My First Blog Post

I am a 28 year old stay-at-home mom of 2, who has nothing but free time to sit and blog!  Just kidding.  I had this vision of a peaceful life with an amazing husband and beautiful children who are mostly perfectly behaved.  In my vision, the kids and I do fun things during the day, and evenings consist of playing, family walks, and home cooked meals.  Then sweet bedtime stories and kisses goodnight.  Well, didn't quite all work out that way.  Yes, I have an amazing husband and two kids who I love with all my heart, but there's a lot of difficulty in between all the sweet lovey moments.  Kids aren't born well-behaved - it takes years of patience, love, and discipline (WORST part of parenting). And I've learned that those homecooked meals only happen when my hubby gets home at a decent hour from work and I can actually find the time in between diapers, nursing, potty training, feeding, and cleaning to cook.  My life is hectic, but it's also never been better.

So since I have so much free time, I decided that I want to start a company - "Amylou".  I am making cute little baby accessories (headbands, hats, tutus, etc).  I have been inspired by all of the cute little girl stuff I have recently discovered through gifts and shopping for my baby girl.  So, in my blog I am going to share with you this crazy experience of being a mom of 2 babies and launching and running a new business!  Wish me luck!!
