Happy New Year! I bet you can guess one of our Resolutions…

January 1, 2013 by Leave a Comment

 

So yes, it seems as though Ties & Tutus has fallen off the planet, but we have excuses, we swear!  Before I divulge all of the reasons it has been MONTHS since our last blog post, let me first say that we hope that all of you had a lovely holiday!  For both Nora and myself it was a wonderful holiday season, where we were excited to see the joy in our children’s eyes as they marveled at lights, presents and of course their new-found friend, Mickey Mouse.

Ties & Tutus has unfortunately taken a back-burner to our intensely busy schedules. I took some crazy pills and decided to have another baby, making me now a mother to two under two.  My second daughter, Elliana is already two months old and it has been rewarding, yes, but at this stage, a bit more on the exhausting side.  Nora has been busy herself, not only running after a toddler, but taking on a position with Origami Owl!  We are thrilled to say that while adding quite a bit to her plate she has been very fortunate in business and has truly enjoyed the experience that has come with joining the company.  We have therefore neglected our lovely blog… when we began we had young babies who napped twice a day; we now have toddlers that run a mile a minute!  We’re lucky if we get in one hour nap at all and when we do, we usually end up napping ourselves…

However, like mentioned, we our hoping to resume our blogging on a (semi) regular basis in this upcoming year!  We wish you nothing but joy, health and happiness in the upcoming year!  Here’s to lucky 2013!
