How Do People Find Our Etsy Shops?
And how do we know what’s working? That’s my latest ‘idea’ for the etsy forum. I would LOVE to find out how people are finding my shop! I know Google Analytics is helpful but I don’t know which statistic turns into a sale…and that’s what I want to know. I would love to hear how […]

From day one, Cedi has never liked to be held. She is very independent and knows what SHE wants. Lately she’s been really into puzzling. She’s really good at it too! I’m working on teaching her to start with the edges and work her way to the middle…just like the puzzle-master (ie my dad) taught […]

Themed Thursday – Put An Apron ON!
Last night I went to Kohl’s with my mother-in-law, two children, and my 30% off coupon looking for a Kitchen Aid Mixer for making cider donuts this fall. I hit the jack pot! I found a Kitchen Aid mixer that model was being discontinued so it was on sale for only $100! Then…they were out […]
