Wowsa, I had a really tough month last month!

As you know from my previous scanty posts here, I did some HUGE changes to our site. The result has stressed me out so bad, I had a severe 3 hour panic attack one night, had such intense muscle tension that it left me exhausted all day. In the midst of it all, I tried to get healthy by running alot, but in the end I overdid it and burned out.

Crossed my husband and my mind to just sell the business and lead a much more simpler, peaceful life.. Decided to wait until I was normal.

A few sessions with my therapist on how to BREATHEEE and support from my babywearing vendor friends, and as of this week I’m back on track to my usual, optimistic, ambitious self!

That little breakdown out of the way, here’s what I’m going to do to make sure this doesn’t happen again:

  1. I trained my Office Manager alot of my job to share the load.
  2. Learning how to Breathe and Relax if I feel any tension and my shoulders cringing up.
  3. Getting to bed at a healthy time instead of 2-4am.
  4. Drinking water instead of chain-drinking Diet Mountain Dews. (hard to do!)
  5. Venting frustrations in a healthy way by jogging/hiking
  6. Starting up yoga!

The big $1000 giveway Baby Sling Photo contest is almost done!

Our customers and babywearing friends nominated the best photos, and luckily I still remember some database and web programming skills to display the top 200!

Ha, another brand new domain:

Some entries were spammed by the submitters, lol, but here are some of the top ones that I like:

385 - Didymos Hortensia carrying 2 babes, one in, one out   11 - Beco in Tulips field 137 - Sakura Bloom at ocean 919 - Washing dishes w/ a Mei Tai Snuggling in Martin

I just want to get some feedback on what photos to vote for the categories, and then the FINAL voting begins!

GOOD luck to all that entered!

Well, this week both David my husband and I are working from home, but we have a little guest helping us. Our daughter is sick with a fever, cough, the works. Poor Satori!

So I kept her home yesterday and today and David and I took turns caring for our little sick one. We both have offices right by where she plays, so we both could get quite alot done, but I had planned to do a big photoshoot this week. Guess it will be delayed a bit.

Also, I uploaded the skeleton of my new Outlet shop: http://www.babyslingoutlet.com/

So it’s live now, but obviously not ready for orders!
