Today I have an hour to just sit and be, so I thought I should fill you in! We still aren't pregnant. We aren't worried about it! A few MAJOR life changes have been happening over the last few months and I can just imagine how I would have reacted to them if I were pregnant or had a newborn! First, Mark's position at the state was terminated due to lack of funds, so he has spent the last 7 weeks looking for a new job. He got offered a position last week ( YAY!!! ) so he will start his new job in a few weeks! Phew! Meanwhile, I have been BUSY with nannying and coaching CrossFit! Yes, I am a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (come workout with me!!) and I have been coaching 16ish hours a week!

Aarean over at Color Issue is doing a cute giveaway for moms! I know I'm not a mom yet but I know plenty of people who are just about to be! Go check it out, it's for a Solly wrap and a pair of Freshly Picked Moccs!
Okay, disclaimer-this is the first time I have made a video. I'm awkward, I don't know what I'm saying, and I'm kind of embarrassed. BUT I love all the products and can't wait to try them out! Also, I say that the Va-Va-Vivid is a facial massager, and it is, but it is massaging for a deep clean, not just to feel good! All of these items came complementary from Influenster!
Just wanted to pop in and say HI! I'm alive, just slightly overwhelmed. I am attempting to overcome the overwhelmed-ness by using a new scheduling app that will hopefully keep me on task daily! Yes I am definitely still CrossFitting. Yes I am still trying to get pregnant. Yes I am behind on my book reading this year. And Yes, my etsy shop has sold 7 items so far! I posted some new items this weekend (including my awesome chevron knitted blanket!!!-that I want to name, Suze maybe? Not sure why..). Here are some photos of the new things, come check out my shop and spread the word! KnitPurlStitch !

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
