TT Phone Home!

So I have been an AWFUL blogger, and for that I am very sorry but the reason for my absence is simply that I haven't had any creative juices flowing enough to write something that I feel would interest anyone! So although I still don't feel as though I have any funny or humiliating stories to share, I will try my best to update you on what's been shakin' lately at The Tickled Tutu! (Wow, what an intro...if you have already decided to click the X button to leave this post, peace be with you sister.)

So let's see; since I last wrote, I have been dealing with lots of fun home issues and not so many exciting Tickled Tutu issues! As you may know, I have a 2 (and some change) year old son, Owen. Owen has made it his job within the last few weeks to really test my abilities to be a strong, non-crazy, understanding mommy. And here is why. Owen has decided that he hates nap time--this is nothing new, naps have never been his thing. However, the new development is this: since Owen hates nap time, and I'm the parent home during the day to enforce nap time, Owen devised a plan of which I call "Operation Teach Mommy a Lesson". What is this lesson you may wonder? Well get ready for it, it's certainly not a heartwarming story I'm about to tell you...Owen now poops during his nap time and takes it upon himself to remove the poop from the diaper and use as finger paints to decorate his room. Did that make you throw up? I'm very sorry if it did, but this is also what I call, "Mommy's new diet plan." The very first time this happened I think I lost 5 lbs. And cried. And drank some wine. And cried some more. Owen however found it quite hilarious as he ran around the house naked screaming "MOM, I POOPED EVERWHERE!! HA HA!"

Now, I should note that all Tickled Tutu merchandise is spared from this awful disgusting thing that my son has chosen to do. I have installed multiple locks (and I'm not joking even a little bit) on my tutu room door to ensure that no one under the age of, well, me, can enter.

But back to the part about this happening ONLY when I am on parent duty. Has Chris (my ever so loving husband...) had the pleasure of experiencing this nastiness. Nope. Not at all. In fact, Owen will TELL Chris when he has to go #2 and then walk patiently to his toilet and do his business. But for me, I am being punished by my 2 year old simply for making him take a nap.

Side note to anyone who's pregnant right now that might be reading this: BEING A MOM IS SO FANTASTIC AND YOU WILL LOVE EVERY WAKING SECOND OF IT. I'M SURE THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO ME BECAUSE I PROBABLY DID SOMETHING(S) VERY DEVIOUS TO MY PARENTS WHEN GROWING UP. Or maybe not, but hey if you're pregnant, good luck!

So moving on to cleaner and more exciting topics; Tickled Tutu news! I have been running crazy sales on Tickled Tutu merchandise for the past week because I'm about to explode out of my designated tutu room--and remember, I cannot leave that room otherwise the 2 year old will attack. I have a ton of new holiday inventory that I'd love to get started on, so as of now, I am about 80% cleared out of summer/spring merchandise and about ready to list some adorable Christmas themed outfits. Keep checking back at www.thetickledtutu.com for updates--if you don't see new things arriving within the next few weeks, then Owen won and I have been committed to a home for crazies.

Anyway, that's all for today. I'm currently working on (new to The Tickled Tutu) Tickled Tutu Hand Painted Personalized Bow Holders and I must say that they are turning out to be super cute! Take a peek at them here: http://www.thetickledtutu.com/item_206/Tickled-Tutu-Personalized-Hand-Painted-Bow-Holder.htm

Until next time, my friends; take care and I hope you're enjoying this awesome fall weather!!

xoxo TT
