...

We are expanding our line of hand stamped mommy jewelry! We are working on several new designs, including necklaces with copper discs and a sterling silver cuff bracelet! All of our new products will be available by the beginning of November (just in time for the holidays!). Stay tuned...

P.S-- If you can't wait until November, please feel free to contact me to place your order!

P.S.S-- The necklace says "Lucky Mommy" not "I Ucky Mommy"... sorry for the bad photographs :)

Mommy Moment

Life can get a little hectic sometimes, but it's times like these that make you appreciate what you have. Sure, I could have gotten a lot done when my little guy was sleeping, but sometimes you just have to slow down and enjoy these priceless moments.

Diaper Bag/ Tote

We've just added these adorable diaper bags to our store. On sale now for $42.
This bag is designed to be versatile. As a diaper bag it can be used for bottles, diapers and other baby necessities along with mom's stuff.
But this is not the only option. It can be used as a book bag, computer bag, knitting bag and more...The possibilities are endless.

Boy or Girl? Find out as early as 10 weeks!

I just stumbled upon the coolest product that allows you to do an in-home gender prediction test. I've heard of these before, but always thought they were really expensive. This test is only $30 and can be done as early as 10 weeks! Here's the site:

I might need to call Nanny 911...

Over the weekend, we made the transition from cribs to beds. The first night (Saturday) went surprisingly well. Sunday, however, was a complete disaster. The boys did not go down for their usual nap which made me think that they would go down much easier at bedtime. Boy, was I wrong. After 2 and a half hours of going in to their bedroom and putting them back in bed, things took a turn for the worse. We went in to check on them again, to find that they had found a box of coloring crayons and a box of chalk and decided to color all over EVERYTHING... their sheets, their cribs, the wall, their dresser. It was (and still is) such a mess. I don't think that I've ever yelled at them so much! We decided to take everything away as a punishment. They now had to go to bed with no blankets, no pillows, no stuffed animals, nothing. It took another 2 hours of fighting with Ryan (who was hysterically crying the entire time) until he finally collapsed of exhaustion. We had to stick to our guns and not give in. It was 4 1/2 hours of struggling, but hopefully they've learned their lesson.
Above is a picture of one of the sheets they colored!
